...Guinea has saved many a seemingly hopeless case when matadors have been gored in the groin, where the horn often severs the femoral artery-the kind of wound that killed the great Manolete in 1947 in Linares, far from Don Luis's aid.

Two hours after the accident, he got to a hospital in Hattiesburg. Professionals tidied up his rough & ready surgery, and Creel was soon resting easily. Then he expressed his chief fear: that the amputation might make it harder for him to support his wife and baby...
