...sorry, Daddy," throw his arms around his father and give him a conciliatory kiss. At the height of World War II, when Elliott was 51, Goldstein was drafted into the Army. He promptly fractured an ankle, contracted pneumonia and spent eight months in the hospital with a collapsed lung. Lucille made ends meet by selling artificial flowers to neighborhood beauty shops, while Elliott, saddened and confused by his father's sudden departure, spent a lot of time on the Brooklyn streets...
...rivals showed up at all after Eddy's crushing victory in last month's Tour de France, the richest and most prestigious event on the bike-racing calendar. A grinding, 23-day marathon that begins and ends in Paris, the Tour twists through 2,702 miles of lung-straining terrain.

Then they examine the chest for a broken rib that may have pierced a lung, and finally they look at the limbs. The heart and the "great vessels" adjoining it are usually not examined until much later-if at all.
