...headed dog, no freak of nature, was the latest product of Surgeon Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov, chief of the organ-transplanting laboratory of the Soviet Academy of Medical Sciences. Dr. Demikhov, says Blok, started in a small way by replacing the hearts of dogs with artificial blood pumps. Next, he planted a second heart in a dog's chest, removing part of a lung to make room for it. The extra heart continued its own rhythm, beating independently of the original heart...
...generals. He also has a winking eye for such social ironies as the marriage of an Episcopalian to a Roman Catholic in Scotland ("As Methuen had not made his submission to Rome, the ceremony was bare, although . . . the Bishop Auxiliary allowed a bit of extra-liturgical cheeterybung on the organ"). One of Author Marshall's most hilarious scenes: the shy young hero, out on a date, is prevented from doing what he desperately has to do because the unwitting girl defeats all his pretexts to get away for a moment, unable to imagine why the boy seems...
...down Hesse and Bavaria, the two men went last week, Dehler smashing china, Adenauer picking up the pieces. Der Alte no longer had much patience for his impulsive ally.

When he found that the church maintained a chapel for poorer parishioners who could not afford to rent pews in the church proper, Dr. Coffin closed the chapel, abolished the pew rents and merged the two congregations. He often took a portable organ to tenement districts to hold services for workers who came home at 2 a.m. "You do not go into religion head first," he once said. "You must go in heart first, and the head will go later...
...scalpel made swift but precise cuts and laid bare a rib, Dr. Artusio asked: "Can you nod your head?" Edna nodded. Dr. Glenn lifted a pair of shears and snipped out the rib. Then he cut deeper, through the layers of the heart sac, until the pulsing organ itself was laid bare. He plunged his gloved finger into it and wiggled his fingertip, so that it tore some of the scar tissue and enlarged the opening in the mitral valve in order to let more blood flow from the left auricle to the left ventricle. Throughout the delicate operation, Edna...
