...manufacturer, in Manhattan and via short-wave radio put a landing-gear specialist in touch with the Constellation. He advised the pilot to try a more powerful auxiliary system built into the gear for just such emergencies; but it only broke a hydraulic line and made a normal landing out of the question. Captain Rein-Loring decided that the plane would have to be landed on its belly...
...however, the protective power of milk antibodies has not been clearly proved in the case of normal diseases of animals, let alone humans. Unfortunately, also, the protection with which Petersen and Campbell hope to spike their milk is sharply limited. It depends on passive immunity-the kind conferred by shots of gamma globulin against measles and possibly polio. Only active immunity (from the disease itself or direct vaccination) is lasting; passive immunity will wear off in a few weeks at most, after the intake of bovine antibodies stops...
Smith remembers no more, but engineering analysis can describe roughly what happened. The wind hit his body with a force of 8,000 Ibs., and he felt deceleration of 40 gs, so that his organs weighed 40 times normal. His arms and legs must have flailed like propeller blades. His helmet, shoes, socks, gloves, wristwatch and ring were stripped off. His seat blew away automatically; his parachute opened and his unconscious, battered body drifted down toward the sea half a mile offshore. Air blast had inflated his stomach and lungs so that his body floated when it hit the water...
...chest X-ray taken last week with Ike in a standing position showed that his heart remains normal in size. "The doctors are very pleased," reported Jim Hagerty. One final physical task-stair-climbing-remained before the President qualified for departure, scheduled for Nov. 11, when he will go to Washington, then on to his farm home at Gettysburg. At week's end, he had begun practicing on a two-step exercise stile in his room, preparing for the steps he would soon climb to board his plane, the Columbine-homeward bound...
...Hospital gave a glowing progress report on the first human being to receive a successfully transplanted kidney: Richard Herrick, 24, who got one from his identical twin Ronald (TIME, Jan. 3 and Feb. 7), has gained 25 Ibs., his blood pressure is down, his enlarged heart is back to normal size, and he is carrying on "unlimited activity." Ronald is doing fine...
