To see whether a diet modified in this fashion would be acceptable to the average American male, and whether his average wife would go along with it, the Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Irvine H.

If they are lucky, they can see a brilliant glint of strawberry blonde hair and the planed face with its saddle of freckles and wistful smile...
...pure imagination must have been responsible for Gary's artistic ease in inhabiting the soft purlieus of the feminine psyche otherwise occupied by Jimson's earthy early love, Sara Monday. Nor did any known experience equip Cary to see the world through the eyes of a displaced Cockney lad in Charley Is My Darling...
