...have also raised British blood pressure. "I feel inclined to apologize to all decent Americans for sending them work in such sickening bad taste," wrote the London Observer's Critic C. A. Lejeune after seeing Hammer's Curse of Frankenstein. This hardly worried Colonel ("The King of Nausea") Carreras. Frankenstein's production cost: $270,000. Its worldwide gross: $7,500,000. Net profit for Hammer...
...that William K. Zinsser reviewed films for the New York Herald Tribune, he habitually criticizedt the movies with a boldness commendable but rare in his breed. If Zinsser thought a movie was poor, he said so. A Farewell to Arms was, in his view, "vulgar to the point of nausea." He found South Pacific to be "arty and distracting."

Even supposing the Coop could stock a line of palatable intoxicants, one would still object to unfamiliar and untried brands. In opening a Budweiser, one knows what he is getting into. But who dares guess what would go into a Pale Bundy...
Main trouble: AET is not yet ready even for testing on humans, let alone for the bathroom medicine chest, because it causes too many undesirable side effects-including nausea and a drop in blood pressure.

Other snags: AET must be taken at least 15 minutes before exposure to radiation, gives full protection for only about an hour. It may take years to find related chemicals that will be less toxic...
...such odds of matter over mind. Pseudocyesis is older than Hippocrates, has affected subjects from seven to 79. Modern medicine knows it as a mental condition, arising from emotional needs so intense that they lead to suppression of menstruation, distention of the abdomen, enlargement of the breasts, and morning nausea. Most cases involve psychotic women with a feeble grasp of reality. But this patient was not psychotic. Her perceptions were normal; she knew all along that the operation had barred her from reproduction...
