...Vineberg told the cardiologists, he has combined this technique with an even more extensive operation for heart-disease victims who have blocks in two or three coronaries. In addition to implanting the mammary artery, Dr. Vineberg now opens the heart sac and removes all of its inner layer (the epicardium). Then he wraps the heart in what amounts to a blanket of tissue that is rich in blood vessels. To get this material, he cuts through the diaphragm and takes out a 6-inch by 10-inch piece of the omentum, the apron of fat that lies over the intestines...
Even more significant, the pictures showed no evidence of the thick and treacherous layer of dust that many astronomers and physicists have predicted might envelop vehicles landing on the moon's surface. Said Astronomer Kui per, who at times during the past several years has stood nearly alone in insisting that there is little or no lunar dust: "There was never any basis for believing it anyway, but the idea seemed to fascinate people in the same way as flying saucers." The surface of the Ocean of Storms, Kuiper said, seemed to have been formed by lava flow during...
Stability, light weight and low cost are the small boatman's criteria. In dinghies, Chapman Yates leads the fleet with its new 8-ft. 3-in. Hydro-Pram, available for either sail ($465) or outboard ($250). Because of a thick bottom layer of polyurethane foam, it will not capsize with a 145-lb. boy standing on its gunwale, nor sink when filled with water and two beefy men. Total weight: 90 lbs. Lighter still is the 10-ft. 4-in. Swift, George O'Day's bid for a slice of the sailboard market. Only...

...process begins, they report, with the laying down of the familiar chalky and fatty material, largely cholesterol, inside the artery (see diagram). Then, by processes not yet understood, an "abscess" forms either within the artery's innermost layer (intima) or between the intima and the middle layer (media) of the three-ply artery wall. But this is no ordinary abscess, filled with pus. It is a special, possibly unique type, containing the debris of broken-down cells from the blood and the artery walls, a fatty paste, crystals of cholesterol, and calcium...
