Wertlieb and Drs. Sultan Mohiuddin, Bruce Nadler and Michael Mamakos toiled for six hours. They removed damaged tissue from both stump and leg (including nearly 5 in. of bone), inserted a 15-in. stainless steel rod into the thigh bone as a support, then reconnected an artery and two veins. Heartened by the surgery's initial success, an exultant Wertlieb said after the operation: "It was a New Year's Eve high without a drink...
Wicklund, who claims he never gets sick and never gets a cold, said he still runs ten miles a day, despite a recent operation in which doctors replaced a section of an arthritic femur bone with a ten-inch stainless steel shaft...
...workers must pass through another air lock, strip off their protective clothing and then pass through a shower. At no time will the scientists involved in P-4 experiments come into direct contact with the materials under study. Those tests will be conducted inside "glove boxes," glass-fronted stainless steel cabinets fitted with shoulder-length rubber gloves that enable workers to manipulate the culture dishes, test tubes and microscopes mounted inside yet remain isolated from the experiment. The risk of any leakage will further be reduced by keeping air pressure inside the cabinets lower than that in the room...
...peripatetic teacher, author and cuisinier who was once the personal chef of Charles de Gaulle: "I recommend three good knives: two for slicing, one for chopping. A few basic strong pots. They don't have to be copper. But remember aluminum discolors some foods and stainless develops hot spots. Get good utensils-they will last forever, and you can give them to your children. Also try to avoid snobbism. Cooking is not for showing off to the neighbors...
Other sticky problems will challenge the engineers and designers. Sand will probably have to be screened out by costly stainless-steel filters at the bottom of each well. The corrosive quality and high temperature and pressure of the brine will demand specially designed piping, valves and moving machinery. The exhaust water will have to be pumped back into the earth to avoid turning the area into a swamp. The economics will look more encouraging, however, if Congress adopts a provision now in a pending tax bill that will allow a tax credit...
