...place, Surgeon Braunstein and assistants began stitching in a graft, donated by a man who had died two months earlier, which was then freeze-dried. At 8:55 the stitching was finished. Fourteen pints of blood had been used. There was still no sign of a heartbeat or of life in David's eyes. The clamps were removed. Then the seemingly unbelievable happened. Says Dr. Mahajan, who was still massaging David's heart at the time: "One moment it was a flabby, lifeless organ. Suddenly it swelled alive-strong, firm, and pumping steadily...
Elsie May Keene went around to the office of Arvid Lovgren, complained to him of pains in her throat. Naturopath Lovgren took her blood pressure, told her that her heartbeat was too fast, promptly administered a "chiropractic adjustment" with a vibrator.

Too bad-because Actor Heflin gives a performance well above the usual sagebrush standard...
...night also brought danger. Far below, thunderstorms were moving in from the west. The tracking C-47 could not climb through the weather to follow the balloon, and radar was useless. The radio that reported Simons' heartbeat and respiration rate had died, and the main radio seemed to be weakening. Calmly, Dr. Stapp told Dr. Simons the news: if he stayed up he would have to monitor his own pulse and breathing, take his own position checks and thus could not risk more than a short nap. Answered Simons: "Let's continue the flight...
