...votes to Dewey in return for the vice-presidency. Governor Alfred Driscoll, who was originally for Vandenberg, was going to deliver himself and at least a part of New Jersey to Dewey for the same reward. Congressman Charlie Halleck was going to deliver Indiana for the same reason. The effect of the stories was always the same.

He thus reversed the normal course of the blood and made it flow backward.. In effect, he turned a vein into an artery; the heart's capillaries got a new supply of oxygenated blood fresh from the lungs (revascularization). The patient was "terminal" (in doctors' jargon, would have died anyway), but showed enough temporary improvement before he died to make the operation look promising...
