...walked down the trail, and immediately saw bodies," he recalls. "Suddenly, the reality of war was driven home." Less than a year later, while trying to lead a company of reluctant Vietnamese soldiers up a hill near Con Thien, he was struck in the chest by a Viet Cong bullet that severed his spine...
Other gene splicers have accomplished variations of the same feat, but the Genentech-Agriculture Department team says that its production levels are a thousand times as high per bacterium as anything that has been done before. The scientists acknowledge that their vaccine is not a magic bullet against all seven major strains of foot-and-mouth disease.Each has a slightly different protein coat, and each will require a different vaccine. But they are optimistic that the critical proteins can be isolated and then reproduced through gene splicing. If so, in a few years effective new vaccines easily produced in large...
...were clear signs last week that Pope John Paul II was on his way to recovery-and, as usual with any job he tackled, doing it robustly. Doctors at Rome's Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic removed the 26 stitches they had inserted after a would-be assassin's bullet ripped through the Pope's abdomen on May 13. The Pontiff received visitors, made brief voyages to a nearby armchair and walked in the corridor outside the tenth-floor four-room suite, where he had been moved from the hospital's intensive-care unit...
Back in St. Peter's Square, pandemonium reigned. As the Pope collapsed, two women who had been standing near his car also fell, hit by bullets intended for John Paul. They were rushed to Holy Spirit Hospital. Both were Americans. Rose Hall, 21, originally from Shirley, Mass., and now married to a Protestant missionary posted in Würzburg, West Germany, had her left arm broken by a slug. Ann Odre, 58, a widow from Buffalo and a devout Catholic who had just realized her longtime dream of seeing the Pope, was hit by a bullet that lodged...
After opening the abdominal cavity with an incision of about six to eight inches, the doctors made a careful inspection to see if the twisting bullet had damaged any major blood vessels or organs. There was special concern that it might have hit the pancreas, which produces digestive enzymes that can dissolve tissue and, if they leak out, cause severe inflammation. Fortunately that vital organ escaped damage. Then the doctors ran their gloved hands along the entire 20-ft. length of the small intestine and the 5 ft. of large intestine. Typically this inch-by-inch examination is repeated...
