Various gouges and electric burners are also effective, but Hatch advocated a saw. "There may be lots of bleeding," he told students. "If there is, you can clamp the artery. Pull...
...several moments of groping for what he called a "handle." "I don't know quite what to ask you." Alabama's John Sparkman was even more to the point. "I find myself pretty removed from this discussion," he announced-and soon proved it by falling asleep, his horn-rimmed glasses slipping down his nose...
