First Donovan and his six associates spent nearly three weeks X-raying Enrique and subjecting him to a battery of tissue and blood tests in order to determine the deformity's extent. X-ray examinations showed that the incomplete twin consisted of a second pelvis fused to the front of Enrique's own pelvis, plus a partial extra bladder. The pictures also disclosed that the growth was not connected to Enrique's spine or nervous system; indeed, Enrique had never been known to move or show feeling in the appendage, though it made up one-quarter...
Silver Clips. Donovan's team cut around the appendage, taking out the arteries that supplied blood to the incomplete twin. After that, they found to their relief that the removal would not impair the patient's circulation. They next separated and took out the duplicate bladder. Then, after marking the limits of Enrique's own pelvis with silver clips, they cut away the extra pelvis and hip joints and removed the growth. The procedure left ample skin flaps for suturing...

But last week, in the inexplicable pattern that seems to govern such disasters, two airliners went down, one on each coast, killing a total of 78 persons. Twenty-eight of them died when an Allegheny Airlines twin jet crashed in a swamp near Connecticut's Tweed-New Haven Airport. Another 50 were killed in the collision of a Hughes Air West DC-9 and a Navy F-4 Phantom jet over California's San Gabriel Mountains...

With help from a team of nine Israelis, the two cooperatives have reached a point where they now produce 500,000 eggs monthly...

Kelly is the obvious choice for the opener coming off his superb shutout performance against Cornell to give Harvard the Eastern League title. Collins has a 6-1 record and, although tailing off as of late, came back to overpower B. U. last week and earn a starting...
