...transplant, and some surgeons object that those organs probably would fail because they would be deprived of their nerve supply. Not so, says Stanford University's Dr. Norman Shumway, whose team has put a dog on the heart-lung machine, removed her heart, stored the heart in cold salt water for seven hours, then put it back. The arteries and great veins were reconnected, but the nerves were not. The mongrel has since had a litter of eight pups, with no evident strain on her nerveless heart...
...whatever stylistic attractions he has to offer. On the way to his conclusions, he sketches authoritative and compelling pictures of the surreal atmosphere of a campaign, the chaos which surrounds a change in administrations, the Tolstoyan confusion from which great decisions emerge. But his eye is always on the object, he is always looking for signs of that pervasive lethargy which befogs American politics. One of the places he finds it is in Adlai Stevenson's 1956 cappaign, which he considers a model of ineptitude. Significantly, it is not Stevenson's personal awkwardness which bothers Hughes, but the confusion...
Today much of the antagonism toward NSA no longer comes from those who disagree with the politics of its resolutions. Many now object to the Association simply on the grounds that it takes stands on "political issues" in the first place.

But Pulitzer dreamed of higher things and a college that would help achieve them. "It will be the object of the college to make better journalists, who will make better newspapers, which will better serve the public." Harvard was approached, but its faculty considered journalism on a par with lathe turning. Columbia finally got the nod, along with some $2,000,000 that became available after Pulitzer...
Fiasco in Milan. Italy's Carlo Pisacane is a 72-year-old comedian who portrays a sadly dilapidated object called The Little Shack (Capannelle). Capannelle stands 5 ft. 4 in., weighs 132 Ibs., and looks like Jimmy Durante trying to look like Mohandas Gandhi. He has the innocence of Durante, the gentleness of Gandhi, and a stupidity that is all his own. He swaggers about the slums of Rome in what he demurely describes as "sportswear": moldy sneakers, maggoty jodhpurs, a blazing blazer apparently made from an old American flag. His head sticks up like the little bald ball...
