...guns, the President last week paid homage to four heroes of Viet Nam in a unique Pentagon ceremony, hanging the star-spangled blue silk ribbon and bronze star of the Medal of Honor around the necks of a soldier, a sailor, a Marine and an Air Force pilot. >Army Specialist Five Charles C. Hagemeister, 21, has the kind of bravery that often prompts Viet Cong snipers to single out the aid man as he moves to wounded comrades. Hagemeister raced through machine-gun fire when his platoon was ambushed in central Viet Nam in March 1967. He defended the wounded...
...specialist in hypnosis as well as a professor at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, Psychiatrist Spiegel tested the cliches by choosing a volunteer who was "a normal, healthy neurotic like anyone else." While NBC-TV filmed the experiment for possible use in a documentary, Dr. Spiegel easily and quickly put his subject into a deep hypnotic trance. Next he told the man that he had important information about a major Communist plot to take over the television networks and radio stations. Dr. Spiegel provided no other information; he implied, however, that the subject could provide...
Venerable Bivouac. For the Paris parley, Harriman and Vance will be accompanied by three principal aides: Philip Habib, Lebanese-descended Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian Affairs; William Jordan, former newsman and Viet Nam specialist for the National Security Council staff; and Lieut.

Chief surgeon was Dr. Christian Cabrol, 42, on the faculty of the University of Paris since age 26, and a specialist in artificial-heart research. An hour after the operation, Roblain's blood pressure dived to near zero. Emergency measures restored it to near normal, but Roblain remained in a coma until his death 51 hours after the operation. The autopsy showed that many formerly immobile blood clots, set free by the unwontedly strong pumping action...
...most devoted fans, including his publishers, simply could not bear to live without him. Although Ian Fleming died almost four years ago, his creature, James Bond, is back, resuscitated by British Author Kingsley Amis.* A specialist on 007, as he proved three years ago in the James Bond Dossier, Amis provides a reasonably healthy, if slightly pale, replica. It remains to be seen whether the trans planted heart will function smoothly (and profitably), or whether it will provoke rejection symptoms. The new Bond lacks much of the comic-book charm that connected so well when the camp craze...
