...last year, but they are not. They already have lost nine games, or two-thirds the number they lost all last season. Coach Alex Hannum finally told Chamberlain to be a little piggy out there, take himself a shot now and then. Wilt's response was to pump in 52 points against the Seattle Supersonics. He hit for 34 against the Chicago Bulls, 29 against the Cincinnati Royals, and the 76ers suddenly began to show some of the old spirit. Rattling off four straight victories, they swept past the Boston Celtics and took over the N.B.A.'s Eastern...
...Exercising the captain's prerogative, Dr. Christiaan Barnard moved into the first operating room and cut eight blood vessels to free Denise Darvall's heart; then he severed it from its ligament moorings. It was disconnected from the pump, and was carried to Washkansky's room, where it was connected to a small-capacity heart-lung machine. There it lay, chilled and perfused with oxygenated blood, while Surgeon Barnard removed most-but not quite all -of Washkansky's heart. He left in place part of the outer walls of both the auricles, the right carrying...
...heart-lung pump was still running. Now it was reset to warm the blood. After ten minutes it was switched off to see whether the transplanted heart could carry the whole burden of Washkansky's circulation.

Since ancient times, the heart has been apostrophized as the throne of the soul, the seat of man's noblest qualities and emotions-as it still is in poetry and love songs. But even the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano noted last week that "the heart is a physiological organ and its function is purely mechanical." In fact, the heart is nothing more than a pump. There is no more...
Bruce then blurted out that he had shot his mother accidentally with a .22-cal. rifle. Reloading the rifle one cartridge at a time, he had continued to pump bullets into his mother "to put her out of her misery." He next shot her dog, then doused the couch and her body in gasoline and touched off the fire. The confession came as a complete surprise to Criswell, who said later that he had never even suspected the 14-year...
