These patients were poked with toothpicks inserted through the acupuncture needle tube at the standard points - but unlike with traditional acupuncture, practitioners did not penetrate the patient's skin.

Oddly, the steel-tube furnishings that Bacon favored as an interior designer in the '30s also found their way years later--in ghostly outline, stripped of any associations with fashion or taste--into the stark spaces and barred enclosures of his pictures.

At one end of the plastic tube is a compartment that contains thousands of chocolate bits—small enough to aerosolize, large enough to linger in your mouth and not in your lungs. To use it, take a light drag—like a kiss, they say. The particles will pass through the filter...
