...through." In the current crisis the British may, or may not, muddle through again. But simply surviving it like all the previous ones, without effecting a revision from top to bottom of Britain's approach to the business of earning its way in the world, would be a hollow victory. Better perhaps would be a defeat and devaluation that might force the surgery of fundamental change.

One instrument is capable of joining two hollow organs such as the stomach and small intestine, simultaneously cutting the necessary opening between them and stapling them together, in a 5-minute procedure that usually requires 20 minutes or more of scalpel work and stitching.

Jongejans to leave Red China. It was a hollow ouster, for Peking cops promptly took up positions outside the Dutch legation in order to keep Jongejans a prisoner until the welders in The Hague were released. The whole affair, railed the enraged Chinese, had nothing at all to do with kidnaping, but really involved a malicious plot by the CIA and reflected "Dutch government support of the anti-China...
