Across the street in Charity Hospital, other surgeons made an incision in Davis' right flank. They implanted the chimp's ureters in Davis' bladder, and made artery and vein connections. Within ten minutes after the hookup, Adam's kidneys began to purify Davis' blood and produce urine...
Only six days after he was released from Dallas' Parkland Hospital, Texas Governor John Connolly, 46, was back in, this time at Austin's St. David's Community Hospital, with an inflammation of the vein in his right leg through which he had been fed intravenously while recovering from wounds suffered during the President's assassination.

But now, Dr. Elton Watkins Jr., inventive director of surgical research at Boston's Lahey Clinic, has devised a compact, clockwork-driven pump that weighs only three-fourths of a pound and can be hung...
