DeBakey, 60, a pioneering open-heart surgeon, is president of the Baylor University College of Medicine; Cooley, 49, is a member of the faculty. The two Texans have scrupulously avoided public battles, but their subordinates have been less inhibited. Those loyal to DeBakey, for example, have fostered the impression that Cooley has performed some of his 20 heart transplants prematurely. Cooley's lieutenants, on the other hand, dismiss this as professional jealousy; they point out that Cooley performed his first transplant three months before DeBakey did. DeBakey's associates also expressed concern about the purely experimental status...

Source of Power. Standing by was Argentine-born Dr. Domingo Liotta of the Baylor College of Medicine, who has worked on artificial hearts for ten years. He now had ready a device that might keep Karp alive for a week or two. It is about the same size as a natural heart and is made of Silastic (a silicone plastic), with Dacron cuffs for attachment to the "distributor cap," or blood-vessel connections, in the remnant of Karp's own heart. It is self-contained except for one essential ingredient: a power system to deliver a steady, pumping beat...

...library and a dormitory. Virginia's Baptist leaders decided to let the trustees of individual institutions determine whether or not to take Government grants. At Fort Worth, delegates to the Baptist General Convention of Texas voted 2,960 to 40 to cut its official ties with the Baylor University College of Medicine in Houston. The purpose was to let the school-which has Heart Surgeon Michael De-Bakey on its faculty-receive state and federal grants in order to double its enrollment. Henceforth, the institution will be administered by a nondenominational, nonprofit corporation...

...almost matches his fervent faith in Jesus. The title of the sermon with which he kicked off this year's budget drive was called "God's Business Is Big Business." A spellbinding orator, Criswell was chosen by First Baptist in rather an odd way. A graduate of Baylor University, he happened to be preaching in a small Kentucky backwoods church one Sunday in 1934 when a prominent Baptist layman from Nashville, John L. Hill, was present. Hill never forgot the sermon. After the death in 1944 of First Baptist's best-known preacher, Dr. George W. Truett...

...partner, so he traded Wilt to the Los Angeles Lakers, whose owner Jack Kent Cooke did not need a partner either. What Cooke needs is an N.B.A. Championship, so he offered Wilt a five-year contract totaling an estimated $1,500,000. Cooke now owns three superstars: Elgin Baylor, Jerry West and Chamberlain, and the problem may be to get three balls into the game so they can all shoot at once...
