...Saving the Bleeders. In another series of experiments on animals, a Boston City Hospital team sponsored by the Harvard Medical School reported the possibility of spleen transplantation to save the lives of hemophilia victims. Hemophiliacs suffer from the lack of a blood-clotting substance called AHF. As a result, an otherwise manageable cut can become a source of quick death. At present, when a severe onset of hemorrhaging occurs, hemophilia victims can be saved from bleeding to death by injections of AHF extracted and concentrated from a healthy person's blood. But the process is costly, and the relief...
Still it's hard to believe that it's really over. From the season opener last April on, the Sox were always down but never out. Hadn't we named them the "Cinderella Kids?" Week after week someone always came along to save them-Elston Howard from the Yankees, Ken Harrelson from the A's, Yaz with a homer, Jerry Adair with a clutch hit.

Court cases going back to 1929 give U.S. doctors almost the exclusive right to decide when abortion is necessary to save maternal life; several decisions hold that the danger need not be imminent or certain; in the future, even life-shortening unhappiness might be a legal ground. But few doctors are ready to rely on those decisions in the absence of a Supreme Court ruling...
...Clement Greenberg, who laments that too-happy acceptance of the new has killed the tradition of the avantgarde. Greenberg complains that the days of the great innovators are gone, that pop, op and minimal are not true avant-garde art, but merely "novelty art." The only thing that can save high art, he continues, is long periods of gestation. What's needed is for the "larger art public to stop breathing down its neck." In Smith's case, however, the argument is academic-because he has already spent some 30 years, in a manner of speaking, gestating...
...dusty rank in the shadows past the open door. "Red bar'l, massah. Dat's de bar'l fo' a gentleman, massah." When the desire to play the obsequious coon came over him, Hark's voice became so plump and sweet that it was downright unctuous. "Marse Joe, he save dat bar'l for de fines' gentlemens...
