...Curve. The surgery lasted ten hours. Almost 3/2 hours were spent dissecting the adhesions of scar tissue left by an earlier operation in New York to correct an intestinal blockage. Only then was Suruga able to snip out an eight-inch section of jejunum (the upper part of the small intestine) and to fashion it into the shape of a U (see diagram). Next he trained his surgical microscope, working at 20-to 40-power magnification, on the minuscule bile ducts. He exposed them, and with incredibly fine needlework sewed one branch of the U over them like a funnel...
...identified as that of Dr. Ludwig Stumpfegger, Hitler's surgeon, who was scurrying down the street with Bormann when both men disappeared. As for the other skull, the teeth resemble those of the Nazi leader, and there is a deformation over the right eye, where Bormann had a scar.

Nixon also worries that a Communist takeover in Viet Nam-especially one followed by a "bloodbath" of reprisals there-would lead to an outbreak of recriminations that would scar U.S. domestic policies for years...

Not much more than a year ago it looked as if he might become the first incumbent President since Herbert Hoover to be turned out of office.

By every sign, omen and pollster's tally sheet, Nixon and his running mate Spiro Agnew have it made. The President may be forgiven a touch of vertigo these days...
...assault. Rhetorical defects plague his work. But its aim-which is to use the human figure as a unique metaphor for a sense of crisis and cultural exhaustion-is large; and at their best, as in Burnt Man IV, 1961, Golub's stiff monsters become monuments of scar tissue, celebrating man's minimal function: to survive...
