...Hour Limit? This was not the first transplant of a human liver. That was done last March in Denver, where surgeons and physicians from the University of Colorado Medical Center and the nearby VA Hospital have pooled their talents in a transplant team. By now the Denver group has done four transplants, with one patient living 22 days after the operation, when he died of pneumonia. The Boston and Denver teams have traded reports of their progress, and their methods are remarkably similar, though they differ in some details...
...Denver's Dr. Thomas E. Starzl and William R. Waddell feel strongly that a liver should be hooked up to its new blood supply within two hours of being disconnected from its original host. They have not yet been able to make the transplant as fast as that, and neither did Dr. Moore.

At Regis High School in Denver, the Rev. Donald H. Miller, S.J., has used TIME in teaching medieval and ancient history. "TIME," he wrote, "represents to me an ideal which I hold out to my history class -an understanding of contemporary events in a historical context...
