...moved along as one-the Yale bow stubbornly clinging to the Harvard stern - until beyond the three-mile mark. There Yale made a courageous challenge, moved up almost neck & neck with the smooth-moving Harvard boat. But the spurt was not good enough. The crimson crew, with its short leg & arm stroke taught them by Washington-trained Tom Bolles, made its first spurt of the day, darted over the finish line-victor by a little over a length...
...last century. Ritta & Christina born at Sassari, Italy in 1829, waked & slept, laughed & wept diversely, and caused religious people of the time to debate "whether she had two souls or one." Another Italian, Giovanni & Giacomo, born at Locarno in 1877, could not walk because each head controlled only the leg on its side of the common body.

When in 1927 he had to have a leg amputated-it had been frozen in his last Greenland expedition-it looked as if Freuchen would have to take things easier. Informal, he stomped around the house on his peg leg, wore his artificial limb only when he went out in society. But soon he was going stronger than ever.

...body and placed in the Lindbergh pump as patients are placed in a hospital. Then they could be treated far more energetically than within the organism, and if cured replanted in the patient. A thyroid extirpated in the course of an operation ... a kidney removed for tuberculosis, or a leg amputated for osteosarcoma, would perhaps heal under the influence of an artificial medium when living in vitro. The replantation would offer no difficulty, as surgical techniques for the suture of blood vessels and the transplantation of organs and limbs were developed long ago." In effect, Dr. Carrel, with the Lindbergh...
Eleven years ago Emil Marek lost a leg. This was not the hard luck it might have seemed, for it enabled him to collect $42,875 in insurance to finance an invention. The invention failed and not long afterward he fell ill and died. In fairly rapid succession, so did his 3-year-old daughter, Ingeborg; an aunt, Suzanne Loewenstein; and the family seamstress, Anna Kittenberger. In each case Mrs. Martha Marek was in close attendance. Last week in Vienna a horrified Nazi judge put an end to Frau Marek's ghastly livelihood...
