Florence Williams explores the history of a medical device that changed silhouettes around the world, and she finds the oldest living pair of silicone implants - in 84-year-old Texan Timmie Jean Lindsey, who has to decide whether or not to remove them for the sake of posterity and a museum. "It's my luck, they'll get lost in the mail," says Lindsey.
