Heart Pump Saves Patient After Breakthrough Implant
McCans of Woodinville Washington remains in the hospital's intensive care unit after a second test of a revolutionary left ventricular bypass pump designed by DeBakey. The device, used as a last resort, briefly replaced most heart function and allowed the heart to heal. A nearby coal miner, Marcel L. De Rudder, received a similar pump but died five days later from a collapsed lung. The surgery aimed to address lung congestion, and during the operation doctors found McCans' heart able to resume full pumping.

Dr McLucas noted the fatal shot could only be confirmed by ballistics, which were unavailable after the bullet passed through the sniper’s hand. The man known as Bicycle Pete, a reclusive resident of the mountains, is revealed as a schizophrenic with a police record dating to 1939 who killed Peggy Ann after a violent spree. Peggy Ann, chained during the assault, was listed in excellent condition at Fulton County Medical Center with limited communication until Friday.

Rebels report 27 Communist bodies near two outposts
Rebels counted 27 Communist bodies near Gio Linh and Con Thiem outposts as two South Vietnamese batta lions were sent as a reaction force. A forward air controller sighted a large Communist force and called in Marine fighter bombers. It was unclear if the Reds seen were part of that attack. The incursions marked the first sizable cross-border strike from the demilitarized zone. Farther south, batta lions of the Flying Horsemen fought heavy combat in the Vinh Thanh Valley, 275 miles north of Saigon, as Communists tried to strike a special forces camp.
