...Bartlett pays more attention than many other experts to the antrum, the lower part of the stomach's rear wall, which partly controls the output of acids. But the antrum also seems to ex ert a balancing effect, and Dr. Bartlett's M.G.H. team has had good results from a vagotomy combined with removal of about half the stomach but leaving a small part of the antrum intact...
Prurient Hindquarters. At least three-fourths of all actors started as the rear half of a stage cow, but Griffith is the only one who still complains that the front half "stank to high heaven." Also, he brought new dimensions to the role by continually rubbing the cow's hindquarters pruriently against the scenery. He was ultimately trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and he has been in demand ever since, interrupted only by World War II, when he was stationed in Swansea town and became a close drinking friend of Dylan Thomas...
...seven bedrooms and an elevator. Downstairs, beneath 13-ft.-high ceilings, are a sunny living room and a dining room that can seat 20 at one table or 40 at four smaller ones. Upstairs are a master bedroom and bath, with an old-fashioned wooden porch at the rear of the house, a second bedroom-bath and a large library with a fireplace. On the third floor are four more bed rooms and two baths. The front steps are flanked by a pair of 40-ft. magnolia trees nearly as old as the house. Out back is a flagstone terrace...
...Anybody who has a spare Beetle lying around the garage can turn it into a reasonable facsimile of a Grand Prix car-cigar-shaped body, roll bar and all-by buying a kit for $945. An extra $1,000 buys a brand-new Volkswagen engine, plus a special gearbox, rear axle and suspension-and $2,495 buys the whole 825-lb. bomb from the factory. The family sedan can even be raced as is: just painting a stripe down the hood or a number on the door is enough to transform it into a "touring class" racing machine...
...Amen." Morning prayers had ended and about thirty bedraggled students trudged out of Appleton Chapel into the grey mist of Cambridge. They had arisen twenty minutes earlier than most undergraduates to attend the brief, daily service in the rear of Memorial Church. Part of a minority in the college, they share a distinction with approximately 15 percent of their fellows; they actively participate in religion at Harvard...
