...operation's aftermath came the shocking discovery that Mrs. Lowman, mother of two children, had been born with only one kidney. Now she had none-and no human can stay alive without a kidney. Surgeon Reese's next swift decision was to transfer her to Boston's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, where he knew that a medical team could keep her alive temporarily with an artificial kidney. Armco Steel Corp., which employs two of her brothers, flew Mrs. Lowman and Dr. Reese to Boston at once in a company...
...easier for poorer countries to borrow, and, through the use of local currencies provide a double stimulus to the borrower's economy. As a device for the complete internationalization of foreign aid, however, its effectiveness is doubtful. Russia is not a member of the World Bank, and therefore the transfer of United States aid effort to the IBRD and the I.D.A. would simply mean that aid competition would now pit the Western alliance (instead of the United States alone) against Russia...

The promising golfer is named Nate Goldstein. He is a Negro...
...great days (Manhattan Transfer, U. S. A.)Author Dos Passos, whatever his prejudices, could be literarily convincing, but in this book little of that gift shows itself. As a writer who has come a long way, from left-wing radicalism to earnest antiCommunism, Dos Passos makes clear Ro Lancaster's political displacement but not his personal disintegration. Sketches of Washington days that were both bracing and silly, a caricature of a monumentally pompous pundit, are apt yet perfunctory. Fortunately, time has not weakened Author Dos Passes' power to describe places and incidents. The Great Days has fine sketches...
