...likely to succeed before the artificial heart is perfected, according to DeBakey. The first heart transplanted into a human being was a chimpanzee's in 1964, and it failed. This year, a sheep's heart also failed. The great apes are too scarce, and too reluctant to breed in captivity to be a source of supply. Before animals' hearts can escape rejection, researchers will have to outwit the genetic code and raise special breeds-a matter of years...
...change, no matter how much you condition them. This kind of rigid social determinism is discredited by the empirical truth that the institutions of the Soviet Union have largely been changed but its people seem just as avaricious as any in the world. The two developments are linked. Capitalism breeds a capitalist mentality but its grip is not unshakable. A man can, of his own free will, renounce his old mentality for a new one. Radicalism will breed just as fragile a radical mentality. The choice belongs to, and remains with, each...

The psychiatrists urged that Presidents and presidential candidates be prohibited by law from "close contact" with crowds when a visit has been announced in advance. That is particularly urgent, they suggested, because assassinations themselves breed violent reactions in disturbed people, making other assassinations more likely...

The trip to the whaling grounds took a tedious four weeks. The seas were awesome and the food terrible. Even seasoned sailors were sick much of the time. Once the hunt began, they had to face not only danger from harpooned whales but also the nauseating stench of whale processing. The returns, though, made it all worthwhile. In a good year, Sandefjord's seamen earned more in six months than a landlubber could...
...stubborn Democratic battle that Humphrey watched in a 14th-floor hotel suite was in no small measure a tribute to his rare amalgam of warmth, courage, do-gooding liberalism and practical politics. "Hubert is not a gut fighter," Lyndon Johnson, an expert judge of the breed, carped in 1960. Yet Humphrey could hit hard and often-as he did in the closing weeks of the 1968 campaign. Despite his revilement by dis. sident Democrats, there is no reason why Humphrey should not remain a major figure in the Democratic Party. Still, his defeat marks an exit-the exit...
