French film officials had the answer: they asked her to be chief judge of the Cannes Festival. "I hesitated at first," recalled Sophia. "It wouldn't be easy running a group of well-known writers and thinkers like Marcel Achard, André Maurois, Marcel Pagnol and Peter Ustinov. But then I said to myself, 'Why not be a judge instead of an actress for once? After all, I do know something about the movies, don't I?' So I said...
...pump in question was the plastic "half-heart" attached to the chest wall of Marcel L. DeRudder, 65, in Houston's Methodist Hospital (TIME, April 29). For more than 41 days, with never a falter after the first hour, it had done three-quarters of the work normally done by the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber.

What actually caused the rupture...
