Son of a laborer who had the same name, Ray dropped out of school in the 10th grade, spent two years in the Army, where he served a term for drunkenness and "breaking arrest," was discharged in 1948, and turned to civilian crime.

Long, Light Sleep. At London's Charing Cross Hospital, a team led by Dr. Peter Nixon relies on sleep to ease the coronary occlusion victim through the first dangerous days. Their reasoning: pain and fear may be important factors in throwing a weakened, damaged heart into fatal arrest. They give their patients two sedative drugs, promethazine and pethidine (a synthetic equivalent of morphine), to keep them in a light sleep for one to seven days; the average has been 2½ days. Nurses wake the patient three times a day for hygiene, to take liquid food...
