"Your jacket seems to have picked up a glow from your ruby necklace," Laddie remarked brightly to his wife at Palm Beach's Poinciana Playhouse, whereupon he learned that his wife's genuinely rosy wrap was the harbinger of a new fad for pink mink. The skins of the specially mutated minks cost quite a mite ($400 per pelt, and a coat takes 60 pelts), which the average married Homo sapiens may find rather a high level of evolutionary development...

To seal or prevent a rupture, he sprays the artery with a plastic mixture which gives it a dry, thin coating like Saran wrap. Then Dr. Selverstone sprays on a second coat, using a new, quick-setting epoxy resin. The double coat has the desired toughness. And more than 100 patients are living with blowout patches in their brains...
