...Thrasher (David Wayne), a rising young executive who is torn between his innate sense of honor (of course no man of honor would want to work in Madison Avenue) and financial pressure (it is almost axiomatic that men of honor have mortgages to pay). Thrasher's story, with some minor changes, has been told repeatedly in the past few years...
...election. At recent City Council meetings, Velucci has received informal ribbing about his precarious position. His strong Portuguese vote may be pre-empted this year by CCA-endorsed Manuel Rogers, although if Rogers is eliminated early from the count, his second place votes would presumably go to Velucci. Two minor Italian candidates have reportedly joined the race simply to take first-place votes from Velucci and DeGuglielmo; how much this may hinder Velucci is difficult to judge...
Outside of the latter rather sticky item, The Captain From Koepenick is highly entertaining, and in a few of the comic scenes, positively brilliant. Helmut Kautner's comic direction is perceptive and lightning fast. His sausage-filled officials are overdone perfectly, and his other minor characters dodge in and out of the story with potent effect. And of course, throughout, there is Heinz Ruhmann's performance, which alone makes The Captain From Koepenick eminently worth seeing...
...fused sac. They cut it so that Jeanett's heart had a normal sac; Denett's was open until they stitched it shut. Major blood vessels to the liver proved to be separate, but in cutting the bridge dividing the two organs, no fewer than 75 minor vessels had to be cut, and their bleeding stanched. Separated at last, each twin had her own quartet working independently-and with welcome elbow room-to close the fibrous covering that encapsulates the liver. After 4 hrs. 40 min., it was over. As a final esthetic touch, the surgeons had divided...
...concrete-block building, ready for early August occupancy, with offices for the doctor and his wife, waiting rooms (separate for whites and Negroes), two 10-ft.-by-10-ft. examination and treatment rooms. Dr. Sills has a sterilizer, centrifuge, microscope, and instruments for minor surgery. He wants no fancy, expensive gadgets like an electrocardiograph or X-ray machine, because these are handy at the Americus and Sumter County Hospital (130 beds), ten miles away...
