...hardly looked as if she had spent 2½ annoying hours in a plane stacked up over Kennedy Airport, only to emerge into the mid-90° steam bath that was Manhattan last week. As cool and beautiful as a nightblooming cereus, French Film Star Catherine Deneuve, 24, was over from Paris for three weeks of filming on The April Fools, a romantic comedy about two sufferers of mal de mariage. And pity the folks dying to show her the town. What with costumers, hairdressers, script girls and the rest, it was almost a week before Socialites Heidi Vanderbilt...
People do things in the heat they do not usually do. A girl took a bubble bath in Mister Bubble Bath for two hours. Another girl bought a dress that had no back and hardly any front and no bottom to it. People do not wear shoes and do not wear underwear. Long hair, you admit, is a problem in the heat, but it has been long for so long, you do not remember how cool it was when it was short, and that is just as well...

...them work on the same basic principle of dialysis, or "separating through." The patient's blood, loaded with body wastes that his own diseased kidneys cannot remove, is piped from an artery into a coil or container made of permeable cellulose. This is immersed in a swirling bath, containing bloodlike salts and acids, known as dialysate. The blood's impurities (but not the blood cells or vital proteins) pass into the bath through minute porosities in the cellulose, and then go down the drain. Some models require a pump to circulate and renew the bath water, while others rely...
Seeking a cheaper kidney machine, the inventive Kolff has used standard washing machines to slosh the outer bath, sausage casing for the blood coil, and 46-oz. fruit-juice cans as disposable blood-coil holders. Now he has devised a way to run the machines without a blood pump. Kolff's machines are in the $400 to $700 price range. Another excellent model, now being used at home by about 150 patients, was developed by the University of Maryland's Dr. William G. Esmond. It costs about $600, a far cry from the $7,000 price tag for some standard...
