...Egyptian Man, a fairly new breed, is extremely rare-a mere 51 are C.F.A.-registered. The only spotted domestic in existence (in pewter or bronze for high-tech décor), the usually aloof Mau favors water and often surprises owners by joining them in the tub. The quiet Korat from ancient Siam is one of the oldest breeds. A silver-blue shorthair, this uncommon cat is prized for its smooth curves and big luminous eyes. The rugged Maine Coon, with a bushy, ringed tail, first entered contests in the Pine Tree State in the 1860s. Its winter-ready, snowshoe...
...fifties--when Salinger's Seymour Glass frolicked blithely with bananafish while his new bride chatted with her mother about what all the "goddam" analysts thought about that peculiar young man--psychoanalysis has been receding from, the public eye. After these years of gestalt therapy, est, and, yes, hot tubs (who can really believe that a neighborhood of fools sitting in a tub of scalding water is therapy?), it seems right to return to Freud.

Then, subsequent to monologues on, say, the doctrine of supralapsarianism, the old Dutch cleanser marches his partner to the tub and scours her flesh with the same manic energy normally devoted to saucepans...
...freezer in their wholesale plant turn slowly enough. At their ice-cream parlor, a rowdily redecorated former gas station, an elderly White Mountain Freezer Co. rock-salt-and-ice contraption chunks away serenely in a position of honor. It is powered by a senile electric motor but otherwise, wooden tub and all, it is a 5-gal. enlargement of the traditional hand-turned ecstasy machine. This freezer, which somewhat surprisingly produces enough ice cream for the 1,600 customers who crowd in on a good day, does its magic under the attentive view of the area's kids...
