Concurring completely was Houston's Dr. Denton A. Cooley, who has seven recipients surviving. The only note of caution was sounded by Mississippi's Dr. James D. Hardy,*who said that it might take a while to persuade certain segments of the public that the procedure is morally permissible...
...they could do better. Why Cape Town? Explained Brooklyn's Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz: "Chris Barnard has been doing it better than all of us-that's why we are here." Barnard's aura was rivaled by the authority of Houston's Dr. Denton Cooley, who has three surviving patients, including one who is going back to work...
Eight surgeons on four continents have now performed heart transplants, but the one who stepped most prominently last week from under the nonglare lights of his operating theater into the spotlight of world attention was a tall Texan. Denton Arthur Cooley, 47. The mere fact that Dr. Cooley did three heart transplants within five days was a notable achievement.

Denton, U.S.N. 485087, U.S.S. Independence. Sorrowfully admitting his "vicious, revolting crimes" in bombing "the innocent people and civilian buildings of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam," the recorded confession continued: "The brave and determined workers of an antiaircraft battery shot down my aircraft." The tape went on to heap praise on "the kindness of heart of the Vietnamese government and people." It made Commander Denton sound just like the boy next door...
