...recipient was Truck Driver Clovis Roblain, 66, forced to retire last July by progressive heart failure and a crippling heart attack. Chief surgeon was Dr. Christian Cabrol, 42, on the faculty of the University of Paris since age 26, and a specialist in artificial-heart research. An hour after the operation, Roblain's blood pressure dived to near zero. Emergency measures restored it to near normal, but Roblain remained in a coma until his death 51 hours after the operation. The autopsy showed that many formerly immobile blood clots, set free by the unwontedly strong pumping action...
...Turboprops. "A magnificent landscape; but one looks at it with a sinking of the heart; there is something profoundly horrifying in this immense, indefinite not-thereness of the Mexican scene," Aldous Huxley wrote in the days when tourists traveled on bumpy roads across the sere, dusty landscape. The jet age has gone far to remove the boredom that made one Texas lady remark: "It's what's between the high spots that depresses me so." Today, there are eleven daily direct jet flights into Mexico City from...
Streamlined it isn't. "It looks," observed the London Daily Sketch, "like a motorized greenhouse without the tomatoes." But never mind. The Cubicar, an almost perfectly cubic car manufactured by Britain's Universal Power Drives Ltd., could well become the commuter car of the future. In the age of the traffic jam, when both road space and parking space are at a premium, the 6-ft.-4-in.-long Cubicar is a fascinating concept. With a top speed of 55 m.p.h., it gets about 24 miles to the gallon. It can seat five adults in comfort...
...deep shaft last month, the scientists found two additional major skull fragments, finger and wrist bones, rib fragments, an eye socket and what is probably a leg bone, enabling them to confirm that the early human was similar to modern man and had died around the age...
Time Is Running Out. To determine the age of the fossilized "Marmes man" (named after the rancher who owns the site), the W.S.U. scientists radiocarbon-dated mollusk shells lying in a stratum above the bone remnants and decided that they were nearly 11,000 years old. Thus, they reasoned, the bones lying in the stratum below must be between 11,000 and 13,000 years old. This gives Marmes man paleontologic seniority over such previously discovered Western Hemisphere relics as "Minnesota Minnie," the Midland (Texas) man and the Tepexpan (Mexico) man, all estimated to be some 10,000 years...
