Nolen's operation went without a hitch. Awakening in the recovery room four hours later, he found himself in a tangle of tubes and wires. Almost every bodily function was being monitored or controlled. To ensure adequate oxygen for his heart, he was hooked to a respirator. If he tried to move, he felt a sharp chest pain (from the break that was made in his breastbone to get at his heart). Later, as he listened to the beep-beeps of heart monitors echoing through the corridor, he nervously wondered whether any change in their steady rhythm was coming...

Bill Lee, the Boston starter, had staggered off the field a victim of the brawl, looking dazed and crippled even from the oxygen-mask territory of the upper deck.

Oceaneering has grown largely because of technological innovations that enable its divers to descend as far as 1,000 ft.-a depth that was rarely attempted a few years ago. It has developed, among other items, a complex fiber glass "rat hat" that warms the helium-oxygen mixture that divers must breathe at the very cold depths below 200 ft. to avoid the disabling nitrogen narcosis commonly known as "rapture of the deep." The $2,500 hat has been successfully tested at 1,600 ft.; Oceaneering refuses to sell it to anyone-even the U.S. Navy, which has chastised...

...space. Because they will not be equipped with the expensive space suits that are now being considered for the shuttle, passengers could zip themselves into the cheaper, airtight ball. As they crouch in fetal position, the ball, made of layers of synthetic fabrics, will be inflated with pure oxygen to its full 34-in. diameter. The passenger may find it a tight fit, but he (or she) will be able to look out on the world through a small peephole as the ball is towed by an astronaut in the weightlessness of space to the other ship or conveyed...

...youngster is the victim of severe aplastic anemia, a rare, puzzling disease in which the bone marrow loses its ability to produce three essential components of blood: the white cells that fight infection, the red cells that transport oxygen to the tissues, and platelets for clotting. Only by confining Teddy to the superclean room and giving him repeated transfusions have doctors managed to keep him alive...
