Colonel Serraj was not to be disposed of so easily. Rallying his supporters, Serraj last week massed armored units outside Damascus, threatened to seize the capital and arrest his opponents. At this news President Kuwatly was afflicted with a malaise so severe that he felt obliged to take to bed. This left matters in the hands of General Nizam el Din, who hastily deployed his artillery commander to cover the approaches to Damascus, and warned that he would meet any further tank movements with shellfire...

An assistant dipped a glass-tipped rubber tube, attached to a vacuum pump, into the heart bed, drew out the spilled blood. With fine team coordination, Bailey made a small cut in the auricle wall; one assistant slid a plastic tube through it into the lower great vein, and another drew the purse string tight to check bleeding.
