...Guinea has saved many a seemingly hopeless case when matadors have been gored in the groin, where the horn often severs the femoral artery-the kind of wound that killed the great Manolete in 1947 in Linares, far from Don Luis's aid. To stanch the gusher-like bleeding from such a wound, standard techniques are too slow and inefficient. Don Luis has perfected a method of applying pressure to the lower belly, just below the point where the femoral arteries branch off. To let the wounds heal, he uses another technique of his own: draining them through...
...Gusher. U.S. artists have consistently won impressive triumphs abroad since World War II, and this summer, with a record number of American musicians touring, they will dominate the European musical scene. In 1952 Pianist Fleisher won first place at Belgium's Queen Elisabeth Concours against far tougher competition than Cliburn faced in Russia. In 1956 Pianist Browning (a Leventritt Award winner in 1955) came within a sixteenth note of taking first in the same competition, finally took second to Russia's Ashkenazy. This summer there are even two other Texas pianists-Ivan Davis, 25, who won first place...
...KanoóepH or "Van Cleeberrrn," as the Russians call him (he pronounces it "Cligh-burn") has been Topic No. 1 in Russia for a month and a gusher of warm good will that has had more favorable impact on more Russians than any U.S. export-of word or deed since World War II. Ironically, the U.S. embassy was probably the last stronghold in Moscow to become aware of Van's coup; U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson and his wife had not even made plans to attend Van's finals audition until they were convinced by American contestants that...
...Gusher. By last week, the first trickle of oil bubbling from the swamps of Brunei had swelled to a gushing 118,-ooo barrels a day. And of the money it brings, about 45% pours into Brunei's treasury. Brunei has become a rich country with an annual income exceeding $40 million, and the money, coming in faster than the nation can find a way to spend it, is buying a better life for every one of the 60,000 men, women and children in the Sultanate. "You rub your eyes and begin to count the miracles that are taking...
Front-Runner. The state-owned National Iranian Oil Co. is sinking another well near the sealed-off gusher, plans to put down five more during the next 18 months to outline the field. The new holes will tell whether Iran struck an isolated pocket of oil under extremely high pressure or whether Qum is one huge continuous field. If it is the field that Iranians-and some U.S. oilmen-believe it is, then it will take enormous amounts of cash and special know-how, more than the Iranians possess, to control the mighty gas pressures and extract...
