...scheduled programs and read abstracts of important papers to be delivered. He, and other medical reporters, also benefited from advance briefings in lay language by key scheduled speakers, and had a chance to cross-question them. And so, from California, Cant cabled four stories-a controversy over freezing the stomach to lessen ulcer pains, the results of a remarkable Red Chinese surgical operation, the use of a pump to relieve a diseased heart, and a bowel operation to lower the blood's content of cholesterol. These stories, edited and checked in New York, are on top of the week...

While his mates knock heads on the field this fall, Hornung will be riding high on the banquet circuit, raking in money from endorsements and jamming radio and TV programs. Barring an upset stomach or laryngitis, he should make more than $40,000 this year-only a slight comedown from last year's $50,000 total...
