Bypassed Duct. After the incisions were made, the real technical difficulties began. Moore and his chief assistant, Dr. Alan Birtch, clamped off the portal vein, which delivers blood to the liver for chemical processing, and the inferior vena cava.

A university is not a democracy and cannot become one without degenerating into anarchy. At a conference on "Students and Society" at California's Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions last year, the president of the student body of St. Louis' Washington University put it aptly...
