The time the odds were against another Ascot
Article Abstract:
Gertrude Shilling, who is famous for her creative hats worn at the annual Ladies' Day at Ascot racecourse, England, recounts her experience of breast cancer. She attended the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, London, in 1966 to have a mastectomy and again six months later for the first breast implant in England. She was clear of cancer for 17 years before a haemorrhage led to the diagnosis of cancer of the colon. Surgery cured her and she resumed her attendance at Ascot.

Look me in the breasts and say that
Article Abstract:
Women do not pay particular attention to their breasts unless breastfeeding or for medical attention, but men seem to be obsessed with them. Men stare at a woman's chest when speaking to her, rather than look her in the face. Strangers become instantly familiar with women with big breasts. Advertising and films may influence men's reaction to breasts, but it is at least partly genetic.
