SURGEONS dream of the day when they will be able to replace any worn-out or damaged human organ with a spare part, either artificially made or taken from another person. That medical Utopia seems to be coming closer. Last week a little boy with a ruptured aorta was technically dead for 2¾ hours while surgeons put in a new bit of vital plumbing donated by a man recently dead. Another surgical feat, less dramatic but equally remarkable in its own way, was performed on a pretty teen-ager who, without knowing it, was becoming deformed by a curvature...
...Find Out. In 1925, planning to return for work at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, McElroy took a $100-a-month summer job with Procter & Gamble. Says he: "I was a mail boy. That's where they tell you to open and read everybody's mail. It's one way of finding out what's going on."

Hopwood, assistant public-relations director at Republic Steel Corp., found that his executive study days at Harvard helped him tremendously in his job, but he points out that some men run into trouble on campus: "For Mr. Big, pulling up stakes and becoming a college boy again was an experience to which some men couldn't adjust. There were lots of little complaints-false heart attacks, failing appetite-things like that. The night before we went home, all hell broke loose, and men 40 and 50 years old marched through the dorms yelling, singing, beating...
