Last week the wait ended as Stevie, clad in Lone Ranger rig, welcomed critics and reporters to North Brookfield, Mass., for a preview of Songs in the Key of Life. The record just might earn a silver bullet on the charts. Even before public release this week, more than 1 million copies of Songs have been sold...

From the start, Chief Surgeon Joseph Wilder's special team-nine surgeons, three anesthetists and six nurses-realized that the abdominal wound was the worst; the removal of another bullet lodged in Rojas's temple could wait. Deftly cutting away, Surgeon Mulji Pauwaa removed the ruptured spleen. Then, after locating the bullet-which somehow had twisted around-he removed it, thereby restoring the leg's blood supply.
