...other guides. The NYC Access entry on the design of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel ("an understated and elegantly detailed composition") reports such esoteric details as the underground railroad station from which Franklin Roosevelt was whisked to his suite by a secret elevator. The books abound in learned footnotes and pleasant trivia (the pianist at the Waldorf's Peacock Alley uses an instrument once owned by Cole Porter, who lived in the hotel). New York restaurant critiques, by Daily News Food Editor Arthur Schwartz, are deft and sometimes devastating. At the toplofty "21" Club, the guide observes, "it is surprising...
Thelma Beauregard is a gray-haired, pleasant-faced woman of 67, who awoke one night four years ago at her home in Plymouth, Mass., with tingling and burning sensations running from her left elbow to her hand and down into her fingers.

I went to only one or two football games a year I think--a game with the wrong person was a very long, expensive date...
...likely to be heterozygous, meaning that they have one dominant and one recessive gene. Non-tasters of these bitter stimuli have two recessive genes. It was interesting to notice how the tastes literally "felt" as they were being washed over the tongue. Salt and sweet were warm and pleasant; sweet was the most relaxing and salt was exhilarating. Bitterness curled the edges of the tongue. Sour felt icy and caused the surface of the tongue to contract...
