COURRÈGES spilled out a whole locker room of sweat pants, parkas, tennis dresses, beach clothes and mechanics' coveralls. In contrast he showed a jersey dress that glows in the dark and a line of sexy swimsuits, their two pieces placed vertically, not horizontally, and held together by thin strings on the sides...
With enteric pathogens the danger of secondary cases is even less, for with this class of agents modern sanitation provides infinitely better control than we can provide for respiratory infection: in contrast to influenza, the appearance of a case of typhoid in a home does not lead to an epidemic.

Bowie's mellow but beautifully articulated baritone contrasts with his high sharp "rock" voice. The cut has brief moments when the musical concept seems to jell, but ultimately there is little sense of build or progression...
