The eyes are the window of the soul, they say. The eyes of the woman in the ad were forty-ish -aging to be sure- but perfectly normal ( see Projo, page E 12 , Oct.15 ) .
But it was " time for a millennium makeover ! " said the ad. Above the ad an Ann Landers column screamed: " Weary wife says she's no cheerleader for husband's Viagra ".
Those " Before " eyes in the ad might have told the weary wife's tale . What tale would the " After " eyes - thank you Dr.Curtis Perry! - tell you ? Thank God for Viagra ?
The kids of the rebellious 60s denounced the Death Culture. In reality it is a denial of Death culture.
My brother just told me that our sick and dying father was visited by a priest yesterday. He received the communion host.
He wanted to TALK, I suspect. To talk about things Eternal, eschatological . Whatever is REALLY on a dying man's mind. The good priest knew better. He changed the subject to football, the New England Patriots.
Does Death make cowards of us all ?
