...obviously lacks subcutaneous fat, resulting in protruding neck tendons, bulging veins on forearms and wrists, and mammary glands, if any, that are all too easy to hide. Is that the truth about a woman's body? What an anatomical heresy! The only feminine detail I could discover, as a gynecologist, was the makeup on the eyelashes. PETER J. CARPENTIER, M.D. Antwerp, Belgium...
...departure from France to England. One is his image of a pushy American social locomotive, Virginie Gautreau, all twisting, mannered pose and lunar, greenish-white skin, identified only as Madame X.

The other is a painting of a fashionable gynecologist named Dr. Samuel Pozzi, renowned in Paris for his exquisite tastes and the breadth of his affairs, including one with Mme. Gautreau. He rises before one's eyes in a flaring crimson robe with a velvet curtain behind him, one hand on his breast, looking like some 16th-arrondissement Don Giovanni...

When pressed, he concedes that his colleagues are currently spending no more than 10 hours a week on the project. After all, they have day jobs...
...said to never have known his father, who by some accounts perished during the Stalinist purges of 1937. His parents seem to have separated before this, and Primakov was brought up in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, where his mother Anna was a gynecologist attached to a local textile factory. The family home was a 14-sq-m room in a kommunalka--a communal apartment where kitchen and toilet facilities were shared by a number of families. He left Tbilisi for Moscow in the late 1940s to study Arabic. Another neighbor headed for Moscow at the same time--his future...
