Their green coveralls were soaked through with sweat; it was more than 140° in their compartment. They faced a nerve-shredding test of their...
Prissana and Napit Polpinyo, the Siamese twins from Thailand who were separated a month ago at Chicago's Billings Hospital (TIME, April 11), were learning to walk straight ahead by themselves instead of sidewise in tandem, as they had when they were joined at the abdomen. Their recovery after the successful operation was probably speeded by the presence of their familiar nurse, Jirapon Karsemsak, who will soon return with them to Thailand...
