Through the Guides. The solution to that problem, suggests a U.C.L.A. research team, is a procedure for precise brain mapping that is as drastic as it is technically delicate. First a bunch of holes are drilled into the patient's skull; metal guides are screwed into place and steel electrodes are jabbed through the guides, as far as two inches into the brain, to make a special kind of electroencephalogram (EEC). The electrodes are left in place for three weeks or so, and repeated EEGs are taken-when the patient is asleep, during a spontaneous seizure, or when...
...part of the strip is rolled around the cadaver bone and sutured in place. After almost a month in the hospital, the patient is sent home for about three months to see whether his system can adjust to the presence of the foreign tissue. He takes with him a metal clamp that he uses periodically to shut off the blood supply from one end of the finger roll. Once the implanted finger becomes adjusted to a one-way blood supply, the patient goes back to the hospital...
There, Dr. Kalnberz severs one end of the cadaver-finger roll, opens the stub from which the patient lost a finger, joins the implanted bone with a metal pin to whatever natural finger bone the patient has left. He also stitches ligaments and tendons together. The patient's bandaged hand is strapped to his belly, and stays in that position for five to six weeks. Only after that is the new finger cut loose from its remaining abdominal attachment. Two to four months later still, Dr. Kalnberz does whatever cosmetic remodeling is necessary on the transplanted finger...
...view in a glass box, along with his school diploma, vaccination certificate and other personal documents. Manhattan's Leo Castelli Gallery put on a one-man show titled "Store Fronts," which is all they were: a row of fullscale, blank and well-lighted store fronts made of metal with Plexiglas windows backed by brown wrapping paper. The artist is a 30-year-old Bulgarian escapee from Soviet Realism named Christo, who has lived in New York since...
...objects look like huge creative playthings. They hang from the ceiling, climb up the walls, stand in rows like great metal boxes or tilt like huge destroyer smokestacks. And they are causing a great deal of talk. So much so that visiting museum curators who come to Manhattan make it a point to stop by the Jewish Museum's current show, "Primary Structures...
