...artists came and went, but the two women remained inseparable. Let Miss Stein's mannish and serene face appear at a café, and there beside her was sure to be found the birdlike Miss Toklas, with her large, darting eyes and determined mouth. The relationship between the two women lasted for more than 39 years, until Miss Stein succumbed to cancer in 1946. Last week, 20 years after the loss of her devoted friend, death came in Paris to Alice Boyd Toklas...
...stoep, wine glasses and even books. In the hands of Ferris' son, a potbellied boor named Archie, things fall apart-both literally and figuratively. The piano sinks through the termite-ridden floor, the chandelier is unlit, the glasses are broken, the cattle die of foot-and-mouth disease, and one of the lions is decapitated by one of the characters in a fit of rage.

Like La Gioconda, she is ambivalent, as cold as she is beautiful, and as repellent as she is alluring...
These drugs, of which the best-known are 5-fluorouracil and methotrexate, are given by mouth or injection to get them into the bloodstream for the treatment of deep-seated tumors. But while they kill cancer cells, they also damage many normal cells; the patient may suffer such severe side effects that their use is generally restricted to far-advanced, near-hopeless cases...
