Orpheus becomes a demigod, standing beyond mortal sympathies and sorrows, while Eurydice, by contrast, is even more appealingly human and defencelessly child-like. The power of his song, to charm and subdue, is beyond question--drawing, perhaps, on credence strengthened by myths leading back far past Orpheus and the Sirens...
When menstruation at last forces her retirement, Laksmi may face a grim future. Her predecessor, who has just rejoined her family, is so shy and bewildered in the mortal world that she is unable to answer questions, and has difficulty climbing stairs, since as a goddess she was always carried up and down. Most of the ex-goddesses turn into unhappy old maids. Their handicap in husband-hunting: the rigidly held belief that the man who ends the virginity of a former Kumari will die after six months...

The fight drained his funds at the rate of $100,000 a month. The Journal picked up strength from circulation promotions and from some of the best talent in the business-much of it lured from...
