President Ford has not yet caught himself saying to his Vice President, "Short on the back and sides, please, and easy on the bear's grease." And White House Barber Milton Pitts has not yet greeted his customer with "Hiya, fella!" Both could happen though. Pitts is a dead ringer for Nelson Rockefeller, who recently paid a visit to Pitts' shop to exchange pleasantries. "He looks exactly like me but he's better looking," agreed Rocky. Milton concentrated on planning a different crown for his potential new customer. "He needs to have completely different shaping...
Doctors all too often perform open-heart surgery that is technically perfect only to have the patient die soon after the operation, because his previously weakened heart cannot bear the added burden of surgical shock. To ease the load on ailing hearts, doctors have for several years used implantable balloon pumps (TIME, Aug. 23, 1971) and other devices that are designed to be removed surgically after recovery. A system developed at Manhattan's Mount Sinai Medical Center carries this heart-assist technology a significant step forward. Their pump not only provides a postoperative boost but can be connected again...

None of the other 24 patients, who were sore-free but considered sore-prone, developed decubitus ulcers after being on the waterbeds for an average of 27.5 days. The reason is simple. On a conventional mattress, a few pressure points bear most of the patient's weight; the pressure causes closing of capillaries, killing cells and resulting in sores at these points. On a water mattress, weight is evenly distributed, and no part of the body is subject to excess pressure...

The 7,500 participants and spectators jammed the town's five motels and four restaurants. At Zup's Market the run on dog food was so fierce that supplies quickly gave out. Mayor Jack Grahek, himself a Husky fancier, opened up his own stockpile to ensure that none of the 2,500 canine guests would go hungry...
...punching through 700 for the first time in five months to a week's close at 703.69. That was an impressive 22% above the dismal twelve-year low of 577.6 that the Dow reached early in December, and it stirred some hopes that the big bad bear market that began with the oil embargo of October 1973 might at last be over...
