...crusaders for what the profession calls "left ventriculography," Drs. Dotter and Gensini believe that the technique is safe enough to be used in a physician's office. Some cardiologists believe it still advisable to have the patient in a hospital.

For the exterior walls, he devised a method of rubblestone construction that would do away with expensive hand labor. Stones varying in size from three to eight inches are placed in wood forms; then cement mortar is pumped in through hoses. Before the cement has completely set, the wall surface is hosed off to expose the stones. The result Saarinen compares...
