...heart's arteries, developed at the Cleveland Clinic by Dr. F. Mason Sones Jr. Relying on these, two of the Clinic's surgeons, Dr. Donald B. Effler and Dr. Rene Favaloro, have performed 51 operations of a new and promising type. They cut out the diseased segment of the coronary artery itself. Then they replace it with a graft. But unlike the transplant surgeons, Dr. Effler's team has no worry about rejection because it gets the graft material from one of the patient's own saphenous veins (in the thigh). Two of these patients died...
...were also puzzled by the scholars' "feeling that the moderate segment of the academic community must now be heard, lest other voices be mistaken for the majority sentiment." The implication--that those who are deeply dissatisfied with American policies in Asia are only a minority--is clearly untrue, at least in this part of the academic community; to prove it untrue was precisely the purpose of the Ad Hoc Committee on Vietnam. We find it ironic that Professor Reischauer should be endorsing such statements in one place while attempting to disprove them in another. Besides, even if the contention were...

...Rarely had the voices of dissent been raised so loud, or carried so far, or trained on so many issues. The young formed the sword's point of protest students on a thousand campuses, Negroes in a hundred ghettos, hippies in their psychedelic enclaves. But there was hardly a segment of society that seemed immune to the disaffection. Housewives were alarmed by growing grocery bills, farmers by tumbling prices for their produce, parents by their alienated children, city dwellers by the senseless violence around them...
What William James called the "rich thicket of reality" is thoroughly explored in this book, which is subtitled "Thoughts During a Useless Time." Its author, Paul Goodman, is a novelist, poet, essayist, psychologist and social critic whose book Growing Up Absurd gave him guru status with a large segment of American youth. Five Years is a self-analytical journal of random thoughts, jotted down from 1955 to 1960, when Goodman was between 45 and 50 years old. It is a ruthlessly honest confession in the manner of Rousseau: Goodman recounts how he scrounged for food, sex and love while materially...
