	The Skin Of Our Teeth (Thornton Wilder Society)
		When writing The Skin of Our Teeth, Thornton Wilder called it "the most ambitious project I have ever approached." This may be true, since the play does strive to represent the ongoing going struggles of humanity, but it can still be placed within the rest of his canon.
		While The Skin of Our Teeth repeats the life-cycle allegory (though on a cosmic scale) and presentational theatrical style of Our Town, it employs the farcical tone and type characters of The Matchmaker.
		And the steps of our journey are marked for us here." There was great cause for a pessimistic outlook at the time Wilder was writing: headlines were dominated by a second world war a mere twenty-five years after the first, and the hardships of the Great Depression were fresh in collective memory.

	Teeth of the Skin
		There are three basic types of shark teeth: slender, awl-like grasping teeth (as in the Shortfin Mako [Isurus oxyrinchus] and Sandtiger [Carcharias taurus]), blunt, mosaic-like crushing teeth (as in the smoothhound sharks of the family Triakidae), and triangular, blade-like cutting teeth (as in the Great White).
		However they are shed, the end result of this oral choreography is multiple rows of teeth riding forward in the jaw as though on a kind of dental conveyer belt, providing a shark with a constant supply of fresh, sharp teeth.
		The broad upper and lower teeth of older White Sharks are well adapted to slicing bite-sized gobbets of flesh from creatures too large to be swallowed whole.

	The Skin of Our Teeth
		Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of Our Teeth" may be one of the oddest plays ever to be bequeathed a Pulitzer Prize.
		Audiences at the premiere in 1942 were reportedly bewildered by this strange blend of fantasy, fable, biblical satire and melodrama, and while the author seemed to be making some points about humanity's invincibility through the ages, this wacky absurdist piece isn't much clearer half a century later.
