...week, with the disruption beyond his control, Ayub abruptly departed, turning over to the army the world's fifth most populous nation. His voice breaking with emotion, Ayub took to Radio Pakistan "for the last time" to explain why Pakistan had once again fallen under military rule. "I cannot," he declared in a phrase with Churchillian echoes, "preside over the destruction of my country...
...some blunt overseer's talking. He brought up a topic that embarrasses Britain and shocks nations who would otherwise be more sympathetic to Nigeria: the indiscriminate Nigerian bombing of Biafran hospitals, schools, markets and missions. Gowon insisted that this is not his policy but that he cannot always control his pilots. Neutral observers in Biafra have tallied 677 civilian dead and 1,313 wounded in 30 civilian strikes this year alone...
Responsive Enough. The transplanted heart has no connections with the brain, Cooley pointed out, and therefore cannot respond to nervous stimuli that, for example, make the normal heart beat faster when a person is excited. Yet although the transplanted heart is less sensitive, it is able to keep the recipient alive and is responsive enough to permit him a reasonable degree of activity. An artificial heart, Cooley suggested, need do no more. Artificial heart research, which will surely benefit from the knowledge gained by transplants, may in turn help to explain why the natural heart, with no connection...
...early artificial heart researcher, complained in Los Angeles that cardiologists are reluctant to try the devices "because anything artificial is looked upon with suspicion." He predicted that physicians would revise their thinking when they realize that the familiar heart drugs, in which they put great confidence today, cannot save patients whom an artificial heart might keep alive. But until man-made devices come along, Cooley intends to continue with transplants...
...Manhattan's Rockefeller University, researchers suggested that these figures are gross underestimates. New York City may have as many as 30,000 cases, and the total for the U.S. may run as high as 225,000. The fact is that no one really knows, and the experts cannot even agree as to the best way to find out. Nor can they tell yet how many of the lead-poisoned children will suffer permanent brain damage, or die in young adulthood from kidney damage...
