...limb to a trunk, although a successful operation after so long a time has never been recorded.* The conditions looked promising. The severed leg had been tipped up at an angle, and it was drained of blood; had blood remained, ruinous clots would have formed. The doctors' first job was to restore the blood flow, thus restore some life to the limb. Before cleaning the leg fully, they stitched together the ends of the main artery, then the main vein. Quickly taking circulation from the trunk, the leg turned from a deathly grey to a normal pink. Then...
...last week, with the television industry undergoing an agony of self-reappraisal in the lurid light of the quiz-show scandals (see SHOW BUSINESS), many a journalist working the TV beat as reporter-critic was busy appraising his own job. And to many a critic, it appeared that Des Moines's Dwight was not far off; the television reporter-critics have precious little influence. The quiz shows themselves are a case in point. For years, the nation's TV critics flayed the quiz programs as phony, valueless, and taste-degrading entertainment ("Immoral!" cried Jack Gould...
...abruptly turned his back on abstract expressionism and won an award in the San Francisco Annual for a painting, Boys on Bicycles, in which the boys were boys, and the wheels were round. "As you grow older," Park said, "it dawns on you that you are yourself-that your job is not to force yourself into a style, but to do what you want."

...college friends, including Eugene E. Trefethen Jr., new vice chairman of several Kaiser companies, and D. A. ("Dusty") Rhoades, new president of Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp. When Henry J. won a contract to build the main spillway dam at Bonneville, Ore. in the mid '30s, he turned the job over to Edgar, then 25, and Clay Bedford, a boyhood chum, who is now general manager of Kaiser Aircraft & Electronics. Swift currents and widely varying water levels made the job a tough problem-but the dam was finished a year ahead of schedule...
KAISER moved into automaking, and Edgar again got a big job-running Kaiser-Frazer. But the auto industry proved too tough to crack. K.-F. lost about $52 million before it stopped making passenger cars. Edgar cut the loss by buying up the assets of Jeep-maker Willys-Overland, now Willys Motors, which last year contributed $6,848,000 in earnings to Kaiser Industries. In 1954 he moved West to take charge of the Kaiser empire, and Henry J. headed for Hawaii to build a new empire there, including his latest enthusiasm: a $350 million resort-residential city on East...
