The autopsy showed that many formerly immobile blood clots, set free by the unwontedly strong pumping action...

Shumway Jr. The victim of three heart attacks within seven years, Rizor had been longing for a transplant since he heard of Dr. Christiaan N. Barnard's first operation in Cape Town last December. "At first," says his wife Eileen, "I was shocked by the idea. But time and the knowledge of how desperately my husband wanted the operation made me realize that it might be his only chance to live."
