...Houston, a Mexican beautician named Mrs. Esperanza del Valle Vasquez, 37, was helped to survive ten crucial postoperative days by being hooked up to one of Dr. Michael DeBakey's plastic "half-hearts," developed at Baylor and Rice universities.

She hopes to learn English well enough to get a job as a secretary or a beautician. Paulette Prentice of Pittsburgh managed to finish high school but couldn't hold even menial jobs. "I'm not too smart," the 19-year-old Negro girl is smart enough to realize. "I want to learn data processing and accounting machines. This is pretty nice. I thought it would...
