...first work proving that if you intake radium your bones are radioactive for many years after you're dead - they did that. They created the science that we all take for granted.

The variety on the menus is astonishing: no single meal is repeated over the 32 school days in the period, and every meal includes an hors d'oeuvre, salad, main course, cheese plate...
