Biochemist Jack E. Wallace and Physician Elmer V. Dahl could not do their research on human beings, so they took the body enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase and studied it in the test tube. Normally, this enzyme breaks down alcohol in the body to acetaldehyde, which another enzyme in turn breaks down to acetic acid. In their experiments at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, the researchers learned that barbiturates hinder the first breakdown process and leave a lot of alcohol in the system. And alcohol has a severe depressing effect on some primitive nerves, including the vital center that regulates breathing...
BURKE'S LAW (ABC, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). The owner of a key club and girlie mag is murdered. Suspects include Sammy Davis Jr., Burgess Meredith, Suzy Parker, Diana Dors, Arlene Dahl, John Ireland and Jan Sterling...
...history goes back to March of 1962 when five-year-old Roger Arntsen slipped into Trondheim's ice-choked Nidelven River. By the time Dr. Tone Dahl Kvittingen (pronounced Quitting-un) arrived, the boy was apparently dead.

Worst of all, the Nidelven is a fresh-water river. And fresh water, when inhaled into the lungs, does...
Today, not surprisingly, Hollywood contains the two astrologers best known for their "personal work." Carroll Righter, 62, has numbered among his clients such notables as Clark Gable, Lana Turner, Tyrone Power, Peter Lawford, Marlene Dietrich, Dick Powell, Van Johnson, Arlene Dahl, and Maria Montez (a prize exhibit because she was warned in 1951 that the first week of September, an adverse time in her chart, would bring her danger from water, and drowned in her bathtub on Sept. 7). Righter's rival is veteran Stargazer Blanca Holmes, who boasts her own long list of big names, including the late...
...Birds, illustrated by Evaline Ness (Pantheon; $3), achieves unpatronizing verse. The poet knows enough about chickadees to know they actually say chicka-dee-dee-dee, but the child who hopes to see live birds like the ones illustrated will be sadly deceived. James and the Giant Peach, by Roald Dahl (Knopf; $3.95), has illustrations in good old-fashioned pen and ink, though the subject matter, a magic peach big enough to house a boy and a whole bestiary, is perhaps on the squashy side...
