...always choose a writer who had something practical to tell him. Aeschylus, who introduced the tragic hero to literature, was his "favorite poet." On the death of Martin Luther King Jr., he used the lines: "Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God." Asked once why he strove so hard, Kennedy again quoted from Aeschylus: "When the height is won, then there is ease...
Invincible on Battlefields. Nor is he by any means a loser. His doughty employment of American heart and muscle dragged South Viet Nam back from abject defeat in early 1965. Fighting all the while, his men hacked from virgin jungle and sand dunes the airfields and bases needed to sustain the conflict at the far end of a 10,000-mile supply line. For two years, Westmoreland's search-and-destroy tactics battered his enemy to a counterpunching crouch along Viet Nam's borders. He built up American strength from some...
Central Receiving doctors hooked Kennedy up to a respirator and an external-cardiac-massage machine. Bazilauskas gave him oxygen and an injection of Adrenalin to stimulate his heart, and Holt started a transfusion. Kennedy's heart began pumping.

Cuneo, who was assisted by fellow Neurosurgeons Nat Downs Reid of U.S.C. and U.C.L.A.'s Maxwell Andler Jr., had performed hundreds of brain operations...

Electrodes from an electrocardiograph were taped to the Senator's chest and extremities in order to monitor his heart. X rays of his head and chest were taken. He had been receiving whole-blood transfusions ever since he had arrived...
...heart was still beating, a little fast, a little weak. His blood pressure had been dangerously high before the tracheotomy. It stabilized near normal after the throat tube relieved pressure caused by blood and mucus in the trachea. "The heart started to stabilize too, so we could operate," Cuneo later told TIME Correspondent Tim Tyler. Ethel Kennedy had been there all the while, standing in a different section of the room. "I told her we were taking X rays, that her husband was extremely critical...
