From the tone of the copy turned in by our domestic correspondents for last week's zoo cover story, it seems safe to say that they had the time of their lives on this hot weather assignment. As one correspondent put it: "It was really refreshing to cover a story like this. No speeches; no fussing with the technicalities of chain reaction; no political talk about Russia or Harry Truman or John Bricker. Just people looking at animals and birds, and vice versa...
...whizzed by Larky Day, who had set a track record at Atlantic City a week before, then set sail for the pace-setting Windfields. Assault swept by Windfields too, and turned into the stretch. Just to be safe, for six-year-old Stymie was beginning to move up, Arcaro stung Assault's hide once with the whip. Then, looking over his shoulder, Arcaro saw that there was nothing to worry about and eased up to win, three lengths ahead of gallant old Stymie.

Nervous Knockout. Deep-sea divers generally have been fed pure oxygen and helium, pumped to a pressure matching the depth of their dive. Divers sometimes unaccountably passed out during relatively shallow dives (up to four atmospheres of pressure used to be considered safe). The British study, involving some 2,000 tests, proved that oxygen, forced into the tissues under pressure, somehow intoxicates the central nervous system and poisons the brain cortex. (Whales, biologists have observed, bypass the whole oxygen problem by collapsing their lungs during deep dives...
...only safe hours to hit the Keith Memorial Theater these days.

...Young first falls for Jane Greer, but abjectly drops her when his rich wife (Rita Johnson) yanks at the leash. She yanks him from Manhattan to Los Angeles and he tries to play safe in the new job she buys him. Unfortunately, Susan Hayward glides out of a filing cabinet, and in no time at all he is a dishonest man again. Again his wife calls him to heel; this time they move to a ranch. There isn't even a telephone and Mr. Young can't stand it. Because of his complicated efforts to run away...
