...girl with holes in her ears simply can't run around with the wind whistling through her lobes. Consequently, pierced ears are a good excuse for wearing earrings on the beach, in the bathtub, and anywhere else where screw earrings are usually frowned upon...
...eyed scream. Four graphic corpses, I am told, put in an appearance. The first (Audrey's hubby) is tossed battered from a speeding train. The second (a mountainous lummox with a hook where his right hand oughta be) we discover face up and fish lipped in an overflowing bathtub. Number three (a balding dry-goodsman from the Bronx or someplace) gets his throat most ostentatiously slashed in an early-morning elevator.

More remarkable than Dr. Scholander's interest in the subject and the answer he found was his experimental approach. He took seals to his laboratory at the University of Oslo, strapped them to boards and dunked them in a bathtub, to simulate diving. Now at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla, Calif., he works with Dr. Robert W. Eisner, a physiologist who trains seals to simulate diving by voluntarily holding their own noses under a few inches of water...
...More, but Less. The idea that these birds and mammals store up extra oxygen for their endurance dives was exploded long ago. Somehow they manage to survive on less oxygen rather than more. But how? Dr. Scholander soon found out that on submergence in a bathtub the seal's heartbeat is slowed to about one-tenth of its normal rate. This happens so fast that the trigger for the circulatory defense mechanism seems to be psychological rather than physical. Scholander's experiments proved this. A loud, sharp noise produces the same heart-slowing effect on a seal...
