...best of the bunch are the old people. As Mama, Chungjoon Lee struts across the stage as a matriarch, conversing cutely with her family. And Sagara's ingenious accent and ability to dotter make the character of the grumpy old Chinatown boss. Chen in the silent role of China Mama manages to make her presence felt at the play's tensest moments...
...machines to restart a stopped heart have been devised on the West Coast. Both rely on the principle of pulsating pressure on the breastbone, thus avoiding the risks of penknife surgery and heart massage. One, built at the University of Oregon by Drs. Charles Dotter and Kurt Straube. is of model-T simplicity: an electric motor on a small table set up above the patient drives a plunger with a padded end that pounds the chest at a set speed up to 120 times a minute. It must be shut off as soon as a natural heartbeat returns, to avoid...
Derived from a ghastly-lovely medieval ballad (Töres dotter i Vänge), the film tells the story of two sisters, one dark (Gunnel Lindblom) and one fair (Birgitta Pettersson), one serving Wotan and the other Christ, one sunk in nature and the other lost in light.

Then, in the depths of the forest, she turns...
...used so far in 70 cases by Dr. Dotter in Portland and in 30 by Dr. Gensini in Syracuse, the procedure begins with insertion of a thick, hollow needle (under local anesthetic) into the femoral artery. Through the needle the diagnostician passes a flexible steel spring, like a plumber's snake (or like the bass strings of pianos and guitars). The needle is soon withdrawn. Inside the steel spring is a single-strand steel wire for stiffening. As in the Syracuse housewife's case, polyethylene tubing is slipped over the steel spring. But in her case, the doctors...
Admittedly crusaders for what the profession calls "left ventriculography," Drs. Dotter and Gensini believe that the technique is safe enough to be used in a physician's office. Some cardiologists believe it still advisable to have the patient in a hospital. But they agree that if experience proves the method safe, it will be a great advance over punching a big needle through the chest wall and into the heart itself to get inside the left ventricle...
