...trial brought out widely differing views about when a fetus becomes viable (capable of independent life outside the womb), as well as conflicting answers to the question of whether-and if so, when-a fetus becomes a person.

And so we work at Harvard, forsaking our more equally distributed, humiliatingly less lauded sisters in the badlands remote from magical Cantabrigia.

This is implicit in Turner's Venetian paintings, where the fretted and tottering profiles of the once omnipotent city melt (so ravishingly, and with such implied finality) into their last erosion by light and water...
