...would consult with "technical experts" before deciding on a course of action. Sirica probably would first listen to them alone, since he could hardly invite anyone, even a secretary, to share his in camera inspection.

Thus experts suggested that the more likely course would be for the judge to re-record those portions which he determined...
...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).

Their bestseller is the classic Mao jacket, padded slightly for warmth, with a removable (and washable) white inner collar and buttons concealing snap closings. It retails for $33 (with matching trousers, it is called the jen-min chuang, or people's suit). The Dragon Ladies also offer other styles right out of Terry and the Pirates-a bright red medallion-print pantsuit at $70 and a long coat with slits...
