...surgeon makes a small incision in the left side of the chest and exposes the left ventricle, the chamber that forces oxygenated blood into the arteries. While the heart pauses between beats and fills with blood, a laser is used to shoot a minuscule hole through the muscle. (Zapping the heart in synch minimizes potential fibrillation by keeping time with the heartbeats.) The 30 to 45 wounds on the outside of the heart close up almost instantly, with help from pressure by the surgeon's finger. But the channels created inside the muscle remain open--at least for a little...
...made his career playing cretins and imbeciles, yet, dammit, WOODY HARRELSON is a marketing genius. Realizing that Los Angeles is exactly the sort of place where people will pay top dollar for something free and plentiful, he opened O2, an oxygen bar, which offers patrons a mouthful of oxygen-enriched air for $13 a hit (laced with lemon or lime, it costs an extra $2). Brilliant as it is, it's not as good an idea as the SunSpot, a round towel on which beach goers could rotate themselves to remain in the sun's direct light throughout the course...
...their satellites from the biggest Earth-bound bombardment the space age has ever seen. As you read this, tiny fragments from the Comet Tempel-Tuttle's tail are whizzing toward our unsuspecting planet at a dizzying 155,000 mph. You, of course, are protected by many miles of flammable, oxygen-rich atmosphere. The satellite your pager uses -- not to mention your phone company, your cable company and your government -- isn't so lucky. Our entire orbital army, more than 600 satellites strong, risks being shot with the equivalent of .22-caliber bullets...
...part of the experiment, Glenn and Dr. Chiaka Mukai, a payload specialist from Japan, spent four nights wired to sensors that monitored breathing, muscle tension, brain waves, oxygen levels and eye and body movement. After their return Saturday, they slept at Johnson Space Center in Houston, still wired to the sensors. They will continue to give blood and urine samples for the next few weeks. Czeisler was still in Houston yesterday according to his secretary, and could not be reached for comment...
...Cape this morning, closed highways later on(the fact that the President drove in didn't help the situation any). And you could forgive space shuttle Discovery's army of technicians some jitters as they pumped in more than 500,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen fuel. As the agency freely admits, there was a flip side to all this positive publicity. If there's a bug in the system, the whole world is watching...
