Amy:  I immediately picked up a copy of the NewYorker, you had me so
intrigued!  There was a collection of photos by the famed photographer
Richard Avedon, entitled Portfolio: "In memory of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Comfort" (being somewhat confined to medical journals for my literature,
I have no idea what this refers to).  The photos consist of various
bizarre scenes of a woman posed in seductive and/or lifestyle scenes with
a skeleton.  It appears to be a fashion display of some sort.  The photo
on page 141 shows this woman flanked by the skeletal Mr. Comfort, nursing
a very skeletal-looking baby doll.  My only reaction (and I'm being
facetious, here!) is that we always wish for breastfeeding to be treated
as the norm, and here it is being treated as such.  How would we have
felt if the same woman was bottle-feeding the same doll, I wonder!  Well,
it's the best I can do in the face of something this weird!  Alicia.
