...from Italy, Goethe took up with a factory girl named Christiane Vulpius, a charming young thing of 23 who, as he once remarked, "made the mattress shake." To Goethe, the affair was a convenience; to Christiane, it was a tragedy. The court of Weimar called her "Goethe's pig," and he did not allow her to share his table when company was present. As the years passed, Christiane took to drink and ran to fat. After 20 years, in a fit of remorse, Goethe married her; but the damage had been done. Christiane died at 50, a broken woman...
...many U.S. strategists, these are the most tempting targets available. They include the Thai Nguyen pig-iron plant 50 miles north of Hanoi, the superphosphate plant at Lam Tao, the chemical works at VietTri-all built within the past decade through Russian and Chinese aid.

...also expect good New England cooking in the dining room (lobster pie, clam chowder, homemade bread, Indian pudding) and special celebrations on Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Mardi Gras, and the twelve days of Christmas, when several Treadways feature a boar's head, suckling pig and medieval carolers. Yet Treadway, where it counts, is very much up-to-date: the ten-story Treadway Inn at Niagara Falls (see MODERN LIVING) is an all-electric motel in which desk clerks manipulate individual room temperatures to suit guests as they check...
...Kentucky surgeons' patients had two perfusions; one who had three responded well to the first and second. Dr. Eiseman now believes that if pig-liver perfusions can be prolonged to 24 hours, they may be of real help in crises for hepatitis patients and cirrhosis victims who still have a little liver function remaining, and also for transplant recipients immediately after surgery if liver transplants ever become practicable...
