...sheer desperation, perhaps, Anglican priests will try almost everything to pump new life into their rundown urban parishes. In his eight years as rector of St. Mary's in London's grimy Woolwich district, the Rev. Nick Stacey, 40, has wheeled a beauty queen around town in a cart to publicize a church benefit, opened a coffee bar and canteen for teenagers, and instituted bingo games for their elders. More seriously, his 14-man staff has started a housing service for indigents, a suicide emergency center, and a host of other useful counseling services. But even...
Helen Krouch weighed a scant 100 Ibs., and her heart was proportionately small. Louis Block weighed 170. Besides the difficulty of tailoring the transplant to fit, Surgeon Kantrowitz saw another problem: the donor heart almost certainly could not pump enough blood at first, although it might later increase its capacity. He decided to transplant the heart but to assist it for a while with a helium balloon pump inserted through a thigh artery and placed in Block's aorta. This device (TIME, Aug. 25) has worked well for five patients in shock and near death after heart attacks...
...this one was scored in a Lotus, one of those creations of British Designer Colin Chapman that have made such proud marques as Ferrari and Maserati alsorans on the Grand Prix circuit. In place of the familiar old Coventry Climax engine (originally designed to power a fire-engine water pump), the Lotus 49 boasts a brand-new V-8 Ford-Cosworth engine that may well give Ford a Grand Prix championship to go with the victories it has already won at Indianapolis, Le Mans and on the stock-car circuit. Constructed mainly of aluminum, with a single-plane crankshaft (instead...
...alloy-coated stainless-steel cylinders that fit over the sides of a standard V-8 engine. (Only one reactor is required for a six-cylinder model.) As high-temperature exhaust gases flow into the reactors, air is blown into them by a small pump, causing a more complete burning of the fumes. Reduced in hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide as a result, the vapors are then piped out through the car's conventional exhaust system...
...crisis of authority was caused last week by an issue that Harold Wilson quickly grasped-if he did not pump it up on purpose-in order to reassert his party command. South Africa, it seemed, wanted to buy ?200 million worth of arms, and could Britain please forget its three-year-old support of the U.N. embargo to sell them? It appeared that there could scarcely be an easier way of uniting all Labor than giving it a chance to say no to the Vorster apartheid regime. But at least five ministers, led by Foreign Secretary George Brown, declined...
