FRANCO CORELLI: GRANADA AND OTHER ROMANTIC SONGS (Capitol). Corelli uses his miraculous equipment unstintingly. He never underestimates the power of a note, especially a high C that he can hold until even his listeners feel short of oxygen. His powerful dark tenor nearly steamrollers the modest little songs on this disk; few of them justify the fervor with which he belts them...
Shandre said she had given blood once, but had passed out. "I don't have enough oxygen in my blood, so my blood wouldn't be much good," she said...
...Despite the effortless maneuvering, Apollo's flight was not with out its niggling problems. An oxygen-flow warning light flashed on, but the astronauts quickly determined that a sensor, not the oxygen flow, was at fault Astronaut Cunningham, 36, a civilian physicist on his first flight, reported increasing pressure in a radiator that cools the spacecraft. The trouble was not serious enough to affect the mission. Astronaut Eisele, 38, an Air Force major also making his first space mission, reported radio interference that sounded like a commercial. "I', getting a hot tip on some hostpital-insurance plan from...
...Apollo 7 has a single outward-swinging hatch that can be opened in 10 sec. To snuff out any fire that might start, there is now an emergency venting system that can reduce cabin pressure in seconds. And while the spacecraft is on the pad, a mixture of 60% oxygen and 40% nitrogen has been substituted for the 100% oxygen of flight, further reducing the danger of fire...
...part in Bass's experiment. When they started, some of them found breathing so difficult that all physical activity was an arduous chore. But during the gradual exercise buildup, they all showed improvement. Their hearts now function more efficiently. Work has become easier, and their bodies require less oxygen for a given task, presumably because their lung tissue has been stimulated to greater efficiency. Bass does not recommend his treatment for all of the 400,000 Americans troubled by emphysema, many of whom have other serious disorders. His patients, however, have no such compunctions. Like 74-year-old Dudley...
