Eight

Dr

famed
for
his
open
heart
surgery
and
kidney
transplants
Inventor
of
a
mechanical
kidney
and
holder
of
many
firsts
in

took
the
unorthodox
step
of
produc
producing

at
an
open

a
paralysed
patient
he
said
he
had
enabled
to
stand

move
his
arms
through
surgery
that
never
before
had

Dr
Murray
said
his
operation
consisted
of
-
ytny
the
spinal

removing
three
quarters
of
an

where
it
was
dam
damaged

aged
and
rejoining

The

before
it

that
Dr

I

On

I

I

AFTER
FOUR
YEARS
WASHINGTON
AP

The

cheering
and
President
John
F
Kennedy
w
as
the
most
popular
figure
in
America
when
he
was
shot
to

Is

almost
legendary

Bu
so
much
has
happened
since
that
day
it
is
as
if
Kennedy
had
died
in
another
age
Nothing

this
better
than

In
the
na
national

tional
mood
since
Nov
22
1963
and
in
the
difference
between
the
attitude
toward
Kennedy
then
and
the

President
Johnson
Kennedy

election
by
a
thread
in
1060
and
In
three
years
had
become
a
national
Idol
Johnson
overwhelmingly
won
election
on
his
own
in
1064
but
this
week
a
public
opinion
poll
reported
confi
confidence

at
an

low
There

grace
and
eloquence
he

by
16000000
votes

great
confidence
and
hope
In

118500
votes
What
went
wrong0
Above
all
things
the
war
In
Vietnam
At
the
time
Kennedy
died
the
United

15
500

Ironically

The
witless
assassination
ot
Kennedy
may
have
set
off
some
of
the
explosive
contempt
for
law
and
order
that
followed
But
Johnson
has
been
on
the
receiving
end
of
It
all
Jf
Kennedy
had
lived
and
been
re
ejected
and
If
there
was
no
war
by
now
he
might
have
set
up
a
stunning
record
He
didnt
do
It
while
he
was

In
the
main
prob

lem
of
his
time
which
was

major
legislation
through
Congress
he
wasnt
in
the
same
league
with
John
Johnson
�
son
When
then
all
the
adoration
of
Kennedy
There
are
some
likely
reasons
A
sentimental
one
a
regret
for
a
shining
young
man
shut
out
of
life
so
early
the
