...patients who have had their larynxes removed because of cancer learn to speak by swallowing air and expelling it while they vibrate their gullet muscles. In this esophageal or "burp" speech, the esophagus (gullet) substitutes for the windpipe. Although the Ghent surgery team headed by Professor Paul Kluyskens would say only that Borremans' larynx had to be removed, his complaint was almost certainly cancer. Knowing that many laryngectomy patients fail to learn esophageal speech, Kluyskens decided that a new larynx would offer Borremans a great advantage. If the transplant took, he should be able to speak almost normally, although...

(He was fired from his job as a life-class drawing teacher at Utah State for, among other reasons, producing drawings that the authorities considered too erotic.) Tunberg finds that when "people these days say 'Look at the old masters,' they are thinking of a cheap, Tijuana-velvety painting of a bullfighter or a landscape."

Human nature being what it is, the average driver will naturally expect even more, especially if he happens to live next door to, say, a senior airline captain. The pilot's $45,000 top annual pay will climb to $57,000 when the jumbo jets go into service later this year...
Business at Unity is done in a deliberately casual atmosphere designed to put people at ease. Rock music plays softly from loudspeakers. Bank employees banter with people who just drop in to have a neighborly chat. "We're more than a bank," says Sneed. "If we have to say no to a customer, we say, 'No. Because...
