...approach varies little, for it needs no improvement. Later, getting a clear fix on Natalie's decolletage, he makes a pass in the offhand manner of a man who takes his love the way most people take after-dinner mints. But Actress Wood matches McQueen quip for quip, twitch for twitch, shrug for shrug, smile for winning smile. Both coruscate with the sparkly stuff of which movie stars are made, and their final clinch in front of Macy's Herald Square, proves again that after all is seen and done Hollywood still produces the best brand...

Fortunately, the twitch in the head-dropped position gave him an idea. By chance, the examining table had a tilting mechanism. The doctor propped up the diver's head until his chin rested on his chest-the same position that had produced the hopeful twitch. Then he spun the control wheel until the head end of the table had dropped about 15 degrees. As fast as he could, he spun the wheel again until...
