...other moves went virtually unnoticed, however, as all attention fo cused on the bombing pause-and why Johnson timed its announcement when he did. Politics, of course, were thought to have played a major role. With Wisconsin's primary two days off, it was presumed he had hoped that a move toward peace might neutralize the formidable challenge to his renommation that was being posed by Eugene McCarthy and Robert Kennedy.

After studying microscopic sections of the transplanted heart, Dr. Barnard said they showed only minimal evidence of rejection. But on the basis of a similar set of heart-tissue samples, a distinguished transplant team at London's Hammersmith Hospital, headed by Surgeon William J. Dempster, said that it found signs of "a moderately severe rejection reaction-more than just minimal." American pathologists who saw Barnard...
