Tearing the Heart. No one realizes this better than Candidate Stevenson. Touring Pennsylvania last week, Stevenson drew good crowds but appeared weary and snappish (mourned friendly N.Y. Postman Murray Kempton: "It almost tears the heart to see Stevenson"). Although Adlai had been assured of Pennsylvania's 74 convention votes by Governor George Leader and Pittsburgh's Mayor David Lawrence, Stevenson remarked: "I can't be sure, of course, that I will retain their allegiance until next August." Estes Kefauver was in no better shape; his improved Gallup poll rating after the Minnesota primary could be expected...
Inflammatory Talk. Without naming names, Ambassador Stuart quoted recent remarks by Tory Leader George Drew, one of the chief promoters of the current campaign against U.S. investments in Canada. "We are not going to be treated as though we were the 50th state* of the United States," Drew had cried. "We are not going to be hewers of wood, drawers of water and diggers of holes for any other country...
...speeches. In a Calcutta auto plant, he had eaten lunch with the workers instead of in the bosses' dining room, explaining, "Hell, I wouldn't eat with them in the States. Why should I eat with them here?" Onetime (1933-35) Russian Auto Plant Worker Reuther drew new applause from approving Indians with a well-worn point: "In America the capitalists own the factories but we workers own the automobiles.

This gave the surgeons a "dry field" and a heart at rest. With deft scalpel, Surgeon Effler slit open the flaccid right ventricle, drew the remaining blood from it, and located the opening in the septum. He sutured the sides of the hole together. Then he took the clamp off the aorta and let blood from the artificial heart flow back into nature's heart. The potassium citrate soon washed out and-with no artificial prodding-the heart resumed its normal rhythm even before Effler could finish closing the ventricle wall. Last week, nine weeks after the operation...
...India's new city of Chandigarh (TIME, June 8, 1953), submitted the most controversial project of all. In an effort to win over Europe's most famed architect, Berlin city officials agreed to waive low unit costs, promised Le Corbusier a top commission, drew the line only when plans for his 300-apartment building showed ceilings only 7 ft. 5 in. high. "Le Corbu" argued such low ceilings were "adequate for Americans and London bobbies, so why not for Berliners," threatened to withdraw. In one week 4,700 Berliners wrote to Berlin's Tagesspiegel...
