...International, retraced Henry Stanley's 1,000-mile trek, from Bagamoyo to Ujiji, in what is now Tanzania. The New York Herald headline hunter took 71 months to reach Missionary David Livingstone in 1871. Glenn made it in 51 weeks by foot, rail and Land-Rover. In the process, his documentary flashed back and forth artfully but not artily between Stanley's diary and line drawings of the day and troubled contemporary Tanzania. Glenn's words were not quite up to his pictures, though. By contrast with ABC's Project Africa or with Stanley...

This is a process in which a solution is pumped into the abdominal cavity to pick up waste substances that normally should be cleared by the kidneys and urine...
...believed to have signs or symptoms of heart-artery disease, even the most dedicated surgeons admit that the ultimate solution cannot lie in their hands, even though an entirely artificial heart may be developed. One hope is that improved drugs will first control, and eventually prevent, the atherosclerotic process.

...Twice they nudged it with the digger arm. No luck. All it did was swing a bit. Then they tried again, using the arm to steady the box against Surveyor and simultaneously pressing down. This time, success. The box descended to the lunar surface, and the crucial, drawn-out process of testing began. This week JPL will be sifting the first results relayed to earth from...
