...belt," says Margery Rubin Cohen, spokeswoman for the Columbus-based Victoria's Secret lingerie chain.

...while Molly Bloom has been examined, analyzed, dissected and deconstructed from the time that Ulysses faced its first obscenity charges in the early 1920s, her model--Joyce's common-law wife Nora Barnacle--has gone largely unnoticed.
