...onlooker, Pontormo's Angel Gabriel is shown as a dissipated Florentine gallant with an exquisite shell-pink ear, hennaed locks and a flattened head. As for the Virgin Mary, she is both innocent and sophisticated, a strangely languorous vessel of the Lord, whose fashionable lilac coif emits a greenish, phosphorescent glow...
...ordinary air traveler may get a glimpse of a control tower while taking off or landing: an area of greenish glass behind which moving figures are dimly visible.

Blending and bottling are being automated, national-brand chains are muscling in on traditional local markets.

Distribution is still fragmented among 12,000 individual bottlers, but a shake-out of weaker firms seems assured...
