When Samuel Sadove, 25, a doctoral candidate in cetology (the study of whales), and Marine Veterinarian Jay Hyman, 46, tried to put a line around the animal's tail to haul it out to deeper water, the whale batted both men off their feet...
Tests on the mucus, which Hyman had collected by poking a giant Q-Tip into the blowhole, revealed four different types of pneumonia bacteria. The prospects seemed bleak. But scientists dosed the animal with penicillin and began serving it squid-a sperm whale favorite.

In fact-start writing! -none of the Ramones is a Ramone. Joey is Jeffrey, scion of the Hyman family of Forest Hills, Queens, but he has no brother named Johnny, whose true surname is Cummings and who is,in no way related to either Dee Dee, who started life as Douglas Colvin, or Marky, born Bell, who joined the Ramones family after Tommy Ramone, whose real name...
