Inner Logic. While the controversy raged back and forth, the TV networks hardly knew where to focus their cameras next. On top of some memorable footage from the battlefield, there was the conference-to say nothing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings where Administration critics were having their day. CBS finally decided that continuous coverage of the Senate hearings was consuming too much time, and consigned that part of the dialogue to evening selections from the tapes. The move stirred up something of an intra-network flap, but it had its defenders in the press. The conference, said...
...told the College of Cardiology about new techniques based on the Vineberg principle but using different vessels to carry blood to the heart muscle. Cleveland's Dr. Earle B. Kay reported that he and Dr. Akio Suzuki cut out a piece of the left lung's arterial network with "a multitude of side branches," and sew the "trunk" end into the descending aorta. Then they implant the smaller branches in the heart muscle. The advantage of this method, which has so far been successful in four out of six patients, said Dr. Kay, is that the blood vessels...
...Walton Lillelehi's team from the University of Minnesota described a similar technique, using part of the network of veins from the patient's own thigh. The trunk vein is sewn into the aorta, and the branches are set in tunnels in the heart-wall muscle-tunnels through which a surgical knife has been run, deliberately cutting several small, transverse arteries, to open them up so that they can receive the new blood supply. Ten of these patients, said Dr. Randolph M. Ferlic, who suffered from crippling angina even when they were sitting down and not exerting themselves...

Critics forget the essential role of the NCAA to protect and improve amateur sports for the 645 member colleges. The NCAA has become increasingly effective in curbing recruiting violations, creeping professionalism, a growing television network control over game conditions...
...Greene's latest novel has all the ingredients of a successful suspense story: it is set in Haiti, a small, romantic island run by a cruel dictator; the narrator, owner of a deserted luxury hotel, is carrying on an affair with an ambassador's wife; the action is a network of plots and violent encounters with the sinister secret police, climaxing in an unachieved revolution. But the book is deadly dull. The characters drag through their parts listlessly, like unconvinced actors, hardly caring what happens to them. Events pile up without meaning or suspense. Graham Greene has written some exciting...
