...offspring proved to be what medical archivists call a monster, a boy (or boys) with two heads, four arms, a fused trunk and two legs. Without letting Mrs. Hartley see the baby, Dr. Chattin got it breathing. Then he rushed it to the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital in Indianapolis.

When cast in bronze, Greco's figure will stand a little away from Venturi's magic quadrangle on the grounds of Collodi's stateliest 18th century villa...

Features, besides fancier trim; new springs, higher horsepower (up to 127), as much as 40% more trunk space and a driver's seat with multiple adjustments...
