...SHOWOFF. The marrying process is always a mystery, but Playwright George Kelly's tightly corseted family cannot begin to understand how the youngest daughter could possibly pick a man whose every guffaw grates on the nerves and whose every word offends the sensibilities. Helen Hayes leads the APA in a gentle revival of the 1924 comedy...
...Winter Comes, by the leading bleeder of the year, A.S.M. Hutchinson, whose This Freedom was No. 7, followed by Edith M. Hull's The Sheik. Sinclair Lewis' great period piece, Babbitt, did make the first ten, sharing last place with a forgotten field of corn called Helen of the Old House, by Harold Bell Wright. It is salutary to note that the first English translation of Proust's Swanris Way did not make the scene...

If I knew I were going to die, I'd like to die that way." Instead, she collapsed in a parking...
...Helen Krouch weighed a scant 100 Ibs., and her heart was proportionately small. Louis Block weighed 170. Besides the difficulty of tailoring the transplant to fit, Surgeon Kantrowitz saw another problem: the donor heart almost certainly could not pump enough blood at first, although it might later increase its capacity. He decided to transplant the heart but to assist it for a while with a helium balloon pump inserted through a thigh artery and placed in Block's aorta. This device (TIME, Aug. 25) has worked well for five patients in shock and near death after heart attacks...
