...letter to the National Heart Institute, Baylor's Leonard F. McCollum said that the heart device had been developed under a grant from NHI, and was therefore subject to federal guidelines governing experimental application to human subjects. McCollum informed the institute that Dr. Domingo Liotta, the Argentine-born researcher who worked on the device, "has been suspended from all activities in the artificial-heart program at Baylor." Cooley himself, said an NHI spokesman, was not subject to the federal guidelines because he had no grant from the institute. Thus, any disciplinary action against him would be up to Baylor...
Virtually every U.S. infant born under a doctor's care gets three shots, spaced a month apart, of a three-way vaccine against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus, or "lockjaw." Most children receive a booster shot a year later. Many get additional tetanus toxoid boosters in school or college-and, of course, in the armed forces...
...Miguel Berrocal is, at 36, the latest in a long and rather glorious tradition of Spanish grandees in the arts.

There, the couple entertains some of the top sculptors of Europe, who seek out Berrocal's foundry...
...Mini-Multiple. Born into a comfortable bourgeois family in Malaga, Berrocal studied architecture and mathematics before setting off for Rome and art studies in 1952. After a spell in Paris, he wound up in Verona because of the excellent foundry that was there. He is presently obsessed with the idea of spreading his art around the world. "A Berrocal in every house and a Berrocal in every pocket," is his slogan. To implement it, he conceived of something he calls the "mini-multiple" -reproductions that are identical with his expensive cast bronzes except for size and material...
Calkins, the symbolic outsider from the Mid-West, was named a Fellow because the Corporation wanted to change its image. But he is a thoroughly Eastern product--born in Newton, prepped at Exeter, degrees from the College and Law School--and he admits that he was groomed for service to Harvard by a friend on the Corporation and was the logical choice when a vacancy occurred because the friend died...
