...cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy and must periodically return to the hospital for several days or even weeks. The patients are carefully screened. They must be able to walk about, eat and bathe without assistance, follow their varying schedules for medications, keep their rooms neat and plan their own amusements. In spite of the unit's lack of amenities, its occupancy rate is 95%, higher than the rest of the hospital, and a waiting list is rapidly building...
...that look so pleasing in schematic drawings in real life form a confusing jumble, one in which it's hard to tell where the order is. The red brick, while offset by inset balconies and windows, is still massive and intimidating. The pedestrian areas are claustrophobic, their trees in neat rows or sunk in cement, quite unlikely to be the site of casual gatherings.

So up to Chapman's office, and he says that I should drop the English accent I was using to get the feeling of the piece across. He says that one of the judges pointed out that Orwell--who's dead now--wouldn't have...
More and more women are taking the wedge pledge. Says Jan Richards, a housewife from Beverly Hills: "It's been my salvation. When a woman nears 50, she can't keep the long hair. This way, my hair looks neat, but I don't look like a schoolgirl." Mimi Meltzer, a housewife from Winnetka, Ill., won instant attention-from women and men-with her wedge. "Even the parking lot attendant tested the style after I had it cut," she says. "He asked me to shake my head to see how my hair looked afterwards...
