...pursuit of its concept of normalcy, the military herded 7,000 suspects into Santiago's soccer stadium for lack of a better mass prison elsewhere. Among the prisoners were several Americans, including Adam Garrett-Schesch, 31, a University of Wisconsin history researcher, and his wife Patricia, 30, a sociologist. Released and allowed to leave Chile, the couple contended that between 400 and 500 captives had been shot during the time they were held in the stadium...
Fewer Deaths. Bypass surgery began with an unplanned and extreme measure taken in November 1964 by Dr. H. Edward Garrett at Houston's Methodist Hospital. Operating on a 42-year-old truck driver named Heriberto Hernandez, Garrett had expected to ream out a short stretch of clogged coronary artery and stitch over it a split piece of vein removed from the patient's own leg-what surgeons call a patch graft. Two main arteries proved to be so diseased that this procedure was not feasible. Garrett, who is now at the University of Tennessee's Medical Unit...
...Today he is launching a major diversification for the $2 billion-a-year company.

There is a severe irony in all of this, because Pat Garrett was killed, some 20 years later, by the same Santa Fe cattle interests that hired him to hunt Billy.

Garrett's killing of the Kid was only a moment on the way to his own death. This dimension is almost entirely lost because MGM decided to remove the scene of Garrett's death, which originally began the film. There have been...
...changes ordered by the studio are mostly stupid but not disastrous. Even in the maimed state in which it has been released, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is the richest, most exciting American film so far this year. There are moments and whole sequences here that stand among the best Peckinpah has ever achieved: a raft moving down a muddy river, a ragged family huddled on board; the final meeting of Gar rett and Billy back at Old Fort Sumner at night, with men moving like apparitions and dust blowing like a rasping fog. The whole film...
