...HERBERT STEIN, 55, an owlish and acerb economic theoretician, is a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. He is now responsible for planning Phase 2 of the Nixon strategy: what comes after the 90-day freeze. Known for an intellectual agility that some dismiss as sophistry, he will need to be nimble in the task; for several years he has been a determined spokesman against the sort of policy Nixon finally adopted...
Neither of the two previous patients to undergo heart-lung transplants lived for more than a few days after their operations. Still, South Africa's Dr. Christiaan Barnard had no hesitation about attempting the surgical spectacular last month. His patient, Adrian Herbert, 49, was near death from emphysema, and Barnard felt that the operation offered the only chance for survival (TIME, Aug. 9). Last week, 23 days after the operation, Herbert died at Cape Town's Groote Schuur Hospital...
Though the patient survived longer than the other two heart-lung recipients had, it was a desperate struggle almost from the beginning. Three days after surgery, Herbert began to have difficulty breathing, and doctors opened his windpipe and inserted a tube to better ventilate his lungs. Later a bronchial leak required a second postoperative repair job. For several days afterward, Herbert appeared to be making progress. But on Aug. 13, his condition began to deteriorate despite further efforts to save...
Barnard's South African colleagues lost no time in criticizing him for even attempting the procedure. One, quoted in the influential Afrikaans newspaper Die Burger, implied that Barnard had engaged in outright experimentation; another argued that the operation had offered Herbert no real hope for a return to normality and should not have been performed at all. Some, however, withheld comment pending the release of more details, including the precise cause of death. The wait may be a long one. Barnard has refused to discuss the case until after the publication of an article in the South African Medical...
Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41 (Herbert von Karajan; Berlin Philharmonic; Angel, 3 LPs; $5.98 each). Six testaments to the delectable creations in which Mozart not only prophesied the symphonic era that followed him but very nearly said the last word on the subject. Von Karajan's distinctive blend of rich phrase and richer orchestral sonority customarily works well. But this time he seems surprisingly nonchalant. His drowsy Jupiter, for instance, might better be called Saturn. The best set of these symphonies remains Otto Klemperer's (also on An gel), and- for crisp, detail-laden...
