Appropriately, it was on Veterans Day last November that Dr. Montgomery and Navy Surgeon Robert Toohill embarked upon the first stage of restoring his speech. To make sure that Lopata's reconstructed windpipe would not let food into his lungs, they built an artificial valve just below the base of his tongue (see diagram) by cutting into his throat and turning two flaps of skin inward. Lopata had been breathing for a month through a hole lower down in his neck. The surgeons fitted this hole with a tube through which he could breathe, and made another opening above...
...authors base their psychoanalysis on the premise that "Tommy Wilson's father was the great love object" of his life. A spellbinding Presbyterian minister who led family-prayer sessions five times a day, the Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson came to assume the dimensions of deity in the eyes of his worshipful first son.

A large number of students will then be drafted to create the technical support base such an army will need. These people will not need very much training at all-not a fraction of what the I-Y's would need to become technicians themselves.

Indonesia's new leaders hope that Supardjo's testimony will link Sukarno to the coup leaders...
...Kinsellas, whose family troubles are at the base of the book, are not, however, the Kennedys-in-caricature. The Kinsellas resemble the Kennedys only as much as they resemble any one of the important Irish political families of Massachusetts such as the McCormacks, the Tobins, the McDonoughs, the Buckleys, the Harringtons, or the Sullivans...
