...preliminary announcement, have both done well. One, a man of 52, has gone back to work. But Bailey was not content with the instrument that he used (it had a rigid steel shank), so he soon designed another. The result is a piece of piano wire with a loop handle at one end, a tiny ball at the other, and 1½ in. from the tip, a thicker section with woodscrew thread. Bailey has used this to ream the diseased plaques out of the coronaries of three more patients, all of whom seem considerably improved...
...Elis boast the best scoring duo in the league in Johnny Lee, a 6-2 forward who last year led the loop in scoring with a 24.1 average, and is again hitting over 20 a game this year, and Larry Downs.

Hooked up to a magnetic loop surrounding the hospital is a transmitter rigged for 56 different frequencies, with one assigned to each staff doctor.

...warm crowds; newsmen could find no trace of "that anti-Nixon feeling." There were 2,200 at the railroad station in Lansing, 5,000 at Battle Creek, 2,500 at Kalamazoo (about twice the crowd Stevenson drew) and 2,000 at Niles. Across Lake Michigan, in Chicago's Loop, more than 200,000-the biggest crowd to greet a visitor there since General Douglas MacArthur came home in 1951-thronged State Street to hail the Vice President...
