...facts: diethylstilbestrol (stilbestrol for short) is a synthetic of the same chemical family as the female sex hormones (estrogens). Physicians prescribe it for some women whose systems need more estrogens, for some men with prostatic cancer. Back in 1947, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration authorized poultry farmers to use stilbestrol as a chemical castrater for cockerels, by implanting 15 mg. at the base of the skull (so that any residue at killing time would be thrown away with the head). Thus artificially caponized, the fowl gain weight faster than surgically castrated birds. Caponettes made up about...

...sanitarium up the hill-they come together out of loneliness, are at first trivially autobiographical, then more and more confidingly so. They have a drink with newlyweds, look back on marriage that has come to grief, resist pity and show twinges of self-pity, talk of love and resist sex. The woman, it turns out, has an unfaithful husband; the man has a wife he played a part in driving insane. In the end after they have made love, she goes back to her husband and he has a flicker of hope for his wife...
