...patient was Adrian Herbert, 49, a dental technician. Emphysema had so ravaged his lungs that they scarcely functioned. This condition had overloaded the heart, and it, too, was badly damaged. Herbert could not have lived more than a day or two away from intensive hospital care. Even with that care, says Barnard, Herbert was a "semivegetable." Radical surgery, therefore, seemed justified. Relatives gave their consent; Barnard alerted his team of 14 and awaited the arrival of a donor...

Detroit just sighed. "The test procedures have been made easier," said a Chrysler official, "but we still don't know whether we can accomplish the goals." Herbert L.

This calls for facing how [those choices] can be asserted to have any legal quality." In short, why should anyone listen to the Justices? "The answer, I suggest, inheres primarily in that they...
Ignorance, lack of specialized training, discrimination and substandard wages are the reasons usually cited for the persistence of poverty in the affluent U.S. But Sociologist Herbert J. Gans of M.I.T. believes that there is a more subtle underlying cause for the substandard living conditions of millions of Americans. Poverty, Gans says, continues to exist because it performs useful functions for many members of society...
