...fight the freeze in court. They concluded that there was almost no way to do so, but the meeting drew crowds of newsmen?and headlines in the little cold war. Afterward, a staffer in the office of Charles Colson, a presidential counsel, put in a telephone call to U.S. Chamber of Commerce Executive Arch Booth. He suggested that the chamber, in the interests of more efficient contract negotiations, call for the retirement of labor leaders over the age of 70.

...just that. A regulator unit connected to the heart muscle by wires kept the external pump in phase with the internal organ. As the heart's left ventricle, or major pumping chamber, contracted to force blood through the aorta, the external pump sucked air out of the outer tube, creating negative pressure that helped pull the blood out of the ventricle. Then, as the ventricle relaxed, the pump forced air back into the outer tube, increasing the pressure on the inner passage and forcing the blood through the aorta to the body...

Next, Barnard removed each lung, leaving most of the patient's bronchi (the two main branches from the windpipe). These were clamped. Then the surgeon closed off the stumps of the pulmonary veins attached to the left auricle and sewed up the auricle. He could have taken these...
...last he was ready to install the transplant. It had been tailored to fit, with the bronchi cut short. These were stitched to Herbert's bronchi. The venae cavae, the great veins that return blood to the heart's upper right chamber, were connected, as in an ordinary heart transplant. In like fashion, the aorta was hooked up. It all went "without a hitch," said Barnard...
