...LYMPH DRAINAGE. Many of the powerful antibodies against foreign protein are carried by lymphocytes, white blood cells circulating principally in the lymphatic system. Dr. Murray reported on a method in which a plastic tube is inserted in the thoracic lymph duct just above the collarbone. The lymph drains out by gravity into a plastic bag. With good drainage, up to 32 billion cells are removed daily, for as long as four months. They are separated from the lymph fluid by centrifuge, and the fluid is reinfused into the patient through an arm vein. With a well-drained lymph system, said...
...precious little romance this time. Nureyev, attired only in white tights, was a rambunctious Adam in his opening solo, kicking up his heels like a colt let out to pasture.

So the audience is exhorted to applaud Mom and manager, composer and choreographer, gag writer and special-material arranger, the second violins and the third husband-just about everyone, in fact, except the plastic surgeon...

Kopit's play turned horror into humor by reducing characters to costumes -easy to laugh at a son being swallowed if the mother is just a feather-boa constrictor. Richard Quine's film turns yocks into rocks by trying to discover immortal souls under the plastic spangles-hard to laugh at a farce that opens with a prologue in heaven. Quine & Co. kept their cinematic corpse on ice for more than a year while they tried to decide what to do with it. They should have stuffed...
