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...
...spare parts is an awesome task." But when it comes to creature comforts, life aboard Ondine is luxurious indeed. The boat can sleep 14 at one time, and all cabins are heated and air-conditioned. There are two showers (one freshwater, one salt) and a genuine Finnish sauna bath- which, when unoccupied, is used for drying spray-drenched clothes...
...THEATER OF THE ABSURD. A beautiful girl gets into the back seat of a Rolls-Royce,takes off her clothes and climbs into a bathtub brimming with Calgon bath oil. The Dash soap man butts into conversations and flings laundry at innocent people. "Louise Hexter," he commands, "start wearing cleaner blouses!" The shaming, the touch of half-suppressed hysteria, is unsettling. Another instance of the absurd involves the flamenco dancer who stomps the living daylights out of a Bic ballpoint pen that has been attached to his heel. Here the effect is different. One remembers all the other similar nonsense...
...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...
