...Walton Lillehei had already gone so far as to use another human being as a heart-lung substitute in a cross-transfusion hookup. Heart-lung machines are now so good that at least one operation once rated impossible has become standard in many medical centers: total correction of Pallet's tetralogy,* the most common cause of blue babies...
...years ago, Dr. Boerema and his colleagues began operating on youngsters suffering from one of the commonest forms of blue-baby disorder-Pallet's tetralogy, a set of four serious heart defects which nearly always occur together.

Finally, when in early July he was ordered into Jordan to bolster King Hussein, El-Kassim "read in the eyes...
Director Clair. now 59, does not everywhere rise to his subject (taken from a novel by René Pallet), and at no point does he approach the artistic altitudes he reached in the '20s.
