A carefully conducted study found that doctors were 40% less likely to order sophisticated cardiac tests for women and blacks who complained about chest pain than for men and whites with identical symptoms.

Here Cassatt uses a common Impressionistic technique: she achieves a greater vibrancy of tone by juxtaposition of unblended opposing colors...
Instead of just talking about a royale with cheese as he did in "Pulp Fiction," Samuel Jackson, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals' Man of the Year, last night strapped two of them across his chest...
