These operations take an hour, are done under general or local anesthesia and cost about $3,000. The patient wears an eyepatch for a day or so. After a month the stitches are removed with almost no scarring. In 15 years, Barraquer has done about 4,000 operations with apparently good results. Most people see without glasses almost as well as they did previously with glasses. But the operations are not for everyone. Dr. Casimir Swinger of Manhattan's Beth Israel Medical Center, one of those who has recently brought the procedures to the U.S., says that they should...
...declared, "The Klan has a right to march and should be protected." After the meeting Farmer patiently argued with the woman and just as patiently reassured a young, blind Jewish man about relations between blacks and Jews. These days, Farmer, tall, stout and barrel-chested with an eyepatch and a sympathy for Moshe Dayan, often finds himself cast in the role of moderate elder statesman...
Kenzo Takada also scored a major breakthrough with his new collection.

The Moroccan King has met before with other Israeli leaders: his last such secret téte-à-téte was six months ago, with former Premier Yitzhak Rabin. The Tangier summit was arranged because Hassan...
...only failing in this excellent production of Pinafore is the gimmickry. During the Lord Admiral's attempt to woo Josephine, director Lindsay Davis inserts some unnecessary slapstick which detracts from the Gilbert humor. Dick Deadeye (Phillip Baas) does not wear the usual eyepatch but sports instead a "dead eye" which, from the balcony, looks like a wart. He is also equipped with a hook for a left hand...
