BARBRA STREISAND: MY NAME IS BARBRA (Columbia). On that enchanted evening long ago when she first captured an audience with Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?, a little bit of Barbra stayed right there. Many of these songs from her smash TV special are about childhood, and she is at once sophisticated and ingenuous, smart-alecky and enraptured...
...circle widened far in 1952. Harry Truman had decided not to run again, and the winner of most Democratic presidential preference primaries was Tennessee's Senator Estes Kefauver, a lone-wolf liberal who was unacceptable to most national party leaders. Casting desperately around for someone else, they were drawn to the able, attractive Governor of Illinois. Stevenson was genuinely reluctant; the night before the national convention in Chicago, he sat up until 2 a.m. in Cook County Boss Jake Arvey's kitchen, suggesting alternative names and insisting that he wanted only to run for re-election as Governor...
...million worth of art, from an 11.80-carat unset emerald ($65,800) to the bugle that blew the charge of the Light Brigade ($4,480).

Concentrates the Blood. University of Oklahoma's Professor of Medicine Stewart Wolf, who was working on heart disease, and seven physicians (six Americans, one Malaysian) working on hyaline membrane disease at Singapore's Kandang Kerbau Hospital, all found themselves reaching back to studies of ducks and seals-experiments that were in some cases nearly a century old. When those aquatic creatures swim below the surface, a "dive" reflex slows their heartbeats and contracts their peripheral arteries, thus concentrating the available oxygenated blood in the heart and brain. Most of the body's tissues then switch from...
...Wolf wondered how strong this reflex was in man, and whether it might sometimes go too far. Instead of the heart simply slowing down, Dr. Wolf asked himself, might it not actually stop? To check his reasoning, he talked his wife and three children into joining other volunteers in repeatedly dunking their faces in a wash basin while he took their electrocardiograms. Their heart rates promptly slowed down. One of Wolfs most important findings was that fear intensified the reflex. If a man feels severe pain and suspects he is having a heart attack, Wolf concluded, he may panic, thus...
