...based on the same strategy: cutting the tubes that carry the sex cells on their paths toward junction and conception. In the woman, the Fallopian tubes−through which the egg cells travel from the ovaries toward the uterus−are hidden in the pelvic cavity of the lower abdomen. Before recent technical advances they were relatively difficult for the surgeon to reach. In the man, a tube called the vas deferens (literally, the "carrying-away vessel") arises from each testicle to carry the spermatozoa to the prostate gland where the seminal fluid is finally compounded for ejaculation through...
...cover behind buildings and parked cars, or just stood stunned. Then screams broke out. "My God, they're killing us!" one girl cried. They were. A river of blood ran from the head of one boy, saturating his school books. One youth held a cloth against the abdomen of another, futilely trying to check the bleeding. Guardsmen made no move to help the victims. The troops were still both frightened and threatening. After ambulances had taken away the dead and wounded, more students gathered. Geology Professor Glenn Frank, an exMarine, ran up to talk to officers. He came back...
...little fells of ten or so, shot in the face. There are bullet or fragment holes in the back and buttocks, one of which had exited through his abdomen, the others lodged somewhere.

...inside the presidential helicopter just outside his palace in Nicosia. When the silver-and-white chopper reached rooftop level, automatic gunfire spat out from a high school across the street, riddling the craft. Makarios was uninjured, but the pilot, Army Major Zacharias Papadoyiannis, 38, was wounded seriously in the abdomen. Nonetheless, though he grazed a tree as he swung desperately from the line of fire, he managed to set the craft down on a 12-ft. by 12-ft. open square. Then, mumbling, "Forgive me. Your Beatitude, but I am wounded," Papadoyiannis crawled out of the cockpit and collapsed...
...more big breasts than anywhere else in the world," he explains. Whether the breasts are expanded or contracted, however, they remain functional after Pitanguy's alterations: milk flow is unimpaired, and nipples are normally positioned. The doctor is also known for his skill in removing fat from the abdomen and trimming bulging "riding breech" hips and then tucking the scars into natural lines among folds of the skin. These alterations often result in a misplaced navel. Cutting and stitching skillfully, Pitanguy moves it back into the proper place...
