Helmholz prepares for his singe jobs like a surgeon before an operation. Each customer gets a thorough workup, with the results-tensile strength, absorption factor and elasticity of hair-printed on special reference cards. Says Helmholz: "We leave nothing to chance." Then the hair is washed and scissor-trimmed by aides, after which Helmholz himself arrives, torch in hand. Moving it from right to left across the customer's head, using a comb as a baffle, he burns off a few strands at a time, starting at the front of the crown and working down to the earlobes...
...result, researchers are stepping up the hunt for a better way. One of these is Surgeon-Immunologist Felix Rapaport of the New York University Medical Center, who became the Transplantation Society's new president-elect last week. Prior to implanting new kidneys in beagles, he has been removing some of their bone marrow-the site, along with the lymph nodes, of white-blood-cell production-and irradiating the dogs. The X rays destroy the ability of the remaining bone marrow and lymphoid tissue to produce white blood cells. Then he reinjects the marrow cells, thus restoring the animal...
Died. Juscelino Kubitschek, 73, imaginative', popular former President of Brazil (1956-61), who built Brasilia, a new concrete-and-glass capital in the desolate interior, in order to hasten Brazil's northern development; in an automobile accident; near Rio de Janeiro.

Haskell Jr., a wealthy sportsman himself (yachting, hunting) and former mayor of Wilmington, Del., who is also A. & F.'s largest stockholder, brought in a corporate surgeon. He is Geoffrey Swaebe, 65, a British-born retailing executive who made his reputation running Los Angeles' May Co., a part of the big St. Louis-based department store chain, in the 1960s and early 1970s. Swaebe quit as May's president four years ago to freelance...
Heroic Effort. Instead, the doctors could wage a heroic effort to save him. From the start, Chief Surgeon Joseph Wilder's special team-nine surgeons, three anesthetists and six nurses-realized that the abdominal wound was the worst; the removal of another bullet lodged in Rojas's temple could wait. Deftly cutting away, Surgeon Mulji Pauwaa removed the ruptured spleen. Then, after locating the bullet-which somehow had twisted around-he removed it, thereby restoring the leg's blood supply. Meanwhile, other members of the team sopped up the blood that had accumulated in the chest cavity...
