So here in the October issue of "Discover" Magazine we have an excerpt from James Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger, _Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13_ (Houghton Mifflin, in press). 

     Stories about poison pills always made Jim
     Lovell laugh...The command module had a crank
     for the cabin vent, after all...Whatever air
     was left in your lungs would explode out in
     an angry rush, your blood would quickly -- 
     and literally -- boil, and your traumatized
     system would literally shut up shop.  The
     whole thing would be over in just a few seconds.
