...portals are clangorous, traffic-jammed pavements, dank, echoing tubes, and steel trestles which never cease to vibrate to the slamming progress of trains. Its lights and liver function with the noisy urgency of a tabloid pressroom. Its buses, trucks & cabs jostle through its arterial streets like stampeding steers. Torrents of humanity pour endlessly down its sidewalks. At night it glares like hell's hottest coke heap...

It is a rare condition (first described ten years ago by Johns Hopkins Neurologist Frank R. Ford), probably due to a defect...
...King and Britain's Walpole. King, grandson of William Lyon Mackenzie, who in 1837 led a futile rebellion against the tight clique ruling Upper Canada, began his career as a social worker. Walpole, to the manor born, worked for the good of the landed gentry. A high liver, a great man for the ladies, he was also a follower of the hounds. Bachelor Mackenzie King lives austerely. Though he has been known to ride, he would be miserable in a pink coat...
