...stepping up the hunt for a better way. One of these is Surgeon-Immunologist Felix Rapaport of the New York University Medical Center, who became the Transplantation Society's new president-elect last week. Prior to implanting new kidneys in beagles, he has been removing some of their bone marrow-the site, along with the lymph nodes, of white-blood-cell production-and irradiating the dogs. The X rays destroy the ability of the remaining bone marrow and lymphoid tissue to produce white blood cells. Then he reinjects the marrow cells, thus restoring the animal's immune system...
...statesman of his stature. Besides, he doubts Ford-Dole can win. Still, Connally will visit nearly 100 congressional districts in 72 days to stump for candidates for Governor and Congress. The same tactic was used successfully in the 1966 election by Richard Nixon, who rose from the bone yard by crisscrossing the country to speak for candidates and build up political credits. Connally's wheeler-dealer image and milk-fund taint, which did much to frustrate his vice-presidential hopes, may well block his presidential ambitions in 1980. But Big John is so tough, resilient and resourceful that...
...fact, Reagan's choice makes a good deal of political sense. The Republicans must concede the South and probably most of the border states to Carter--his natural appeal there is too strong to be overcome by a bone like Howard Baker. Reagan has a natural political base in the West and for the rest of his electoral votes, he would have to count on huge majorities in ethnic centers in the industrial North--states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio. And on the important "social" issues which might appeal to that constituency--amnesty, abortion, busing, prayer in the schools...
Wolfe is also convinced, as every right-wing commentator on the Left has been since about 1920, that some recent event has uttcrly discredited socialism. So he picks out the Solzhenitsyn and related cases as evidence that socialism itself, and not Stalinism, created the world's "bone heap... grisly beyond belief." He catalogues the Western literary community's boycott of Solzhenitsyn and seems to be aghast at the idea that lifelong leftists would not collapse like toy boats at the salvos of Solzhenitsyn, a Russian Orthodox dogmatic and rightist. What mindlessness. I guess Wolfe called the piece "The Intelligent...
According to Kirchner, to really perform well, the very best must work very hard--"to the bone, to the point of almost suicide." The Chamber Players live and breathe music about 10 to 12 hours a day, split between rehearsal and practice time. In general, one "elder" plays in each ensemble to provide musical guidance for the younger musicians, but Kirchner stresses that young and old interact with "real equality" throughout the intensive program. "We criticize each other," he says. "It's part of growing up in music...
