...been months in coming, and Ike's repeated recoveries from heart attacks and abdominal operations testified to his remarkable vigor. His mind remained undimmed until almost the final hour. A patient at Walter Reed Army Hospital since last May, shortly after his fourth heart attack, Eisenhower suffered three more attacks in June and August. Several times he was in critical condition, only to recover. Last week the bulletins took on a tone of finality. The old soldier's heart progressively weakened until, at week's end, it ceased beating. "His passing was peaceful," said...
...even serious illness could disrupt the tranquillity of his first term, however. Late in the summer of 1955, the President, fishing and golfing in Colorado, suffered the first of his heart attacks but recovered quickly. Less than a year later, in June 1956, he was stricken again, this time with ileitis, which required major surgery. To his credit, Nixon, then Vice President, responded with tact and humility in a situation that might have stopped other men. After two such illnesses, it seemed impossible that Ike would run for reelection. But he did. "I want to finish what I have started...
...been seized upon in the '50s. The Eisenhower Administration's record on civil rights was, to say the least, undistinguished. "I have very little faith," he would say in the tones of Ecclesiastes that the next decade would find unacceptable, "in the ability of law to change the human heart or eliminate prejudice." Much as Eisenhower's Abilene background strengthened him for the great tests of war, it did little to help him understand the urban society he governed. In the era of Keynesian economics, his obsession with a balanced budget seemed archaic. In those days there were...
When surgeons began boldly transplanting human hearts, they appeared to come into direct competition with researchers who had spent years trying to devise an artificial heart. But last week Houston's Dr. Denton A. Cooley, who has transplanted more hearts than any other surgeon, brought the two lines of investigation into a neat, complementary...
Transplants, Cooley told an American College of Cardiology meeting in Los Angeles, have produced evidence that the development of a successful artificial heart "may actually be easier than we had previously believed." The explanation: nature has provided the mammalian (including the human) heart with an elaborate fail-safe system of dual controls, one through the nervous system and another through hormonal channels. Early researchers on artificial hearts were overwhelmed by the difficulties of trying to duplicate these enormously complex natural systems. This, said Cooley, is not necessary...
