Floyd McKissick, the new national director of CORE, stretched out on the bed in his room in Washington's Sheraton-Park Hotel one evening last week and languidly shut his eyes-as if bored beyond all tolerance with the two white men earnestly pleading before...
...argued Baltimore's Republican Mayor Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, stretching his arms out emotionally, "I've been fighting for the same thing CORE wants since 1927. I've sent open-occupancy legislation to our city council three times, and three times the Democrats have killed it. There are many things that need to be changed in our city, and you can help us. You can help me." Taut, trim Major General George Gelston, Baltimore's acting police commissioner, added his voice: "Look, I've only been a policeman since April, and I'm going...
They might as well have stayed in Baltimore, for all their pleading. Floyd McKissick was not interested in cooperation or McKeldin's suggestion that he come to Baltimore the next day to talk with civic leaders.

The electrical impulse signaling this event then triggered the pump, and a gush of oxygen into the outer Fiberglas chamber squeezed the blood out of the Silastic core into the aorta. In the process, it pushed the blood along with much more force than Mrs. Ceraso's enlarged and enfeebled left ventricle could have mustered unaided. To reduce the risk of blood damage or other complications, Dr. Kantrowitz and the hovering cardiologists did not leave the pump...
