...commonest method of treatment has been to tie off the aneurysm at its stem with a tiny silver clip, or close the artery with clips on each side of the stem. Dr. Gallagher was not satisfied with these methods because merely touching the aneurysm to attach a clip might cause it to burst with disastrous results. To destroy the aneurysm with no risk of bleeding, he wanted to clot all the blood inside it. To make the blood clot, he needed to get a foreign body into it-such as a hair. And to get the hair in without disturbing...

Sokolov knew perfectly well, since Foy David Kohler, 54, just named by President Kennedy to replace Llewellyn E. Thompson Jr. as Ambassador to the Soviet Union, has been at the center of East-West negotiations over Berlin-probably the knottiest, longest-standing tangle in the cold war.
