TODAY'S ASTROLOGY PUZZLE: What sign is David Blaine? 
Dr. Alexander E. Kuehl, an expert in emergency medicine and the director of public health in St. Lawrence County, N.Y., said that 44 days was close to the limit that a human body could last on only water. (David Blaine's experiment in a plexiglass thing over the Thames.) The idea also seems to come from a personal obsession with human endurance and the Holocaust. Mr. Blaine, who is Jewish, keeps dozens of copies of Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz" in his apartment, along with books on Einstein, magic and logic puzzles. His walls are filled with pictures of other magicians and celebrities (the Clintons, Orson Welles), and a giant poster of Houdini is affixed to his office ceiling.
