...room to give birth, Weekly knows that she can give away the kittens as presents to the children of her employers ("Oh Weekly you shouldn't have. Really you shouldn't"). Any household unwise enough to turn down such a gift risks full disclosure of embarrassing secrets. The cleaning woman wears hand-me-down clothes that always meet a standard of faded respectability: "For, watching each other, no one in Claremont Street would have given her a garment which was worse than something someone else had given her." Her presence seems ubiquitous: "There was hardly a dinner party in Claremont...
...life. She chose the rarely performed transplant. Last week Orthopedic Surgeon Richard Schmidt at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia announced that he had transplanted an entire knee -- bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and all -- from an accident victim into the leg of the young New Jersey woman. Schmidt predicts that Lazarchick will one day walk, climb stairs and maybe even dance a step...
...single passenger was fulfilling his bloody mission. Armed with a Soviet-made Kalashnikov assault rifle, a pistol with a silencer, and several hand grenades, he ran toward a military camp 175 yds. away.

Like Picasso, who painted a few realistic canvases as if to demonstrate he could...
...that he may -- must -- filch food from the dying and take shoes from the dead. When P-51s zoom above him, the plane-crazy boy crash-dives into delirium; his dreams have singed him by flying too close, poisoned him with their oil and cordite. Alone with an ailing woman (Miranda Richardson), who stokes his first erotic fantasies, Jim looks up and sees the atomic blast over Hiroshima as a blazing crystal vision. Even at the end, when a plane drops bundles of Spam and Luckies like a Christmas pinata, Jim knows his perspective will be forever darkened. No child...
