...surgeons cut out the clot-plugged section of aorta and replaced it with a Dacron graft. Now Gormley's feet and legs are no longer cold. His blood pressure is down to a healthy 130/80, and last week he was recuperating in Ogden, Utah, taking short walks to rebuild his strength. The man who should have been dead had made medical history. His is the first known case in which such generous collateral circulation compensated for a complete shutdown in the aorta...
Oldest & Cheapest. During World War II, Allied bombing clogged the waterways with 4,000 sunken vessels, 370,000 tons of twisted bridge steel, 14 million cubic feet of concrete and rubble. Since the war, Germany has spent more than $1 billion to clear away the debris, rebuild the fleet, deepen the rivers and improve the country's 65 inland ports. Reason for continued reliance on the Continent's oldest form of transportation: it is still the cheapest way to ship bulk freight. To move a metric ton of coal from Duisburg to Mannheim, for example, costs...

After a series of bloody firefights, Clement's battalion captured the valley's major V.C. supply center, Le My, early last May. First thing they did was to rebuild two Red-blown bridges. Then Clement reopened Le My's market for the first time in five years; it now sells everything from tinned sardines to Japanese sandals brought in from Danang. Le My had had no school since 1958; last week, Clement inaugurated a two-room schoolhouse and exchanged greetings with its 100 pupils, who screeched "Big Joe No. 1" as he strode in. A dispensary manned...
