With each sortie, too, goes an "Iron Handle" of four suppressor planes-one a pathfinder able to finger SAM radar signals, the three others armed with rockets, notably the 10-ft. Shrike, which homes in on radar radiations. Last week Iron Handle flights hit ten SAM installations out of the total estimated 100 sites in North Viet Nam. Though the SAMs have had little direct success-bringing down 14 U.S. planes out of 296 launchings in the year since the first was fired -they do aid the enemy in another respect.

Only after that is the new finger cut loose from its remaining abdominal attachment. Two to four months later still, Dr. Kalnberz does whatever cosmetic remodeling is necessary on the transplanted finger...
...Because finger nerves are too small for grafting, the transplanted digit has little or no sensation, and there is not much flexion at its joints. The new finger must be moved as a unit from the knuckle. This is no great drawback, particularly for thumb grafts, which have enabled patients to pick up and use tools, a pen, a spoon or a glass...
