...command post on Jerusalem's anciently named Hill of Evil Counsel, Major General Carlsson von Horn, Swedish chief of staff of the U.N. Palestine Truce Supervision Organization, had just spread a luncheon napkin across his knees when the walkie-talkie telephone began to grunt and gasp.

...bull veered. The 21,000 aficionados packed into Madrid's Plaza Monumental let out a mighty gasp as its right horn slashed into the chest of Antonio Bienvenida, 38, dean of Spain's matadors.

...Guinea has saved many a seemingly hopeless case when matadors have been gored in the groin, where the horn often severs the femoral artery-the kind of wound that killed the great Manolete in 1947 in Linares, far from Don Luis's aid. To stanch the gusher-like bleeding from such a wound, standard techniques are too slow and inefficient. Don Luis has perfected a method of applying pressure to the lower belly, just below the point where the femoral arteries branch off. To let the wounds heal, he uses another technique of his own: draining them through...

...nation's leading businessmen got a chance last week at Hot Springs, Va. to sound a clarion call for what the Government should do about the recession-but they never got the horn to their lips. Instead, the more than 100 members of the Business Advisory Council, a blueblood business group that advises the Secretary of Commerce on top policy matters, spent their semiannual meeting without reaching any clear-cut conclusions about the economy, particularly the matter...
