Michael Ellis DeBakey. son of a Lebanese immigrant who had made good in Lake Charles, La., wanted to be a physician-specifically, a surgeon. Soon after graduation from Tulane University School of Medicine, interning at New Orleans' vast Charity Hospital, young Dr. DeBakey invented a pump that he hoped might some day relieve or replace the heart during delicate surgery. That was in 1932, and the inventive intern was about 20 years ahead of his time...
...famed Winchell legwork has slackened to an amble. His Manhattan jungle prowls are intermittent now; he prefers to let his 40-odd faithful squad of Broadway volunteers pump up the bulk of the gossip. When he does walk abroad, he likes to visit the scenes of old triumphs: "This is where I got Lepke." He is often alone-an isolation the big game he once stalked is pleased not to invade.

They got it back in action, and Bryan proved the car was as good as new by qualifying at an average speed of 142.118 m.p.h...
...Integrators. Tariki and his young assistants are no mere nationalizers; they saw how Mossadegh nationalized Iran's oil only to find that he simply could not sell it. Instead, Tariki wants to develop "integrated" operations down to the distant gas pump, with the Arabs taking a share in producing, transporting and marketing the oil. Aramco is willing to give him more money in future concessions but no part in company operations outside Saudi Arabia. Last week the talk of Cairo was about a Tariki plan for an Arab-owned tanker fleet and a new Arab-owned pipeline from...
