...severed bones (ulna and radius) with pins, and sutured the arteries back together. Then they unclamped the arteries of the arm and let blood pour out through the hand veins for four minutes to make sure the vessels were clean. That done, they clamped off the artery flow and rejoined the veins. Then, starting from the center, they worked to the outside reconnecting nerves and tendons. Finally, they sewed up the skin and put on a cast to keep the bones immobile. In all, the operation took eight hours, and Pennell's hand was saved...
...ranging from one to five miles fluctuate between downhill (northwest-southeast) and uphill (southwest-northeast) courses, which produce alternating dry and wet weather. On the uphill course the air rises, eventually cools off enough to produce condensation, clouds and rain. Just the opposite happens on the downhill cycle: air flowing from northwest to southeast moves lower as it reaches the east coast, becomes warmer, drier, and loses its rainmaking potential. Since 1961 the downhill flow has persistently hugged the northeastern U.S., producing the prolonged dry spell. Why? There are theories but no firm answer...
Vocally, Miss Dee's lack of Shakespearean experience is evident. Final phrases often fade into inaudibility, and she tends to drop final consonants in words like "mind" and "thousand." Her long concluding speech, wherein, tamed at last, she talks of wifely duty, comes out choppy, lacking shape and flow...

Barring a worldwide recession, labor shortages in these highly industrialized areas seem likely to increase, probably for a decade, despite automation. Western Europe's labor force is growing only half as fast as that of the U.S., and rising industrialization in southern Europe is expected to curb the flow of job seekers across international borders. In fact, before long, the tide may even reverse a bit. Industries around Milan and Turin have begun buying ads in Dutch and German newspapers offering good jobs at home to trained workers. This, of course, irks the Dutch and Germans, who paid...
