...Ripcord). He is the king of the "beasties"-outdoor adventure films starring big-name big game. This month, as part of a 14-picture pact with Paramount, Tors released Africa-Texas Style, a semidocumentary with Hugh O'Brian as a cowpoke who hunts big game with a rope instead of a rifle. Also planned or in production at Tors's studios and animal compounds, scattered from North Miami and Saugus, Calif., to Nairobi and the Bahamas' Lyford Cay, are such offbeat features as Hello Down There, a futuristic comedy about a family living in a deep...

...Tails. X-ray studies reveal natural collagen as three strands of molecules twisted together like rope. The strands are short, and many have to be joined end to end to make up the body's long collagen fibers.

And Dr. Marton thinks his brainchild might make a big public impact from whence it sprang-as a toy. Flung out loose and then frozen, it makes a marvelously accurate lasso as well as tripper-upper and grabber-onto of things it wraps around. His two children have already demolished two of his homemade versions...
