Orioles as First Baseman Boog Powell ("His fastball starts at the knees, takes off and goes by you chest-high"), Rightfielder Frank Robinson ("It tails away from you and sometimes it doesn't"), Third Baseman Brooks Robinson ("It's in and out, up and down") and Outfielder Merv Rettenmund ("It's straight but hard"). What Blue's victims do agree on is that five feet or so from the plate his fastball picks up speed and "pops" or "explodes" past them...
...more than a decade to develop an implantable artificial heart. Last week, Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz, the surgical pioneer who performed the first heart transplant in the U.S., moved the effort a significant step forward. In Detroit's Sinai Hospital, he put an artificial heart booster into the chest of Haskell Shanks, 63, whose heart was so weakened that it could not pump enough oxygenated blood to his body...
...Technique. A fatal mugging provided one. Jackson Gunya, 28, died after neurosurgeons found his brain injury irreparable. Barnard was ready for the six-hour operation that centered on a new technique. First, Herbert's chest was opened, he was put on the heart-lung machine, and his heart was removed -all but part of the left auricle (upper chamber).

Then the surgeon closed off the stumps of the pulmonary veins attached to the left auricle...
Hassan was pulled to safety by aides. But the guests, many of whom thought that the shooting was part of the king's birthday fireworks, became ducks in a palatial gallery when loyal troops started firing back.

At least 100 people were wounded including Saudi Arabian Ambassador Fakhri el Adhr and the King's brother, Prince Moulay Abdullah. Hundreds who had expected a pleasant summer...
Rocky, a dark bay with an insignificant little head, a tiny, battle-scarred chest, concave flanks and protruding ribs, was caught on Easter Sunday and has been confined ever since on the outskirts of Reno in a small pen with heavy timbered fences eight feet high. At the approach of humans. Rocky races down to the other end of the pen, perks his ears, then lays them back and gallops in mad circles. Only the pen is too small, the turning angle too sharp, and Rocky keeps falling on his side. "Ain't he sorry?" laughs Mustanger Bill Victor...
