...this, the team at Brooklyn's Maimonides Medical Center, headed by Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz, admitted "unequivocal failure." Their patient, a 19-day-old boy, died 6½ hours after he received a new heart. But the team of Dr. Christiaan Neethling Barnard, 44, which acted first at Cape Town, South Africa, had a more enduring success. Their patient, a 55-year-old man, was feeding himself and making small talk a week after his epochal surgery. At this time, as expected, there appeared the first signs of a tendency by his body to reject the transplant, but the doctors...
Double Chill. While South Africa was proudly rejoicing, the U.S. transplant team was just beginning.

Doar will become president of an ambitious self-help project supported jointly by Government and private funds in Brooklyn's crime-ridden, abjectly poor Bedford-Stuyvesant section. His replacement at the Civil Rights Division will be Stephen J. Pollak, 39, a Dartmouth-and Yale-educated Chicagoan who has served as an assistant to the Solicitor General, legal counsel to the President's task force on the war against poverty...
