...bathrobe, or a towel set. I would like to not care who Philip Roth is, whether or not he has earned the license to write a novel so apparently decadent and outrageous, or whether this is the appropriate follow-up to a story about a gargantuan sci-fi mammary gland. The Great American Novel is certainly utterly bereft of Greatness, but it is great in the way that Tony the Tiger intones the word. And it is not, as some have intimated, the pretentious and self-indulgent product of a jaded literary titan who has nothing better to do than...
...Harbor General Hospital and staffed by ten physicians, sees 500 a year. Rimoin and his colleagues can now identify at least 50 types of dwarfism, and have determined the causes of many of these abnormalities. Midgets, who are tiny but normally proportioned, are usually victims of an underactive pituitary gland, a pea-sized organ at the base of the brain that is largely responsible for the secretion of growth hormone (HGH). Other dwarfs, who tend to have normal-sized heads and trunks but extremely short arms and legs, usually have different hormone deficiencies...

The new perfumes, however, are made from chemicals...
...double checked the company's TV experiment. Moreover, some lie detector experts caution that the weakness of the stress evaluator may lie in its dependence on a single measure of bodily function (the polygraph, or conventional lie detector, records several: pulse rate, blood pressure, respiration and sweat-gland activity). Besides, experts agree that although both the old and new devices can spot stress, neither can prove absolutely that the stress results from lying. The most serious objection to the P.S.E. is ethical. As the company itself suggests, the machine can be used covertly, thus invading the privacy to which...
