Died. Daisetz Suzuki, 95, one of Japan's leading philosophers and sages of Zen Buddhism; of a mesenteric thrombosis; in Tokyo. The mere act of trying to explain it is contrary to Zen, yet in lectures at Yale, Columbia and Harvard and in some 30 books in English (An Introduction to Zen Buddhism), Suzuki struggled tirelessly to instruct reason-worshiping Westerners in the Zen principle of suspending reason in order to gain a glimpse of eternity, profoundly influencing scores of intellectuals from Aldous Huxley to J. D. Salinger...
Fortunately, Heart Surgeon Earle B. Kay had a third technique ready to try. At St. Vincent Charity Hospital he had recently set up a bank of human heart valves removed from accident victims and waiting to be used in an ingenious manner developed by his associate, Dr. Akio Suzuki. Because mitral valves have proved unsatisfactory for transplants, Dr. Kay selected an aortic valve from the bank, turned it upside down so that it would permit blood flow in the proper direction, and stitched it in place. There was little danger of transplant rejection, because heart-valve tissue has a negligible...
Muscle Tunnel. Research surgical teams from two major medical centers told the College of Cardiology about new techniques based on the Vineberg principle but using different vessels to carry blood to the heart muscle. Cleveland's Dr. Earle B. Kay reported that he and Dr. Akio Suzuki cut out a piece of the left lung's arterial network with "a multitude of side branches," and sew the "trunk" end into the descending aorta. Then they implant the smaller branches in the heart muscle. The advantage of this method, which has so far been successful in four...
After it was extinguished in Spanish, a French version became innocuous, although Morton knows neither language. It was extinguished with Pat Suzuki as a vocalist and with Keeley Smith. Along with some other songs, Stardust was extinguished in just about every possible variation. In the process, most other noxious music was extinguished too. Now, after ten months of treatment, Donald Morton is getting ready to go back to work as a draftsman. He has innocuous tapes that he can play if he ever feels a seizure coming on. Today Donald Morton can even abide Abide With...
...bathtub. Throughout Tokyo today, where in working class neighborhoods up to 80% of the population still lacks private facilities, more than 1,600,000 men and women immerse themselves companionably every evening in the steaming vats of the city's 2,608 sento or public bathhouses. There Suzuki-san discusses the besuboru pennant race, and his wife, behind a flimsy partition (a late 19th century concession to Occidental prudery), catches up on the neighborhood gossip. The kids make the usual deafening racket but, as one sento enthusiast puts it knowingly, "When everybody is naked, camaraderie just naturally follows...
