...dramatic of administration actions was the most unexpected. A group of radical-minded students holding a spirited open forum was startled to see Acting President Andrew Cordier amble over to the meeting. He addressed it informally and spoke of building a "dynamic, forward-looking campus" on "a policy of human relationships." When a few students began to heckle him, they were silenced by others. Rudd and his fellow radicals are still determined to provoke a confrontation, but it may be, as one senior put it, that "the revolution will have to wait for spring. Most people want...
...years of marriage. The elders try to patch things up. But incompatibility and compatibility are equally obscure. Richy's and Joan's reasons for divorcing are as fathomless as Frank's and Bea's for staying married.

But the results have been spotty, at best. Now a team of South African surgeons, including Heart Transplanter Christiaan Barnard, have managed to halt a severe case of liver failure by hooking the bloodstream of a dying woman to that...
...that they are legally classified as vermin in South Africa. Highly developed primates and kin to man, baboons are also highly useful in medical research. Only recently, a baboon's cornea was successfully grafted onto a man's eye. A pig's liver, although it tolerates human blood, is not nearly so sophisticated as the baboon...
