...week a little boy with a ruptured aorta was technically dead for 2¾ hours while surgeons put in a new bit of vital plumbing donated by a man recently dead. Another surgical feat, less dramatic but equally remarkable in its own way, was performed on a pretty teen-ager who, without knowing it, was becoming deformed by a curvature of the spine.

Last week Idlewild got a sparkling array of new buildings eminently befitting its position as the aerial gateway to the U.S. While 2,000 guests looked on, New York's Governor Harriman, New Jersey's Governor Meyner and Mayor Wagner of New York City formally dedicated a $30 million, half-mile...
