What does Captain Eo, a.k.a. Michael Jackson, do to relax after a hard day of defending the galaxy? Why, he just pops into his custom-made $125,000 hyperbaric chamber, of course. Jackson's spaced-out method of getting his beauty rest came to light in a photograph of the Gloved One looking like the star of a B-grade sci-fi flick.

...method, which like radiology was developed around the turn of the century, is simple: food passes through a lead-shielded concrete chamber where radioactive cobalt 60 or cesium 137 bombards it with gamma rays, killing insects and bacteria and sometimes slowing ripening.

"It's like comparing bananas to tigers." Treated food "can be immediately eaten," says George Giddings, director of food irradiation at Isomedix...

The cops wear black trench coats and fedoras and wield their pistols with one hand, cowboy-style, rather than by Hill Street's two-handed method. The Mob characters seem to predate The Godfather, and nobody has heard of drugs. Most of the crimes are, quaintly, jewelry heists...
