In Manhattan last week, Berwyn Macfadden, 27, son of Muscle-Magazine Publisher Bernarr Macfadden, answered his wife’s cruelty charge in court: “I told my wife all of five times how to fix my salad. I was very nice about it. I kept saying, ‘Please don’t put green peppers in my salad.’ I said, ‘Please put green peppers in YOUR salad, but don’t put them in MINE.’ So when it came out the fifth time, I got mad as hell. I repeated, ‘PLEASE DO NOT PUT GREEN PEPPERS IN MY SALAD. I then got up and threw the plate on the floor. That is all.”
