...Hearts, Thomas Thompson tells the story of these two master surgeons, concentrating on their unsuccessful but dramatic experiments with the heart transplant, an operation first executed by South Africa's Dr. Christiaan Barnard. Thompson, a Texan and a staff writer for LIFE, spent several months in Houston last year after the transplant frenzy had subsided. He made rounds with DeBakey, Cooley and their entourages, donned surgical green to watch operations, and talked with dozens of doctors and patients. He has put together a somewhat disjointed but compelling account of a rarefied sphere in the world of medicine...
COLUMBIA--Lafayette--Ranked in the top ten worst teams in the nation for the past few years, the Lions are about to become as big a collegiate football powerhouse as crosstown rivals NYU, CCNY, and Barnard. The Lions won three games last fall for their best record in eight years, and the sophomore passing combination of Don Jackson and Jesse Parks returns intact and wiser. Playing away from the lopsided Baker Bowl, Parks will not have to run uphill one half of the game, and Columbia will run away...

Neither of the two previous patients to undergo heart-lung transplants lived for more than a few days after their operations. Still, South Africa's Dr. Christiaan Barnard had no hesitation about attempting the surgical spectacular last month. His patient, Adrian Herbert, 49, was near death from emphysema, and Barnard felt that the operation offered the only chance for survival (TIME, Aug. 9). Last week, 23 days after the operation, Herbert died at Cape Town's Groote Schuur Hospital...
...Barnard's South African colleagues lost no time in criticizing him for even attempting the procedure. One, quoted in the influential Afrikaans newspaper Die Burger, implied that Barnard had engaged in outright experimentation; another argued that the operation had offered Herbert no real hope for a return to normality and should not have been performed at all. Some, however, withheld comment pending the release of more details, including the precise cause of death. The wait may be a long one. Barnard has refused to discuss the case until after the publication of an article in the South African Medical...
