Five operations in as many weeks trained world spotlights on the surgical feat of transplantation of the human heart. From the fact that this operation could be repeated so often and so soon after the historic first in Cape Town, with survivals up to 18 days, four conclusions emerged...

Shumway Jr., pioneering head of Stanford's cardiovascular unit, a fellow resident with Cape Town's Dr. Barnard at the University of Minnesota and the developer of the heart-transplant technique first used by Barnard. Shumway asked about a possible transplant. White talked it over with his children, Judith, 18, and Richard, 12. He also consulted Virginia's mother. They all said...
