...accountant, was in St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston waiting for Dr. Denton A. Cooley to replace three valves in his heart, all damaged by rheumatic fever beginning 15 years ago. A donor heart became available after Kathleen Martin, 15, shot herself in the head during a quarrel with her 18-year-old husband. By extraordinary coincidence, Dr. Cooley had operated on her in 1962 because a narrowing of her aorta was restricting the outflow from her heart, which was becoming enlarged to meet its extra work load...
...making of movies, some very elementary metaphysics, and the old illusion-vs.-reality bit. I didn't like it, but that's between me and my generally perverse taste; at least it was the film Parker wanted to make, plainly personal and chock full of substance.

...cost dearly: a $60-a-ton subsidy on the island's only crop (sugar), almost $8,000,000 in budget support last year alone, and the necessity of moving in troops every time the country's Hindus, Moslems, Chinese and French-speaking Creoles decide to quarrel. No wonder Britain felt relief last week when independence finally came to Mauritius; small wonder, too, that even the issue of independence managed to divide the island...
