...soon as he could, after a tour of duty as a platoon leader at Fort Campbell, Ky., Carpenter volunteered for duty in Viet Nam. The year was 1963, and there were only 12,000 U.S. troops in that country at the time. An adviser to a South Vietnamese unit, Carpenter saw plenty of action, and came back to the U.S. with the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, a Purple Heart and two wounds inflicted by the Viet Cong...
Fogged-Up Experiment. After 55 minutes, and just as Gemini passed over the dark side of the earth, Cernan moved into position to prepare for his Buck Rogers-like flight in the jet-powered Astronaut Maneuvering Unit (AMU), stowed in the equipment section on Gemini's tail end. Struggling mightily, he pulled off the AMU's thermal cover, which had not been automatically jettisoned as planned after Gemini passed through the atmosphere on its way into orbit. Working with a check list calling for 32 separate operations, he began testing the AMU's propulsion and oxygen systems...

At the House lunches, girls from each of the three dormitories tend to congregate at separate tables. The Houses have made possible certain events -- speeches and faculty dinners -- which would be difficult to maintain on as large a scale by individual dormitories. The hope that they will magically arouse...
Because finger nerves are too small for grafting, the transplanted digit has little or no sensation, and there is not much flexion at its joints. The new finger must be moved as a unit from the knuckle. This is no great drawback, particularly for thumb grafts, which have enabled patients to pick up and use tools, a pen, a spoon or a glass...
