Having eliminated various factors that might have accounted for the decay slowdown-such as a lack of oxygen or the presence of any substance with preservative qualities-the scientists decided to double-check and expand their findings by suspending marine bacteria and nutrients at even greater depths. They concluded that the rate of degradation is an average of "ten to 100 times slower in the deep sea." In the deep, they found, there seems to be "a general slowdown of life processes," probably due to the "combined effect of high pressure and low temperature." Alvin's sandwiches, for example...
...Cooper has trimmed down to 175 Ibs. He has rehabilitated not only himself and his wife but countless other Americans through the exercise system that he calls "aerobics" (literally living in air). Cooper has stretched the word to mean "promoting the supply and use of oxygen." To him, it spells vigorous, breath-taking exercise at least four or five days a week...
...entering, each sinner is met by a hostess who offers a strictly proper degree of sympathy. First, she gives the sufferer a snort of oxygen and a secret concoction. "My chemistry's right," Harris says. "The drinks just replace in the system what's been depleted by the alcohol." Then the patient steams a while, undergoes a whirlpool bath, downs a second concoction and, according to Harris, that does it. "I can cure a hangover in ten minutes," he claims, "but with the sympathy, it takes from...
...addition, the report cited experimental evidence that cigarette smoking causes a relative deprivation of oxygen in the heart muscle. It also contributes to circulatory problems by constricting arteries. The Surgeon General's conclusion: "Cigarette smoking is a significant factor in the development of coronary heart disease...
...prevent a recurrence of Apollo 13's troubles, NASA has drastically altered the design of Apollo's oxygen tanks, incorporating such safety features as stainless-steel-sheathed electrical wiring, heat regulators controlled by the astronauts, and external cutoff switches. In addition, NASA has added a third oxygen tank, a long-lived storage battery and extra water supplies as reserves for the command ship. Even Mission Control will profit from the $15 million safety overhaul. If any of Apollo 14's critical systems go awry, as did the defective oxygen tank in Apollo 13, loud beeping alarms will...
