...Coucal clipped four hours off her estimated time on a flank-speed, 500-mile run to Nagasaki. It took the sorely tried Oyama aboard, and doctors went with him into the sub's decompression chamber. He spent 38 hours there and breathed a mixture of helium and oxygen to help flush out the nitrogen. At the end, Oyama could stand shakily on one leg, though the other was still paralyzed. Said Oyama: "If I get well I shall go back to diving because it is the only thing I know. But I will only go into shallow water...

As the gondola approached the ground, the crew detached the gasbag, which soared off on the wind. The gondola dropped the few remaining feet, its fall cushioned by a plastic shock absorber, and the two men from Mars stepped out. Almost at once a light airplane piloted by Don Higgins of Ainsworth, Neb. landed beside...
...long-neglected disorders, cerebral palsy and mental retardation, will get from the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness the full research treatment: more than $1,000,000 a year for the next ten years, at least, to track down cause-and-effect relationships involving such factors as heredity, oxygen shortage at birth, injury during delivery, maternal infections and use of drugs during pregnancy...
...decompression chamber was hoisted toward the surface. Pound by pound its air pressure fell. As it neared the surface, Clucas closed the bottom door to hold the remaining pressure, and the chamber with the two men inside was taken on board the Reclaim. For an hour they breathed pure oxygen to flush residual helium and nitrogen out of their systems. Then the door was opened, and they stepped out. At once they felt the dreaded pains of the bends, Wookey in his shoulders, Clucas in his legs and chest. They ran into a larger decompression chamber, where they were kept...
