...90th birthday was the best of all. Two weeks earlier, Princess Julia Dent Grant Cantacuzene had awakened in her Washington apartment and suddenly seen the canopy on her bed, her chest of drawers, the pictures on the wall and the sunlight through the window-for the first time in ten years. The granddaughter of Ulysses S. Grant and former wife of the late Russian Prince Michael Can tacuzene, the princess had somewhat mysteriously regained, at least partially, the sight she lost after an automobile accident. Her doctor offered no explanation, but asked her: "Do you believe in miracles?" "Indeed...

Without surgery, he recovered enough to fight in France and win a Silver Star. Now he works full time as a house...
Pendulum Swing. The most remarkable case is that of a soldier who was 28 when he took a bullet in the heart at Bastogne. Two quarts of blood had to be drawn from his punctured chest, and not surprisingly, he has had his share of lung trouble. But after more than 20 years, his ECG is normal, although X rays show the bullet still firmly lodged in the back wall of his left ventricle. There it swings, pendulum fashion, with each heartbeat. Though the veteran sometimes suffers from short ness of breath and dizziness, his main trouble is anxiety...
