...patient sitting in the office of Drs. Corbett H. Thigpen and Hervey M. Cleckley in Augusta, Ga. was a neat, colorless woman of 25 who held herself primly as she described her symptoms in monotonous though cultivated accents and stilted language. Her name, for the purpose of the amazing case history now reported by the two psychiatrists in The Three Faces of Eve (McGraw-Hill: $4.50), is Eve White. For the most part, her troubles had been no more unusual than severe headaches or mild blackouts, but that afternoon she recounted a weirdly disturbing episode: one day, of which...
...emergency room, Dr. Joseph Belshe made an instant decision: with out waiting even to wash his hands, he ripped open Fruehling's heavy clothes, made a 7-in. incision over the heart, and plunged his hand in to massage the stilled organ. A nurse administered oxygen. Drs. Fred Riegel and Dean Ericksen joined Belshe. All they got after 10 to 15 minutes of massage was a fluttering:-"ventricular fibrillation," usually the forewarning of a dying heart. The little country hospital had no fancy electrical defibrillator (TIME, May 7), but Dr. Riegel thought he knew just what...
Most physicists tried vainly to solve the tau-theta puzzle in a way that preserved parity. Showing less respect for scientific propriety, Drs. Lee and Yang suggested last summer at Brookhaven that perhaps the trouble lay not with the K mesons but with parity itself. If parity could be violated on occasions, the odd behavior of the K mesons would be easy to explain...
Assuming that the proposed satellite (21.5 Ibs., 20-in. diameter) reaches a maximum speed of 18,000 m.p.h., Drs. Carl Gazley Jr. and David J. Masson point out that the temperature of its skin should not rise much above 2,000°F. Although most common metals either melt or soften at this temperature, alloys recently developed for the turbine blades of jet engines are capable of withstanding it. So should an alloy-constructed satellite. A returning satellite could not only show the subtle effects of cosmic rays but could also bring back with it pictures of what the earth...
...Most, if not all, major heart surgery can be performed more safely with the patient chilled to a temperature between 84° and 89° F., Drs. Henry Swan and S. Gilbert Blount Jr. of Denver suggested in the A.M.A. Journal. They found that hypothermia extends to eight minutes the time during which the heart can be stopped without damage to the brain. They hope to improve the method to cover heart operations that cannot yet be performed within that time limit...
