...menopause, it "provides a setting for a climax of all the feelings a woman may have about her uterus . . . It is expected that at the 'change of life' she will become emotionally unstable, petulant, demanding, irascible . . . frigid; will 'lose her womanhood,' will become fat and unattractive, and in a final step in her dissolution will 'lose her mind...
...first movement, for instance, a macabre pattern of faces appeared out of the darkness. The two principals seemed to be looking for something, then danced up to a violent climax and went away again, still looking.

...tenseness in the air. Armed troops patrolled the streets, and the press was full of violent polemics and screaming headlines. My plans for a slow approach to the new work were promptly disrupted by the Vargas story. By Monday, Aug. 23, it looked as if things had reached a climax. That night we stayed on the alert until we had news that Vargas had resigned and the crisis was over. I went to bed. Four hours later, I was awakened with the news that the President had shot himself...
