Music by Muzak was soft and low. Two Sleepy People and So Bears My Heart for You flowed over the operating room in Houston's Methodist Hospital. But the patient on the table, His Royal Highness Prince Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Duke of Windsor, was already going under the anesthetic. Baylor University's famed surgeon Dr. Michael E. DeBakey was scarcely listening as he performed an operation that only a few years ago would have seemed dangerous indeed. He slit open the 70-year-old duke's belly and cut down to the aorta...
...Secretary of Commerce (see THE NATION). New York City-born, Yale-educated ('33) Gadsden was a vice president of Sharp & Dohme when it merged with Merck in 1953.

Some of them tend to be a little "soft," where she uses blue and green cloth cut into small shapes. Her paper collages are most successful; they are black and white, with a little red occasionally, and their line varies between that of torn paper and real hard-edge. Her inspiration is nature (in which she differs from many...
...those long, entreating, sensitive hands. And there they were still. Twisting together, making their excuses. For what they had never done." And the evening climaxes when the visiting couple learns (by hearing the husband's tape recording of bird calls that accidentally runs on to include giggles and soft cries) that Nora's husband has been sleeping with his devoted secretary. Or should climax. In fact, both couples ignore the discovery, and go on drinking...
