...sixteenth-century classicism. With a bare economy of notes, it builds up by means of polyphonic architecture to a climax of tremendous beauty, and with the final text "in pace," the souls of the righteous seem to float off into space and come eternally to rest in Abraham's bosom. The Lamentations of Jeremiah, an entirely different sort of thing, takes as its subject the Biblical account of the fall of Jerusalem, and achieves its effect of sustained grief by a certain pitched, calculated monotony. Now and then a sharper twist of phrase suggests the weeping and gnashing of teeth...
...pact. The Republic had its finger in its mouth. Then Mrs. Austen Chamberlain, her husband's ablest helper, rose to the emergency. She chartered a small yacht, stocked it with international delicacies, and during one long afternoon the plenipotentiaries of Britain, Germany and France relaxed on the placid bosom of Lake Maggiore...
Increasingly newsmen have lately been stirred by uneasy memories of World War I's Committee on Public Information, and its mercurial creator of genius, George Creel, the crusading Denver newspaperman.

Surgical correction of bosom sag involves lifting the breast, reattaching it firmly to the pectoral muscle by means of absorbable sutures, transplanting the nipple and areola (pigmented circle) to their esthetically proper site on the new formation.

If the breast is "hypertrophic" (over-developed), superfluous tissue is removed in a wedge-shaped segment. If it is "atrophic" (under-developed), an uplifting and reshaping job alone often restores a satisfactory contour; if not, fatty tissue lifted...
...sitting in his gloomy chateau at St. Gilles in eastern France, Johannes Thomasset, a gentleman farmer, spare-time poet, Francophobe and "passionate lover" of all things Germanic, dreamed of Burgundian knights of old, of Gundicar and Gunderic, who, coming from Germany, carved a kingdom for themselves in the bosom of degenerate Gaul. In the summer he pruned his grapevines, hunted Germanic relics on his land, and penned iambic attacks on the Latin descendants of those Gauls who finally crushed the flower of Burgundian knighthood...
