A Johns Hopkins team did this in 1959, when it devised a system in which one rescuer does the mouth-to-mouth work while another puts his hands on the lower part of the victim's breastbone and presses down smartly, 60 to 80 times a minute, to restart the heart.

Thus Rachel Verney informs her Amercan rescuer, "for five years I've been free from guilt. I've lived in peace with my family." War is shown to be the disrupter of a contented world, rather than the outgrowth of a disparite and unjust...
