...scale is that of a small building. Her models and table-sculptures are as a rule no more interesting than ashtrays; there is not enough going on in them to hold the eye. Size is what makes them work, and when they are large, their internal structure of gusset and rib gives them a visual texture that they lack on the small scale. One needs to walk around them and clamber inside their angular crevices. The planes of steel, sliding briskly through space, need real-life perspective before they can impose themselves. Above all, there is a degree of risk...
...doing her heart's work and also cooling her blood. It continued to do so while the surgeons put clamps on the aorta both above and below the constriction. Dr. Newman made an inch-long cut in the aorta's wall and stitched in a plastic (Teflon) gusset, two-thirds of an inch wide at the base. This made the great artery a uniform width from the aortic valve to its big bend. Ro Anne's temperature hit a low of 77°, then a double electric shock restarted her heart.

Last year, he and his team of coworkers* called in a manufacturer to make technical improvements in the machine and turn out a pilot model. As now perfected, it is no bigger than a portable radio, can be plugged into ordinary house current...
Last week the U. S. economy was still far from armed. But it was far enough along for a fitting. A few plates and greaves fitted comfortably. Vast sections of the leviathan's flank were still naked, quivering freely. Here and there a real squeeze was felt, a gusset threatened to break. Items...
