Zerbini announced that he had a re ipient, Joao Ferreira da Cunha, four weeks ago. Last week providence provided an unidentified victim of a traffic accident. The prospective donor's eyes were dilated and his breathing was labored-but his heart was still beating. Zerbini had the victim wheeled to an operating room; tissue tests determined that he was a suitable donor. After the electroencephalograph showed that all brain waves had stopped, they opened the victim's chest-even though the heart was still beating. One hour and 25 minutes later, the heart stopped, and two surgical teams...
Last week the Brazilian Indians' plight caused a worldwide outcry that may just save them from extinction. Newspapers from Rio de Janeiro to Paris and Washington focused on their problems. An open letter asking help for the Indians was sent to Brazilian President Arthur da Costa e Silva by a group of French anthropologists, including Claude Levi-Strauss, who set forth his philosophy of structuralism in Tristes Tropiques, which he wrote after studying the Brazilian Indian (TIME Essay, June 30, 1967).

...Aria da Capo (literal translation: song from the top of the head.) by Edna St. Vincent Millary trifles elegantly around the theme of deceit--and so succeeds in shocking. Peopled by the likes of the menacing Colthurnus (David Palmer) the phantom prompter of the play-within-the-play and the stock, intuitively and irrepressibly daft Pierrot and Columbine figures, played by Jeffrey Blum and Lorraine James, of the play-without-the-play, the production seemed to slow down irreparably midway through. But Dean Ahmed, directing, manages to frame an unexpected climax to end the play on a note of crotchety...
