...great depths, the nitrogen in his lungs tends to dissolve in his blood. When he comes to the surface, it forms bubbles that clog the circulation. This might not happen to whales if their lungs were full of oily foam. Oil has an affinity for nitrogen; it can absorb six times as much as blood can. Fraser & Purves think that when a whale dives, the nitrogen in the air of its lungs is absorbed by oil droplets before it gets into the blood. So the whale makes a deep dive and surfaces without suffering the bends...

This would result in expanding consumer markets that will make it profitable for business to invest in new and more efficient plant structures and machines . . . [and] absorb the increasing available output." University of Michigan Professor Richard A. Musgrave refuted the old saw that taxes that cut consumption are bad taxes. Said Musgrave: that proposition "holds for conditions of depression only." In 1955's fast-growing prosperity, "taxes which are highly deflationary may be an advantage...
