Four Harvard students did exactly that on five Thursday evenings this fall, as they listened to music, munched on pizza and played Trivial Pursuit under the influence of a little pink pill of mysterious nature. Their salary...
After Baby Fae died, it was argued, retroactively, that in fact the operation reduced her suffering, that she was pink and breathing instead of blue and gasping. Perhaps. But the cameras were brought in only when she was well. She was not seen when not doing well: enduring respirators, cannulas, injections, stitches, arrhythmias, uremia.

...Intensive Feeding Center, as the shed is known, was restricted to those children who were 70% below normal weight for their age. They were given pink wristbands and fed four times a day.

These "good Germans" find it almost impossible to "follow orders." They debate Stani's skin color (pink or rose?) and attempt to match Stani's eyes to a set of 20 glass eyeballs thoughtfully provided by the Gestapo. Finally they declare him "in better than good health-You're an Aryan! You can become a German." When Stani declines the honor, they rule he must...
