...culled by Editor Forgue from his massive correspondence of 15,000. "Of my inventions," he once wrote, "I am vainest of Bible Belt, booboisie, smuthound and Boobus americanus." The list is revealing. It bears the date and the outdatedness of the '20s, along with such storied fossils as bathtub gin, the Black Bottom and the Stutz Bearcat. The fate of a successful iconoclast is to be buried with the icons he smashed...
...tornadoes that are spawned by powerful hurricanes, and sometimes account for a good part of their damage, are mysterious, too. Meteorologists say that they are caused by the rapidly rising air on the rim of the storm and are similar to the eddies in water flowing out of a bathtub, but no one knows just when to expect the dangerous twisters. Usually they are much smaller than Kansas-type tornadoes, and last only a few minutes, whipping down to earth to splinter a few blocks of buildings and then dissipate...

Next morning, as she climbed out of the bathtub, she collapsed, gasping for breath and suffering intense pain in the chest. Back she went to Jefferson Davis Hospital, where doctors did everything possible to boost her blood pressure and reduce the risk of further clotting. She was failing fast, 40 hours after her embolism, when Surgeon Cooley recommended...

If the car battery is in good shape, the camper can also load up a small refrigerator, tent heater, fluorescent lamp, electric smoker for chicken, and coffee maker-all of which can be wired like an umbilical cord into the dashboard cigar lighter, a versatile instrument that...
