...Owls and Mice. But survival for Bogus is a haphazard undertaking at best. An unsuccessful attempt at infidelity becomes a mad, nude chase across the Iowa countryside that leaves Bogus with bleeding feet, if not a bleeding heart. Homeward bound, he falls off a bicycle in front of a barber shop and sardonically observes: "Several sheeted men raised their shaved skulls above the backs of their barber chairs, watching me writhe on the sidewalk as if they were owls-and me, a club-footed mouse...

...with damaged valves had no history of rheumatic fever. He knew that many viruses may attack the heart, and that some of them cause infections that seem relatively mild at the time. The cardiologist chose a virus called Coxsackie B4 for his tests and injected it into thousands of mice. Virtually all suffered heart injury and damage to the pancreas, and some had injury to the kidneys. To test his thesis in humans, Burch took blood from autopsy subjects who had damaged heart valves but no history of rheumatic fever. In many cases he found evidence of a long...

...definite benisons. Its thickness (about a foot, on the average) keeps noises out and it is a great weather insulator as well. But there are some drawbacks: once a thatched roof begins to deteriorate, birds find their way in and drive aviphobes crazy with their chirping. Some roofs have mice, too. Says Lord Compton: "Unfortunately, I'm allergic to cats, so all I can do is put out traps." A more spectacular peril is the danger from fire: a thatched roof, once touched off, explodes in flames...
