...persuaded Barnard that no treatment short of a transplant would be effective in Washkansky's case? For answer, Barnard showed a screen-filling photograph of Washkansky's original heart, so damaged by the growth of fibrous tissue that only about one-tenth of the muscle in its main pumping chamber was working properly...
...this mystical melange, hippie communities are developing clearly identifiable sects, with their own clergy, formal meetings and even liturgy. These groups borrow unabashedly from all three main strands of the psychedelic faith. The Neo-American Church, whose pastors are known as "boo-hoos" (the absurd title is meant to keep "an element of humor in our institutional affairs"), uses prayers from Buddhism, Tantric Yoga and Mohawk moccasins in its pseudo-marriage ceremonies. One popular center of hippie worship in Los Angeles is the Oracle-Cosmic Joy Fellowship, whose prelates are known as "coordinators." At its regular services, worshipers sit cross...

A main source of that slump is lagging profits in the synthetic-fiber business. Accounting for about one-third of Du Pont sales, synthetics have been hurt by a slowdown in the textile industry caused largely by rising imports and falling prices. While Du Pont continues to base hopes for recovery on its huge research budget ($110 million a year), McCoy realistically admits...
