...void, two ingeniously contrived spacecraft-one Russian, the other American-reached Venus last week. Methodically investigating the cloud-shrouded planet, they successfully radioed their findings back across 50 million miles of space to scientists on earth. The dual performance was perhaps the most impressive demonstration yet of the technical progress made by man during his first decade of space flight...

Until recently, 34 days had been Starzl's record for survival after a liver transplant. Two of Starzl...
