...Face the World. Barnard's biography conveys something of the real drama of medicine and particularly of the drama of his first heart transplant. The patient, Louis Washkansky, was a sprightly, funny, thorny man, furious at his helplessness and cheerfully willing to put his heart in Barnard's hands. The book captures both the spirit of this crotchety victim and the excitement of that extraordinary operation -even though the prose, at key moments, tends to overflow like a sliced-open artery...

On the other hand, as a common saying puts it, "In Bonn, secrets are kept only from those who should know." Last April, the chief of Bonn's trade mission in Warsaw spoke openly about Brandt's private letter to Poland's Party Chief Wladyslaw...
...comes out in pure class hatred. They see an affluent generation of college kids who never had to make any money on their own, and whose education, in fact, the workers themselves are paying for. They see these kids screaming about how hard life is, and the workers are furious. As far as they can tell, they certainly wouldn't be where they are now if they had had a chance to go to college. And to their minds, college is just a place where everyone sleeps together anyway. Kids nowadays get to romp and stomp for four years...
