Harvard: Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis ’68 and a chainsaw go after handsome...
...soft-tissue transplants each year go smoothly, but the problems at CryoLife highlight concerns about quality control throughout the tissue-bank industry. (By contrast, storage problems are simpler when harvesting whole organs like hearts and livers, which have to be transplanted immediately.) "It's almost like anybody with a chainsaw and a pickup truck can go into the body-harvesting business," says Don Keenan, an Atlanta attorney representing 14 clients pursuing claims against CryoLife. One of them is the family of Brian Lykins, 23, who died three days after what should have been routine orthopedic knee surgery last November...
Harvey Fierstein, in drag as Tracy's battleship mom (the role played by Divine in the movie), is Hairspray's showstopping centerpiece. But somewhere between his flouncy scenery chewing (with a chainsaw voice that is now painful to hear) and the familiar gags about uptight parents and butch gym teachers, Hairspray starts to lose its fizz.

"He's the guy who represented himself," Cianci says. "That's like a dentist trying...
...people’s hearts rather than their minds, despite their actual symbolic meaning, but perhaps this is not all bad either. I am certain that most people (even those who favor abortion) would strongly object to the idea of a poor little dog being shredded by a chainsaw. But there are far too many people who feel no qualm about a human fetus being impaled by a sharp hook. I think that these insensitive people must be reminded that, although a fetus may look ugly, a fetus will inevitably (that is the key word) become a cute little baby...
