...made from bits and pieces may be distant, but it is already possible to replace the head of an embryonic chicken. Last week Yale University told how Mira Pavlovic, 28, a visiting research associate from Yugoslavia, performs the graft, operating on eggs that have been incubated for 33 to 40 hours. At this point the embryo is 0.2 in. long, and the blood system is so primitive that the organism does not bleed...
Your article on the Philippines and Mr. Garcia [April 21] is a gross understatement. Things are twice as bad as you relate. Political graft, moral corruption, and a general desire to be spoon-fed is the actual situation...
...successors, Ramon Grau San Martin and Carlos Prio Socarras, were constitutionally elected. But while Grau and Prio grew wealthy amid unparalleled graft and corruption, the ex-strongman became restless in his premature retirement. In 1948 he supported a presidential candidate who was soundly defeated. Then, in 1952, Batista ran for the presidency himself. Eighty-two days before the election, when it became obvious that he would lose, Batista staged an army coup, regained power, and has held it ever since...
...abdomen and lock it. He did-so successfully that attendants could not move it. Kelsey added: Keep the arm there until the command "unlock it" is given. Surgeon Barron attached the abdominal flesh to the wrist, and the patient kept his arm in place for three weeks while the graft took. The next stage was tougher: the graft was cut loose from the abdomen, and the arm was laid across the drawn-up right foot. Again, the same commands. After plastic surgery under a light analgesic, the patient held this grotesque position for four weeks without complaint. He could even...
...Sloan-Kettering Institute's Dr. Helene W. Toolan reported the first success with rats and rabbits. She took skin from embryos in the first third of gestation, found that it made a permanent graft on 45% of unrelated adults, grew a good crop of hair. Memorial Hospital's Plastic Surgeon Reuven K. Snyderman applied the technique to cancer patients and burn victims. From human embryos lost (from spontaneous or therapeutic abortion) during the first 4½ months of pregnancy he took skin grafts for eight patients. Four failed to take, probably because of infection, Dr. Snyderman suggested...
