Died. William Bennett Kouwenhoven, 89, innovative electrical and bio-medical engineer who developed lifesaving heart resuscitation techniques; in Baltimore. Kouwenhoven, who served more than 60 years on the Johns Hopkins faculty, discovered in the 1930s that a brief jolt of electricity applied to a fibrillating heart muscle could restore the organ to a steady pace. While working on a portable defibrillator for use without surgery, Kouwenhoven also found that a stopped heart could often be restarted by brisk, repeated pressure on the breastbone. External cardiac massage has since been used by laymen and physicians to save countless lives...
...Hotchner's play attempted to string together several Hemingway short stories to dramatize the life of the Nobel prize winning author. Despite the help of Rod Steiger in the lead role, the play did not succeed and Hunter came away from the performance feeling the fault was in the "bio play" format of the work. Hunter explains. "Such plays follow the chronology line of a person's life and present the essence of the main character as his of her reaction to a succession of events." For Hunter this format was limiting...
...brothers work at Great Atlantic Fish Co. and come to talk to him when he brings in the day's catch in the afternoon. Joe graduated from Harvard, class of '73, and started right on fishing with Louis, who used to take out sections of Nat. Sci. 27 and Bio. 122--Professor Fell's Marine Biology, courses--on field trips. Joe had planned to go to graduate school in Marine Biology, but by his Sophomore year realized that the academic life was not for him. At least not for now. He'll fish until the industry dies out--within...
Gilbert said that the plan, which would expand the range of possible research at Harvard, would convert an area of approximately 1000 square feet in the bio labs into a restricted access area with a separate air supply for research involving potentially hazardous substances...
Actually it has mattered from the very beginning. Harvard never was a mystery to me. I have lived and breathed Harvard ever since I was six (we get our heat from the Bio Lab). As a freshman I knew that Vis. Stud. was a department and not a feminist porno magazine. The names, the buildings, the people, the places, the ins and the outs so confusing to newcomers were not only familiar to me but were part of me. I did not have a problem adjusting. Of course I lost a lot of the excitement of going away to college...
