...When my wife asks me who I was here with," said the politically incorrect Rudy, "I'll say a queer that ran around bare-ass half the time...
...veteran skinny-dipper, I had spent time at smaller nudist resorts in the past and was thus prepared for most of my social encounters in the bare-skinned section of Le Cap d'Agde, separated from "the textile world" by a guarded gate where visitors pay a nominal entrance fee. One of the slogans for the Naked City, I was told, is SEE AND BE SEEN! I had also heard about "boutiques where you can use the changing room--or try it on where you stand...

The hope is that the completed genome will enable scientists to lay bare the genetic triggers for hundreds of diseases--from Alzheimer's to diabetes to heart disease--and to devise exquisitely sensitive diagnostic tests. It will help pharmaceutical companies create drugs tailored to a patient's genetic profile, boosting effectiveness while drastically reducing side effects. It could change our very conception...
