...that war, in the East Room of the White House, Johnson broke completely with his usual press-conference choreography. Thanks to a lavalier microphone, he was able to leave the lectern and prowl back and forth on a makeshift stage-all the while chopping the air, clutching his breast, slapping, clenching and conjoining his big hands to pound home his points, toying with his glasses and abandoning his previous deadpan, Sunday-sermon visage for a range of grins and grimaces, smiles and scowls worthy of a Method actor. All the while, an Army Signal Corpsman crouched unseen behind the lectern...
Toronto's controversial Dr. Gordon Murray performed the first blue-baby operations and kidney transplants in Canada and says he built the first workable artificial kidney in North America. At one time, Dr. Murray claimed to have a serum that alleviated the suffering of breast-cancer victims, although its effectiveness was never proved. Last week, at 73, Dr. Murray reported that he had accomplished a feat that has eluded specialists in neurosurgery. He has, he said, successfully rejoined severed spinal cords in four of seven paralyzed patients...

As the strains of God Bless America and Hari...
...bear grease. When the Channel Swimming Association frosted the idea, Linda added a red one-piecer to her attire and plunged in. She lost her goggles three-quarters of the way to England, then stumbled on the rocks at the finish and badly gashed herself above the left breast. But her time of 9 hr. 59 min. broke the women's record by 25 min. (and was 4 hr. 32 min. faster than Gertrude Ederle's unprecedented swim in 1926), and she missed the men's mark by only...
