Death from gastric cancer, Napoleon was convinced, ran in his family. His grandfather, Joseph Bonaparte, died of that disease at the age of 40; so did his father, Charles, at 39. Napoleon did not like to talk about cancer but he could not conceal his fear, Miss Vincent declares: he had "a queer interest" in anatomy, particularly the anatomy of the stomach...

Walker of Washington University found that the girl's stomach was quieter and secreted less gastric juice when she was angry or upset than when she was in normally good spirits.

During dinnertime, from 6:30 to 7, there is "gastric plastic"-soft, slow stuff; for the last hour the show gets hot with blues, boogie, chamber-music jazz, and jazz antiques. And at 9 p.m., when the last "fetching etching" has been sent, Robbins dreamily concludes: "This is your professor of thermodynamics taking a tacit for 24. We're clearing the joint of counterpoint, but we'll be back next black...
