...vests, white visors and multicolored sleeve garters, looking as if they should be dealing out chips at a poker table. Male travelers will be diverted by 24 to 50 "passenger representatives" (Amtrak will not call them stewardesses) wearing a variety of outfits: side-slit red gowns over blue panty hose, skirts and cardigans, red hot pants.

Shanks, who was near death, was wheeled into the operating room at 7:15 p.m. Doctors opened his chest and slit the descending aorta, the downward trunk of the main artery leading from the heart. They then sewed the booster directly into the aorta, led the air hose out through the chest and connected it to the exterior tank. The procedure took five hours, but it was not until 5 a.m. that Shanks left the operating room; Kantrowitz kept him there until he was certain that the booster was doing...
