...larynx, also from an unnamed donor, was transplanted in a four-hour operation. To what extent Kluyskens tried to attach the recipient's laryngeal nerves to those in the graft, or to what extent he succeeded, was unclear. On this depends the ability of the larynx to function more or less like Borremans' own. Last week one of his doctors described Borremans' breathing as perfect, and added: "His voice already exists." He was still being fed artificially...
...enormously enlarged, cancerous liver of Caroline Varney, 27, a bride of six months. This transplant took far longer than the heart. Not only are the liver's anatomical connections more difficult, but Mrs. Varney's diseased liver presented special problems. At week's end, all four recipients of organs from this six-way surgical achievement seemed to be doing well. The Varney family, like the donor's brothers, hoped that the achievement would encourage others to arrange similar multiple donations...
...days after other aquanauts set up housekeeping aboard Tektite, a second undersea habitat that had been lowered into Lameshur Bay at St. John, V.I., one of four fire extinguishers began to leak carbon dioxide into the cabin. It was quickly placed outside. The following day, the unit that had detected the carbon dioxide ceased to function. But Tektite technicians began hourly atmosphere checks to ensure the safety of the aquanauts and expressed confidence that their mission would continue successfully for its scheduled two-month duration. If everything goes according to plan, the aquanauts hope to complete underwater biological and geological...
Other cities reflect the same trend. In a recent study of Skid Rows in 28 major American metropolises, conducted by Sociologist Donald J. Bogue of the University of Chicago, all but four reported a population decline. For the first time in the experience of Chicago, which boasts-or at least counts-three Skid Rows, there are empty rooms now in the neighborhoods' overnight hotels. Ronald C. VanderKooi of the University (CANADA) °f Illinois predicts that Skid Row, if left alone, will probably...
...prin cipal crime against the prevailing values of U.S. society is his stubborn refusal to accept them. On the Bowery, investigators found that 55% of the inhabitants had never married, one-third had never voted, two-thirds claimed no close friend either on or off Skid Row. One in four, asked where he expected to be a year hence, predicted that he might be dead...
