...Death certainly isn't Allen's first crack at absurd humor. Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex was obviously less a parody of Allen than it was of sex. But there was something really unsophisticated, sort of junior-high-bathrooms-giggly about the idea of a humorous breast monster stalking the streets. While Allen is still chasing voluptuous young things--("Do you want some wine to put you in the mood?": "I've been in the mood since 1700")--his latest movie lacks that looking-for-the-dirty-part snickering.

It is divided into three compartments that reduce its tendency to shrink or collapse; the implant also has a fuzzy polyurethane covering that helps hold it in place against the chest wall. "It makes a dramatic difference," says Dr. Randolph Guthrie of New York's Memorial Hospital for Cancer...
...does another development, the perfection by Dr. Jon Olaf Strombeck of Stockholm of reduction mammoplasty, a technique for reducing the size of the breast. This can be used in reconstructive surgery to restore a measure of symmetry to the bust...
