Assuming that A equals one and B equals two, etc., he added BACON up to 33, found it "very significant" that in one passage of Part I of Henry IV in the First Folio, the name Francis appears 33 times. Another numerologist noted that SHAKESPEAR has four vowels and six consonants. He then turned to the 46th Psalm, declared that the 46th word from the beginning was SHAKE and the 46th from the end was SPEAR. His conclusion, according...
...beautiful horse park but never winning a race, Mrs. Jan Burke's brown horse Dedicate went to the post for one more effort. Lugging rough-riding Willie Hartack for the first time, Dedicate lay back and saved ground all the way to the stretch in the $106,100 Woodward Stakes, then came on along the rail to drive home briskly and beat both Gallant Man and Bold Ruler-a pair of thoroughbreds that were theoretically fighting it out for the title, Horse of the Year.

Back to the doctor, who begins to suspect that there is more to Eve White than meets...
What's worse, the difficulties of Eves-dropping are complicated by the inevitable fact that movies are made to be seen, and the camera has not been invented that can dolly around the landscape of the soul. Actress Joanne Woodward, a television player who is easily the twinklingest star that Hollywood has constellated this year, modulates face and figure with the eerie plasticity of an India-rubber woman, in a spectacular effort to reveal and distinguish the three people she is supposed to be. As Eve White, she looks something like a rose that has been pressed too long...
