Innovator: Toronto urologist Dr. Mel Sutton worked painstakingly for three years to perfect the microscoop he displays here. The delicate surgical tool offers new hope to men who've been sterilized by vasectomy operations, but now want families, by taking the uncertainly out of the reversal operation and making it an easier task for surgeons.

Relaxing in Venetian splendor of their formal living room are Victor Biasi and Richard, 10. Because Victor has lived in Venice most of his life, practically all the furniture in the room has been imported from Italy.
