CACTUS FLOWER is a French farce successfully transplanted to the U.S. by Director Abe Burrows. Handling dialogue like a bone-dry martini, Nurse Lauren Bacall is all efficiency in the office, but predictably cuts loose on the dance floor with some torso twisting that causes Dentist Barry Nelson to drop his dentures...
...most important artery, the posterior tibial, was destroyed for a length of several inches and was beyond repair. The smaller anterior tibial artery had lost only 1½ inches. By taking out splintered bone and shortening the leg slightly, the surgeons were able to pull the two ends of the artery together. Then they drilled through the bone above and below the fracture and inserted four stainless-steel pins; they held the projecting ends of the pins together with steel bars and surgical screws. With everything firmly in place, Dr. Byers and his assistant finished the delicate task of repairing...
Sutures for Tendons. Larsen spent weeks in a cast and a year on crutches. He needed more bone grafts before he could walk with a leg brace and go to work, standing all day at a bench, repairing ignition armatures.

Last December he got Larsen back into the hospital, where orthopedists freed three major tendons from masses of scar tissue both above and below the old break, and joined them with steel...
Norell's gowns are more than short; they're shapeless. One after another, his models whirled around in shifts that barely exposed a single curve between neck bone and kneecap. Still, the dresses looked classically elegant. Some were pastel-colored, with a wide band of bugle beads on cuffs and hems; others were made entirely of beads in gay, candy-colored stripes.

...stripped to the bone by the howling winds of life, a man strides past another on a barren pedestal. Both figures are skeletal, their contours a last frontier against nothingness. Both, despite their perilous proximity, seem abandoned in a void. But they exist. This is the main and master image in the art of Alberto Giacometti. It is his desperate, yet defiant picture of mankind, a symbol of the mid-20th century crisis of humanism-and the likeness of Giacometti himself...
