...Giuseppe di Stefano. And Di Stefano feels the wind blowing against him. "If music cannot get people into the theater any more," says he, "it's time for us to pack up. If the public goes to La Scala to see how many bananas are hanging on a wall on the stage and not to hear the singers...
There are, in fact, only three malformations: instead of arising only from the left ventricle, the aorta has outlets from each ventricle; the pulmonary artery or valve is narrowed; there is a hole in the wall between the ventricles.

Youngest of three noted brothers, sons of Minneapolis Dentist C. I. Lillehei (still active in practice at 70): Heart Surgeon C. Walton Lillehei is 44; James, 38, specializes in lung physiology; Surgeon Richard...

...fertile mind of Minnesota's Wangensteen came the idea that chilling the stomach, by running a coolant solution through a swallowed balloon, might stop bleeding from ulcers in the stomach itself.

Although conservative Protestants generally prefer to see the wall between church and state kept high, the association this year issued a surprisingly moderate statement. It resolved that Christians are "citizens of two cities" who exist "in relation to the church and also in relation to the state. These two aspects may overlap but they do not coincide. Neither are they properly considered in conflict." The Evangelicals reaffirmed...
