Near the arch of the aorta (see diagram) he inserted a plastic catheter tube, which was connected to a heart-lung machine. Another catheter, similarly connected, went into the right auricle. At this point, the whole body was perfused with oxygenated blood. The surgeons then clamped the aorta beyond the catheter and clamped the pulmonary artery and venae cavae, thus isolating the heart from the rest of the body, which thereafter received no circulation...
...Plausible. A closer look reveals the harsh realities. For all its outward appearance, East German Boss Walter Ulbricht's New Wall is even less passable-even, in fact, less plausible-than the crude barrier that first shocked the world six years ago. Ulbricht's new design (see diagram) has been conceived with chilling efficiency; to test it, the East Germans erected a prototype at an army camp, rounded up some of the country's best athletes and let them try to cross the barriers without interference. None could makeit. Ulbricht has already completed nearly a third...
...avant-garde compositions that have made Takemitsu, at 37, Japan's leading exponent of a new, totally modern yet distinctly native musical style. He scored R I N G, a plaintive, murmuring piece for flute, lute and guitar, not with notes but with a diagram of a circle containing directional signals for time, dynamics and pitch. In Corona for Strings, he achieved wispy as well as grating effects by directing the instrumentalists to improvise on the basis of colored plastic disks superimposed on their parts (yellow for soft, blue for loud...
...famed Greenlane Hospital. The agency went to work and ultimately our Auckland stringer, Bob Gilmore, joined in. The Hepworths found a place in Auckland. ¶When we did our Gemini rendezvous cover at the end of 1965, NASA's Director of Flight Operations, Chris Kraft, found the cover diagram of the maneuver by Cartographer Robert M. Chapin Jr. so exact that he asked us for copies of the original work. He has since been using them to explain the historic mission to NASA's own staff and to aerospace contractors. ¶ In our cover story on "French Chef...
Employing a purposely florid Victorian style, Friedensohn has painted a series of pictures that re-create the crime, diagram the paths of the bullets entering the body, offer a stiff-necked portrait gallery of the prisoner's-or possibly the victim's-family. Inaccurate and overwrought newspaper accounts of the murder are evoked by distorted and double-image pictures of it (one on a giant television screen). Doctors presiding at the operating table are shown poised over the body like apostles at the Last Supper. "Assassination," explains Friedensohn. "is like patricide, deicide. It provokes a religious...
