Kent's heart stopped soon after the heart sac was cut open, but promptly picked up its beat again on being massaged. Dr. Glenn cut through the right pulmonary artery (see diagram) at its beginning near the ventricle, carried the free end around to a hole, half an inch across, cut in the side of the superior vena cava, and stitched it in, like a plumber's elbow joint. Then he tied off the vein near its normal entrance to the auricle. In this way, 30% to 40% of Kent's venous blood (the proportion carried...
...Walter O'Malley, Los Angeles is a sort of Garden of Eden and Black Hole of Calcutta rolled into one. While the turnstiles of mammoth Memorial Coliseum click toward a smashing major-league attendance record, his Dodgers languish at the bottom of the league and his plans for a new baseball home in Chavez Ravine run into snags from all quarters.

They were also harangued about the delivery of 300 rocket warheads to the Cuban air force at the Guantánamo base on May 18-the event that touched off the protest kidnapings...
...drivers. But the best all-round harness man of them all was not driving. Balding, twinkly Del Miller was sweating out a 15-day suspension, imposed by the stewards for his driving in an earlier Roosevelt race. Miller had pulled back at the halfway mark, presumably to find a hole along the rail. There was no hole. He came in last, was promptly set down for driving "in a manner inconsistent with an attempt...
