...Jail, officials are prepared to put prisoners in tents in the jail yard. While the candidates trade charges on whether the convention is open or closed, it is, physically at any rate, the tightest in U.S. history-a kind of Stalag '68. Already the demonstrators have achieved the feat of forcing a major party to pick a candidate for President behind barbed wire, in a charged atmosphere reminiscent of a police state...
Bucks for the Banks. When its new models hit the showrooms Oct. 1, A.M.C. hopes to do better than just hold its own-though even that is no small feat for a company which last year lost $76 million, held barely 3% of the U.S. auto market. While still short of its 4% market-penetration goal, A.M.C.'s share has risen to 3.14% in a highly competitive year in which both G.M. and Ford have had troubles...
...primarily responsible for coordinating this technical feat is Donald Bermingham of TIME'S News Bureau, who takes second place to none when it comes to obtaining both information and cooperation. Bermingham, a veteran of eight previous national conventions, and his staff started months ago arranging facilities for TIME people, booking rooms and, finally, producing TIME'S own directory to pivotal action centers.

Transplantation of a human heart is without a doubt the most dramatic feat of modern surgery. Yet while the heart is only a pump, the liver, by contrast, is an immensely complex processing factory, with dozens of functions involving the chemistry of metabolism. Transplantation of a liver is far more difficult than that of a heart, and so far equally rare. Eight patients who have received new livers at three U.S. medical centers within the past year are now alive. In the early days of liver transplantation, survival for a month was considered remarkable. Last week one of the patients...
...more than two decades, West Berlin has lived and prospered despite its isolation inside Communist territory. The economic cost of accomplishing that feat is now getting higher and higher. Surrounded by bitterly hostile East Germany, the city (pop. 2,200,000) must bring in most of its food, fuel and raw materials through its air, rail, autobahn and canal lifelines with West Germany, 110 miles away. And to keep their $10 billion-a-year economy afloat under such circumstances, West Berliners have been forced to rely increasingly on powerful infusions of capital and outright subsidies from the West German government...
