More surprising was Dr. Silverman's report that heart disease acquired relatively late in life-including coronary occlusion-may be signaled by changes in the hand. Warm, moist hands with a fine tremor and occasionally clubbing* of the fingers, he said, suggest the possibility of an overactive thyroid with resulting inefficiency of the heart, and twitching of its upper chambers. A cold hand with coarse, puffy skin may be due to an underactive thyroid, and associated with fluid in the heart sac, a high blood-level of cholesterol, and even necrosis of part of the heart muscle from...
...lady who happened to be around when her house was being burgled, Dave is sent up for a twelve-year stretch. Promising to wait for him, Joy starts divorce proceedings against her husband. She works as a barmaid and as a nudie model for the kind of moist-lipped amateur photographers who don't use film in their cameras. Then she begins taking men to bed more for fun than profit. "If I turned professional," she tells a chum, "I'd lose the pleasure of it." Joy dreams about Dave and visits him regularly, but when Tom gets...
That statistical evidence can be quite deceiving. After a pioneer era of hard drinking and a ridiculous interlude of prohibition, the U.S. is neither wet nor dry but just moist. In 1860, it consumed 3.25 gallons of distilled spirits per capita; today that figure is only slightly more than 1.5 gallons. What has happened is that per-capita wine consumption has risen from one-third gallon to nearly one gallon a year; the consumption of malt liquors (beer and ale) from about three gallons to more than 16. Indeed, beer, which contains only 4% alcohol, as against 12% for table...
...Perry, Robert Blake has the narcissistic good looks Capote described, with "the dark moist eyes" and bril-liantined black hair; he even appears to have "the stunted legs that seemed grotesquely inadequate to the grownup bulk they supported." Scott Wilson, as Dick, has the "long-jawed and narrow face tilted, the left side rather lower than the right," and the "American-style, good-kid" manner that can bounce a check or a baseball with equal ease. It is their performances that lift the film from documentary competence to near brilliance. In the end, the actors have become the criminals, understandable...
...Yondah, massah," Hark said. He pointed to the shed several yards away, directly at the side of the shop, where the cider barrels lay in a moist and dusty rank in the shadows past the open door. "Red bar'l, massah. Dat's de bar'l fo' a gentleman, massah." When the desire to play the obsequious coon came over him, Hark's voice became so plump and sweet that it was downright unctuous. "Marse Joe, he save dat bar'l for de fines' gentlemens...
