...safely into the Navy-the last place where the wars of modern Britain will be fought. We should like to see you in the real battlefield-in the Wolverbampton ghettos and the dreary bedsitting rooms of west London. They will give you a smart blue uniform and a stiff upper lip. We would rather give you a girl, a grin and a purpose in life...
...concede that a single agent, such as amantadine, is effective only against a narrow range of infections. But, they point out, that is also true of vaccines.

For appropriate warmth, the upper smile is usually enhanced by slight changes around the outer corners of the eyes. Even the broad smile is not always an entirely convincing expression of surprise or pleasure unless it is accompanied by an elevation of the eyebrows, or what the researchers call a "raise." Other emotional expressions also depend on a delicate use of the eye area. In a sad frown, the eyebrows will ordinarily be drawn down at the outer ends. By contrast, they will...
