...thing, Greene says, we should suspend our natural preference for animals with fur, feathers and facial expressions. Then, he says, we would be able to start appreciating snakes for their "special beauty and mystique"--and for such unique characteristics as their extraordinary sense of smell, their amazing versatility, their stunning coloration and a repertoire of deadly toxins that could serve as a model for future drugs...
...rather academic work, the most interesting of which are his two self portraits from 1896 and 1897. In the earlier of these paintings, we see a young man in three-quarter profile looking out at us from beneath the shadow of his dark, unkempt, hair. Energetic brushstrokes define the facial features while his body melts off the canvas in a blur of brown.

I thought it was unconscionable for the hospital to distribute scrip for the patients to obtain free cigarettes in the hospital commissary while nurses administered chemotherapy to cancer patients who smoked. Patients were grotesquely disfigured by the surgical removal of facial cancers or had legs amputated because of vascular disease caused by cigarette addiction. Many of these veterans told me their first cigarettes were courtesy of the military while they were in the service. How ironic that war did not maim or kill these men but that cigarettes did and will...
