AmSeCo set up years ago one of industry's first testing and research labs that now helps it keep its edge over competition. In the AmSeCo torture chamber, a swivel chair gets 200,000 swivels before it is pronounced serviceable, fabrics are doused with artificial perspiration, and all upholstered chairs must withstand Squirming Irma-a wooden model of a human buttocks that wriggles lifelike in the seat. Out of the lab come new products, some of which take the company beyond the glutens maximus. Items...
...lumbosacral strain was, by official accounts, coming along fine. After a couple of days of rest at Middleburg, the President hopped about on his crutches with decreasing evidence of pain. Although Kennedy had twice recently reinjured his back-once by tilting too far back in his black leather swivel chair, another time by leaning too hastily over his desk to sign some letters-Dr. Travell said that her patient would soon be off his crutches.

Many of the textiles used are handwoven, come from as far away as Thailand...
With raw flair, swivel-hipped sex, lurid color and fundamental rhythms. King Kong has clapped a rough hand on English shoulders to lead its new audience through the shebeens (speakeasies) and back alleys around black Johannesburg. Great gum-booted miners dance with precision, township spivs glitter with menace as they re-enact a primeval war dance; shebeen Delilahs strut their stuff in the sinuous dance of the patha patha (touch, touch). Racy, swinging rhythms interweave tribal chants, European liturgical music and 1925 Dixieland stomps. Such certified-hit solos as The Earth Turns Over alternate with pennywhistle blues and a road...
