...cent Persichetti's Quartet No. 2 crackled with clean precision. In Dvorák's Quar tet in F Major, Op. 96, their tempos, if sometimes inflexible, were brisk and lively, their tone as rich and heady as a draught of May wine. Neither muscular nor mushy, their approach was marked by a warmth and intuitive sensitivity that projected the sweep of the music in bold relief...

"Sometimes it was so bad that he could not straighten up in the morning," remembers his mother, who tried to help with massages. Doctors at first thought he had just a muscular ailment, so Pennel ignored the pain, went on to set an outdoor record...

He even looks mean when he smiles, because he is missing his three front teeth...

Second, the pattern of veins in the surface of the breasts stands out more clearly, and this may extend to the adjoining chest wall. The breasts gradually increase in size as a result of the filling-up of blood vessels. In addition, the labia minora (the vulva's inner folds) turn bright pink, a process that Dr. Masters compares biologically with changes in female monkeys' exposed "sex skin." A lubricant...
