...Kantrowitz team was prepared for delay in finding a donor with Block's blood type, AB, Rh positive. This is found in only about 5% of Americans. By extraordinary chance, the first potential donor reported to Maimonides was AB positive.

When she approaches one slightly retiring fellow, played by Martin Balsam, the dialogue casts its mood so well that it seems perfectly reasonable when she perches on his wife's tombstone and does her imitation of Helen Morgan singing a blues song. In the end, when he gently rebuffs her, she bravely goes off in search of another live one. In TV's "black week," Paths was the brightest Christmas gift...
