...before Doubleday, Page & Co. accepted it, was front-page news and an instant bestseller. Meat sales slumped throughout the U.S. Within months, Congress passed the nation's first pure-foods law and required more than cursory federal meat inspection. Said Sinclair: "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach...
...long ago, Sinclair said of his life: "I don't know whether anyone will care to examine my heart, but if they do, they will find two words there-'social justice.' For that is what I have believed in and fought for." He fought that fight well and effectively.

SURGERY'S most spectacular procedure, the transplant of a heart from one human being to another, marks its first anniversary this week.
