Called by her keeper, police found Sylvia's body with arms crossed over her breast. Even to hardened cops, the sight was stomach wrenching. Virtually no part of the girl's corpse was unmarked. Her fingernails had been broken upward; there were massive bruises on her temples; much of the skin on her face, chest, arms and legs had peeled from scalding water. Her lower lip had been bitten in two, presumably during her agony. The immediate cause of death was a blow on the skull. In all, Sylvia's body bore an estimated 150 burns, cuts...
...medical textbooks either ignore the problem or dismiss it in a sentence. But there is far more to acne than that, California's Dr. Jerome K. Fisher told the American Dermatological Association. And much of the trouble can be traced to what goes into the victim's stomach.

His fee rises from $500 to $3,000 per concert; he works only six months a year and never gives more than two concerts a week. Still, the springs keep tightening, the stomach keeps churning.

Horowitz takes a vacation. The vacation becomes a sabbatical, the sabbatical a leave of absence, the leave an adieu...
Diamond Jim Brady, the big, bluff New York Irishman whose stomach was as expansive as his manner, is enshrined in American folklore as one of the truly great spenders of the Gilded Nineties. He spangled himself with outsize diamonds, usually began a twelve-course meal with a gallon of orange juice, hosted lavish dinners where champagne corks were gathered up in laundry baskets. What is not so well known is that Brady was one of the founding fathers of expense-account entertaining. He shrewdly courted publicity because he felt that it was an asset in his job as a railroad...
