...might have been a desert princess -but she was not. She was the First Lady of the U.S.; and the only princess in hailing distance was sister Lee Radziwill, who sat at her side. That didn't matter. Nor did it matter, for the moment at least, that only 300 miles away Moroccans were fighting shoot-to-kill border clashes with Algerian troops (see THE WORLD). Like much of Jacqueline Kennedy's four-day visit to Morocco, it all seemed like a page torn from the Thousand and One Nights...
Compelled by sympathy and the necessity of the moment, Britain's Queen reversed the customary ritual. Instead of waiting for her retiring Prime Minister to call upon her and advise her of his choice as a successor, Elizabeth II rode across London to King Edward VII Hospital. There, in a peacock-green coat and matching hat, she sat in an armchair facing the high, white hospital bed. Harold Macmillan, recuperating from his prostate operation and cranked up to a sitting position, wore blue and white pajamas. In such unlikely surroundings Elizabeth received Macmillan's even more unlikely nomination...
...Middle Way. It was a great moment for der Dicke (the Fat One). For 14 years, as economics minister, he had struggled alongside crusty old Konrad Adenauer to build a new nation out of war's rubble, and he had succeeded beyond all expectation: today West Germany has the strongest economy in all Europe and can boast a healthy growth of democratic roots. At 66, Ludwig Erhard is also by far the country's most popular politician. Meritably, the Bundestag gave him a whopping majority approval to take over from the retiring Adenauer...
Truce Talks. For the moment, Ben Bella's performance succeeded in distracting attention from the deeper problems of economic chaos, political dissension, and simmering rebellion in Kabylia, where guerrillas last week reportedly kidnaped government officials and whisked them into the hills. At the same time, the regime stepped up its anti-American campaign with the charge that U.S. pilots had airlifted Moroccan troops to the border. Despite U.S. official denials, the accusation seemed at least partially accurate. Four days before the fighting broke put, pilots of the U.S. Air Force training mission in Morocco ferried troops...
...mechanical engineer who has switched to biophysics, began cooling the body "from the inside out" by perfusing it with chilled saline solution. He kept this up while Surgeon Thomas Marchioro cut out the liver. Dr. Starzl cut out Mrs. Goodfellow's diseased liver at almost the same moment as its replacement arrived in a chilled, sterile container. Then Dr. Starzl stitched the newly arrived liver in, connecting its blood vessels to their counterparts in Mrs. Goodfellow's body. This part of the operation took 164 minutes...
