WALTER W. RICHARDSON Jefferson...
...faces of steelworkers stoking their furnaces, and watched while a painfully earnest schoolgirl in a Warsaw classroom rattled off a quaintly colorful description of the U.S. Revolutionary War. Excerpt: "So the farmers rose up. At the head of the fighters stood a farmer, George Washington. And the distinguished Thomas Jefferson was there too. The great Polish fighters, Kosciusko and Pulaski, also took part in the fight. In 1776 the uprisers were victorious. The Congress of the U.S. adopted the Constitution, and the President of the U.S. was the former leader of the fight for freedom, George Washington." By such deft...
...under hypothermia the heart is especially likely to lose its regular beat and flutter uselessly (fibrillate), which may cause death. What was still needed was a pumping device to take over the functions of both heart and lungs for as long as necessary to operate. At Philadelphia's Jefferson Medical College, Surgeon John Heysham Gibbon Jr. had been working on such a device for almost 20 years.

Jefferson, Van Buren), jumped to the latest-Harry Truman-then to Coolidge and then agonized for a while before naming Teddy Roosevelt. Van Doren, who risks losing $42,000, perhaps even more, of his big pot, was beginning to chafe at the tension: "It's like a full house...
