Hurricane forecasting compared to tightrope walking says Miami expert
Miami's National Hurricane Center director Dr. Robert Simpson warns that over warning dulls public response while under warning endangers lives. He cites $2 million in costs per warning and notes 24 hour to 12 hour forecast accuracy, plus research on Camille deaths among residents who stayed. He urges dramatic warnings and more shelters to handle coastal influx and evacuation limits.

A University of Utah team led by Dr. Willem Kolff kept a 200-pound calf alive 260 hours with a silastic artificial heart designed by Clifford Kwan Gette and implanted by Dr. James Kawai.
