...favorite artists; he still is. Last week exhibitions of his work opened at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Me., and Buffalo, N.Y.'s Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Despite his popularity, the artist quit New York City in 1883 for a wave-washed promontory in Maine called Prouts Neck. There the lifelong bachelor worked in a cliffside clapboard studio. Despite his old saltitude, he ordered his natty wardrobe from Brooks Brothers and purchased $40 worth of fine Jamaican rum a month from Boston's fancy S. S. Pierce for his hourly tots. He maintained, despite his absence, membership...
Bolt's answer, as I find it in his text and the reading of it by the Summer School Repertory Theater, is two-fold.

Only occasionally have U.S. surgeons operated entirely inside the mouth to move the jaw, something Dr. Obwegeser has made a standard practice. His techniques for moving and repositioning entire segments of bone, with teeth affixed, speedily correct severe defects U.S. surgeons have despaired...
...bistros and sipping the cool white wines of Sancerre and Pouilly, Farmer Georges Delair's motorbike accident was a particular tragedy. The day an auto knocked him over the handle bars onto his head, life turned drab indeed for the large, affable man. Pains in his head and neck impaired his work. Even worse, the 33-year-old Delair told the court: "Before, white wine made me gay, joyous and optimistic. Now it gives me terrible headaches, and after a few glasses I become sad or vicious." For Georges, vin du pays had become vin triste...
