TWINS AND BIRDS. Mary-Kay Wilmers has an article in New York magazine (August 19-26) about twins Manette and Mady Malroux, who live in Paris. She concludes the article with a passage from the anthopologist Claude Levi-Strauss which was given her by one of the twins:

“Twins, like birds, it said, ‘occupy an intermediary position between the supreme spirit and the merely human.’”
