Eight surgeons on four continents have now performed heart transplants, but the one who stepped most prominently last week from under the nonglare lights of his operating theater into the spotlight of world attention was a tall Texan. Denton Arthur Cooley, 47. The mere fact that Dr. Cooley did three heart transplants within five days was a notable achievement. To Cooley himself, this was incidental and to some extent accidental-the timing of transplants depends on having suitable donors and recipients available simultaneously. The operations, says Cooley, are technically less difficult than many other open-heart procedures, of which...
...fogs and swirling mists during ten months of the year. Some 25 miles long, the valley floor is 2,000 ft. above sea level. The jagged, spiny peaks on either side rise 5,000 ft. to 6,000 ft. and are covered with a triple-canopy jungle 100 ft. tall.

...scene I witnessed at Umuahia's Queen Elizabeth Hospital following the air raid was repeated in nearly every Biafran town I visited. Under tall shade trees outside an already filled mortuary lay a score of corpses, including pregnant women and months-old babies, charred, disfigured and mangled. Amid the tearful cries of keening women, workers carried into the morgue mashed human fragments piled on stretchers, and limbs and torsos balanced on shovels. The next morning, clutching handkerchiefs over nose and mouth against the stench and carrying freshly sawed unpainted wood coffins, the families lined up patiently under the trees...
Though other companies have joined the race for the ladies' hot-curler rod, Bybjerg's enterprise is far ahead of the pack. Today Carmen Curler has a daily capacity of 20,000 sets and employs 850, including 20 vice presidents-all over six feet tall, since Bybjerg believes "a manager must fill the door...
