...Lila Mauldin, 26, Albuquerque housewife and mother of three, was always short of breath; she got tired in no time. Diagnosis of her trouble was easy enough, and last spring she went to Denver's National Jewish Hospital for an operation to correct mitral stenosis -a narrowing of the valve inside her heart, between its upper and lower left chambers. Without such an operation, Mrs. Mauldin was not likely to live long. But the N.J.H. surgeons found they could not operate because Patient Mauldin would need transfusions during surgery, and she had rare, unmatchable blood: type A (common...
Then the surgeons remembered a recent report in Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics on the use of a patient's own blood for transfusions. They decided that Mrs. Mauldin would be the perfect subject for such autotransfusions. Back in Denver early this month, she gave three pints in five days, on a low-salt but otherwise normal diet. "That's pretty fast," says Dr. William Bormes, "but we wanted the blood as fresh as possible." Only four days after her third "donation," Mrs. Mauldin went on the operating table. Dr. Bormes opened her chest, slipped a tiny, fingertip knife into...
With her rare blood, Patient Mauldin was a special case. But even for most patients, with common blood types, autotransfusion is the best possible source of blood. By far the safest thing for anybody to have flowing through his arteries and veins is his own blood. With it, there can be no mismatching, which carries a risk of serious or fatal illness. When an operation can be scheduled a few days to three weeks in advance, and the patient is not severely anemic or debilitated, he can usually serve as his own donor...
...practiced by Kelen and his collaborator Alois Derso, the art of caricature survives today mainly in the work of newspaper editorial cartoonists, the best of whom-Bill Mauldin, Herblock, Paul Conrad of the Denver Post, Fritz Behrendt of Amsterdam's Algemeen Handelsblad-can transcend mere exaggeration to reach with a few lines the essence of a subject's character. "It is not simply a matter of drawing a big nose bigger and a floppy ear floppier," Kelen writes. "It involves an evaluation of the inner man through his outward features. A caricature is an opinion." For 40 years...
...York Times was sorely disturbed. "Demonstrators," said the Times, "cannot be allowed to interfere with government (city, state or national)," and the committee, "by these tactics that go beyond the bounds of legitimate picketing, is building up resistance against achievement of the just goals it seeks." Syndicated Cartoonists Bill Mauldin (Chicago Sun-Times) and Paul Conrad (Denver Post), strong pens for the cause of Negro rights, drew sharp pictorial jabs against the bitter criticism that other Negroes at the N.A.A.C.P. convention in Chicago had thrown at University of Mississippi Student James Meredith because they considered him much too moderate...
