Color in Papers? U.S. papers have deteriorated in appearance as well as content, says Seltzer. Too many meet the problem of higher newsprint costs by "cutting out white space, narrowing column rules, shortening lines of type, crowding another column to a page, [resorting to] one or more of a dozen devices to make the paper look worse, which in turn make it harder to read and make the reader mad enough to turn his attention to television or a typographically attractive magazine . . . Nine out of ten papers are crowded, lack eye-appeal, crowd too much in too little . . . What...
...proved possible to keep the hot gas out of contact with the walls of the tube for more than a fraction of a second. "The success of further work in this direction," he said, "will greatly depend on the possibility of creating conditions under which the plasma [ionized gas] column will experience multiple oscillations during the buildup of the current without coming in contact with the walls. However, there are serious reasons to believe that this cannot be achieved...
Instead of the Kolff lung, the Houston team used a bubble oxygenator, which pumps oxygen into a column of blood withdrawn from the body. (The methods of taking the blood in and out of the body, and pumping it, are similar in the two techniques.)

With the heart still beating, but relatively free of blood so that he could see what he was doing, Dr. Cooley took a piece...

Imprisoned, Courbet later went into exile in Switzerland, after the French government had sent him a bill for restoring the column and confiscated his property. Plagued by money worries and by waning powers, he stepped up his daily wine ration to ten quarts, rapidly went into...
...Nickie watch the hidden land mines of life blowing up all around them. Having told himself, "I must under no condition marry this girl," Chick does marry his beautiful but dumb childhood sweetheart, Crystal. What is more, babies follow. Chick's father-in-law, who runs the advice column for the local paper, gets him a job writing Pepigrams ("All work and no play make Jack"). And then the old boy dies "on third" of a heart attack during a charity softball game, and Chick inherits the advice column...
