The carefree manner in which the newly born infant is "disconnected" from his mother, concludes the report, "is in sharp contrast to the meticulous care with which the thoracic surgeon separates his patient from the heart-lung machine...
...proceeded to make life uncomfortable for Miami's race-track racketeers and expose the city's corrupt "termite administration'' in 1938 (for which the News won a Pulitzer Prize); of injuries suffered in the explosion of an anesthetic (cyclopropane) during an operation for lung cancer; in Manhattan...

Dr. Boerema clamped off the great vessels around their hearts to shut off circulation. Unhurriedly, he made a connection between two arteries. Thanks to the oxygen drenching, the children showed no ill effects from the blood-flow shut down, and emerged from the operations with oxygen concentrations...
