...blood clot in midbrain. Since no conventional operation is possible, the high command approves a daring plan: a miniaturized submarine with a crew of shrunken specialists (led by Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch) is injected into the carotid artery by hypodermic needle, with orders to navigate the bloodstream to the stricken area, where a surgeon (Arthur Kennedy) will excise the clot with an itsy-bitsy laser...
Such Eyes! There is only one flaw in Raquel's career so far: no one has seen her movies.

As a rule, few people die of the disease if they are properly treated, but in Marguerite Higgins' case, the doctors were unable to arrest it. Last week, at 45, she died...
