Vereecken has remained in a sterile isolation room at Ghent University Clinic, where for weeks he has been reading, watching TV and doing some wicker work. What is most striking, considering the radical nature of his operation, is that he has been able to get up and walk around his room. His most serious recent complaint has been stomach distress brought on by the heavy doses of drugs that he must take to suppress the immune mechanism by which his system might try to reject the graft. Derom ascribes the long survival of the graft to the unusually good match...
...still-unoccupied deep-sea habitat, and Aquanaut Berry L. Cannon, 33, and two companions were sent below to make repairs. They descended to the 610-ft. level in a pressurized personnel transfer capsule (PTC) and were opening a hatch to enter Sealab when Navy officers watching a TV monitor on the surface saw Cannon begin to thrash about. "I saw his body jackknifing, making a rapid motion," says Captain George Bond, Sealab's chief medical officer. "Any time you see rapid motion in a diver, you know he's in trouble." Cannon died before he could be brought...
...version of Frans Hals' "St. Adrian Militia Company," which hangs in a downtown Manhattan bar (above, with artist seated second from the left), is surrounded by a white line so that the staid, 17th century Dutchmen appear to be figures on a television screen. Clarke thus suggests that TV's ubiquitous eye has changed everybody's way of seeing reality. Vancouver's Iain Baxter burlesques famous artists by carrying their pictorial trademarks to logical extremes. By adding ribbons to his copy of Kenneth Noland's "And Again," he has created an authentic Baxter (shown with...
...myriad imitators of television's Meet The Press were to be given a generic name, they might well be called Spivaks (after Lawrence, the host, of course). This year yet another species of the genus Spivak - the Novak, it might be labeled - was launched on 15 Metromedia TV and radio stations and eight public-TV channels. Titled The Evans-Novak Report, the program is run by a regular two-man press panel, Columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak. Unlike most of the other spin-offs from Meet The Press, it does offer at least one new wrinkle: during...
...Ragni and James Rado destroy it by tipping their hats to the Times Square crowd. All of a sudden the chorus hippies are yelling out a catalogue of hallucinatory cliches ("Red Light! White light. Your skin is soft!")--and the music descends into vulgarized pop-isms reminiscent of that TV monstrosity Hullabaloo. Why? Presumably to give the uninitiated segment of the audience a quick primer in drug-visions, and in terms and comfortable rock-beat music they can understand. The result is a composition that offers something for everybody, but ecstasy...
