...ALSO RISES?Ernest Hemingway?Scribner ($2). A lot of people expected a big novel from burly young Author Hemingway. His short work (In Ou Time, 1925) bit deeply into life. He said things naturally, calmly tersely, accurately. He wrote only; about things he had experienced mostly outdoors, as a doctor's son in northern Michigan and as a self-possessed young tramp in Europe. Philosophically his implication was: "Life's great. Don't let it rattle...
...discordantly between scenes of surgery, group meetings, and debilitated patients who, it’s no surprise, would probably stand to benefit from xenotransplantation technology. There are, however, areas where the narrative excels. He recounts an entertaining history of early attempts at xenotransplantation, most notably the exploits of traveling doctor John R.

Statham, though his trombone skills were limited, turned out to be a great singer and performer, especially on the standout “I Don’t Need No Doctor,” which featured a burning double-time jazz-improv section. And yet, whenever Versace was not singing or playing, he tended to retreat to the wall behind the stage—or, worse, to the band room. This behavior, reminiscent of Zeppelin’s infamous departure from...
...miles away from Uri. When he heard of the disaster, he drove home to help out. He hasn't washed or slept since. The army, whose presence in the garrison town of Uri is almost oppressive, has not tried to cross the landslide. "No one has visited here. No doctor, no rescue, no civil administration." From where we are, we can see the green roofs of army cantonments, littered back up the valley...
