...night before, she was still plain Miss Shoda, but from the moment her mother called her at 5 the next morning, she was already "Your Highness." "Take care of yourself," said a relative who had come to see her off, "when you go over there." A little after 6 a.m.. her eyes blinking back the tears, Michiko Shoda, 24, bowed stiffly to her parents, entered the antique maroon Mercedes-Benz sent by the palace, and was off to begin her life "over there" as the first commoner in 2,600 years to wed a future Emperor of Japan...
...enough doctors and nurses are trained in the special handling of incubator cases, said Dr. Dennis, especially in regulating the oxygen supply, now that it is known that an excess of oxygen can cause blindness (TIME, Sept. 28, 1953). Even with the best of care, many preemies begin to suffocate because a membrane blocks the lungs' air sacs: nobody knows why half of such cases get better and show no ill effects, while the other half die.

If he feels academically deficient besides, he may attempt the compensatory way out, and enter the ego-building road of the student-leader...
...rushes on, engulfing a stabbing or a casual conversation with the same intensity. Simon rewrites without editing (a mouth is "closed again immediately afterwards, or rather pursed again, or rather sealed") and, in the New Realists' fashion, sets down the slightest detail with the pointillist's fanatic care. Yet his prose-wind's repeated excesses, by equating the important with the trivial, reinforce a savage statement of meaninglessness...
