...Harvard. Everyone plays--faculty, administration, students, and the Selective Service System. The way it goes is this: the Selective Service tells the students that they can only go to college for four years. No more graduate school, unless you want to be something helpful, like a doctor, or a dentist, or a veterinarian, or an osteopath, or an optometrist, or a chiropodist, or a minister, or a research scientist. Or, you can be something else helpful, like a farmer, or an apprentice riveter, or a glass-blower, or the Vice President of the United States. The Selective Service makes...

Eleven days after the operation, Blaiberg, 58, was sitting on the edge of his bed and swinging his legs like a schoolboy. This was not mere bravado, but was designed to help his circulation.

Among the several courses open to them to try to blunt the rejection mechanism, Washkansky's doctors chose to use two drugs, azathioprine (Imuran) and cortisone, plus radiation. At first, to avoid moving their patient, they administered gamma rays with an emergency cobalt-60 unit, somewhat resembling a dentist's X-ray machine, rigged up in his room. After four days, when Washy was waving at photographers and joshing with doctors and nurses, he was considered strong enough to stand a quarter-mile trundle to the regular radiation treatment center. At week's end, when his white...
