This "dialytic parabiosis" lasted 90 minutes, was credited with helping to save the woman's life. (The sheep also recovered after a brief feverish illness.) Last week Dr. Pavone-Macaluso said that he wanted to try the technique again, but with a bigger donor animal-and hence a larger blood volume-to clear the patient's blood faster. In fact, he said, if he could figure out a way to get it into the operating room, he would like to use an elephant...
...Last week, after five years of preparation, 6½ months of shooting in Italy, nine months of editing in Hollywood, and a massive publicity campaign, M-G-M displayed a new version of Ben-Hur that is far and away the most expensive movie ever made-it cost $15 million to produce, $1,500,000 more than The Ten Commandments-and also one of the longest-3 hr. 37 min., not including a 15-minute intermission. Only Gone With the Wind (3 hr. 42 min.) and The Ten Commandments (3 hr. 39 min.) ran longer...
...thousands of new fans are happily discovering, pro football is a game of precise and powerful virtuosity -incredible catches, runners who break away from swarms of opponents just when they seem stopped, crunching tackles and jet-powered blocks. No experienced pro fan ever leaves a game in its last five minutes when his team is only two touchdowns behind-any club can, and may, explode in those five minutes and win.

...pros are displaying a variety of play that college football cannot match. Canny, veteran quarterbacks such as Philadelphia's Norm Van Brocklin, 33, and Pittsburgh's Bobby Layne, 32, still dominate their teams. With a tricky, lateraling attack, the Chicago Cardinals can erupt for clusters of points. Last year's champion Baltimore Colts can field a covey of stars led by young (26) Johnny Unitas, a onetime reject from the Pittsburgh Steelers who is rated the best quarterback in football, throws touchdown passes from the shelter of the league's finest offensive tackle, mammoth...
...numbing fullback as the Cleveland Browns' young (23) Jimmy Brown. Magnificently muscled (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.), Brown has a sprinter's speed, strength enough to carry along a brace of tacklers. When he hits defensive backs with a low shoulder, he can send them cartwheeling. Last year Brown smashed 1,527 yds. in twelve games to shatter the league ground-gaining record by a fabulous 381 yds. And even the lowly Los Angeles Rams, at the bottom of the Western Conference, can offer Halfback Ollie Matson, 29, whose stride is rated the most beautiful in football...
