Perhaps the most forbiddingly difficult of DeBakey's aneurysm cases involved a man of 38 with a dissecting aneurysm that began in the chest cavity above the diaphragm and had not only grown in width but had also extended downward through the diaphragm, making a wide split where there is normally a tight fit. Worse still, the splitting of the arterial walls extended into parts of four branch arteries-the two renals, supplying both kidneys; the mesenteric, supplying much of the intestines; and the celiac, supplying the stomach, liver and spleen. Using a graft with six connections, Dr. DeBakey...
...Stab in the Back." Minister of Lands Charles Percival de Silva, 52, who had helped found the Freedom Party, protested the admission of the Trotskyites, but reported that Mrs. Bandaranaike assured him "she wouldn't change the policies of her husband by so much as the width of the stamen of a mustard flower."

Most of the time, though, Ford scatters his beleaguered redskins listlessly across a 70-mm. Super Panavision landscape, showing twice the width but little of the scope that distinguished such Ford classics as Stagecoach.

When they are not struggling with the white man's words...
...than to $50 billion." To emphasize his point that lower spending did not mean less preparedness, McNamara announced that Johnson had approved an extra $157 million to begin development of a mammoth new military cargo transport plane, the CX. About as long as a hockey rink and double the width of a moving van, the C-X would carry up to 600 troops and their equipment-a total payload of 250,000 Ibs. It should be operational by 1969, said McNamara, and plans call for ordering 58 of them at an eventual cost of $1 billion. Concluded he: "This will...
