Diacritiques

From a NYT article (reg. req’d) on the (sometimes lacking) link between high cholesterol counts and arterial clogging:

My arteries were a whitish web curling around [my heart] like spaghetti […]

[The doctor] tapped some more keys.

“This untangles the spaghetti,” Dr. Cohen said. “It’s called the ‘rotisserie view.’ It straightens out each artery like a barbecue spit.”

Bon appétit.
