...Cartographer Robert M. Chapin Jr. fell the intricate assignment of showing precisely what happens to the baseball as Marichal pitches-fastball, screwball, slider and curve. Marichal posed his right hand and ball grip for the four photographs in the diagram that illustrates the cover story, and made several suggestions and corrections in the drafts of Chapin's drawing. It should be pointed out that Chapin brought some baseball credentials of his own to the task. He once pitched for the Pirates -the Park Road Pirates of Washington...
...fastball and a curve," says St. Louis Outfielder Mike Shannon. "They're the two best pitches in the league. But Marichal has more. He has four or five-and he can control them all." Shannon hasn't seen the half of it: Juan has 13 pitches (see diagram), and one of the keys to his success is that he exhibits no particular fondness for any of them. "You can't anticipate him," explains Outfielder Frank Robinson, late of Cincinnati and currently of the Baltimore Orioles, who freely admits that he is happy to be playing...
...myocardial infarction out at his home. I want the person brought to my hospital where he can be put in an intensive care unit. Going to the home just wastes time." If the variety of specialists makes some people feel that their body is being treated like a diagram in a butcher's shop, U.S. doctors retort that this is only the necessary fragmentation of a science advancing too fast and grown too complex for any one man to know all there is to know. Even so, the average doctor works 60 hours a week...
...pumping chamber, which does more than half the heart's work, was too badly diseased. Standing ready in the operating room was a team of doctors and engineers with the one device that might help: a "half-heart" to assist the left ventricle by partially bypassing it (see diagram). An instrument based on the same principle but of different design and materials had been first tried in man 2½ years ago, when Dr. DeBakey used it to keep a moribund patient alive for 3½ days (TIME, Nov. 8, 1963), and for only the second time last February...
Bailey (TIME cover, March 25, 1957); now, says McEachen, the reaming-out (see diagram), which he does in the di rection opposite to that of the blood flow to reduce the risk of clotting, may have to be combined with the graft of a patch into the side of the diseased artery to restore its full bore. Under any circumstances, he said, the heart-lung machine is needed during the operation, and the surgeon has to use "microsurgical instruments, magnifying lenses, tiny sutures and great care." Of six Santa Monica patients followed for up to three years, five have derived...
