* In yesterday’s Washington Post Magazine “XX Files”: Wanda E. Fleming writes about surrendering to her surgeon after a cancer diagnosis and having her thyroid—-and bra—-removed:
She leads me to the operating table then suddenly whispers in a perfectly audible voice, “Oh, no! Why do you still have your bra on?” The attendants laugh, all three of them.

The confiscated item is pink with white lace, frilly and hopeful like something one might wear the night of a milestone anniversary. I clutch the back of my hospital gown and lie atop the table.
