Bailey (TIME cover, March 25, 1957); now, says McEachen, the reaming-out (see diagram), which he does in the di rection opposite to that of the blood flow to reduce the risk of clotting, may have to be combined with the graft of a patch into the side of the diseased artery to restore its full bore. Under any circumstances, he said, the heart-lung machine is needed during the operation, and the surgeon has to use "microsurgical instruments, magnifying lenses, tiny sutures and great care." Of six Santa Monica patients followed for up to three years, five have derived...
Imagine the general amazement when, quoting the popular expression that "The fish rots from its head, not from its tail," the President set out to hack away graft in government from the top down. First hit was the judiciary. At Helou's prodding, the Supreme Judicial Council in December fired 13 prominent judges whose "irregularities" were well known.

...posterior tibial artery; it was 51 hours after the injury that blood began to flow back into Liang's foot. The anterior tibial artery and three veins were quickly rejoined, muscles were sutured, the Achilles' tendon was repaired, nerves were retied, and a 130-sq. cm. skin graft was laid over the torn-up area around Liang's ankle. The entire operation lasted eight hours. The skin graft survived, and within two months the replaced foot was well enough to begin physiotherapy...
