...business, speed is distrusted because it precludes those subtle soundings that make it unnecessary ever to say that devastatingly face-destroying word "no." The Chinese, Thai and Burmese have no word at all for "no"-leaving one to interpret from context, facial expression or some other nuance whether or not "perhaps" is a flat turndown...
Most U.S. oral surgeons have operated from outside the mouth, through the neck, usually cutting through the jaw bone to shorten or lengthen jaws. The procedure is likely to leave a scar and carries the risk of damaging a nerve, thus causing facial paralysis, and it does not permit the free repositioning of parts of the jaw. Only occasionally have U.S. surgeons operated entirely inside the mouth to move the jaw, something Dr. Obwegeser has made a standard practice. His techniques for moving and repositioning entire segments of bone, with teeth affixed, speedily correct severe defects U.S. surgeons have despaired...
...patients were victims of an excruciating form of facial neuralgia known as tic douloureux, which often seems doubly painful because the victims know there is no sure relief.

...Thousands of young people with the same haircut, the same facial expression, rush out every Saturday to buy what everyone else is wearing so they can look different.

He must listen to discordant noise sung by rude, pseudo-intellectual malcontents because it is the sound of his generation. He must be atheistic, anarchistic, hedonistic. Hooray for liberated British youth! I can hardly...
Died. Helen Menken, 64, bravura Broadway actress of the 1920s and '30s, who is best remembered for her 1933 portrayal of Elizabeth Tudor in Maxwell Anderson's long-running Mary of Scotland, later suffered facial paralysis when nerves were accidentally severed during a 1949 mastoid operation, but went on to become nine-year president of the American Theater Wing, sponsor of the annual "Tony" awards; of a heart attack; in Manhattan...
