...until death, by far the heaviest output is among women who are old enough to bear children. From early teens to the early 50s, women have a negligible incidence of heart attacks as compared with men. After the menopause, a woman's immunity gradually fades until, about the age of 75, she is statistically as susceptible to heart attacks as a man. If it is indeed the estrogens that confer middle-life immunity, can it be prolonged by taking estrogen tablets-and can men get this benefit without taking doses big enough to feminize them...
...School of Medicine. Red-haired and vivacious at 60, Dr. Jessie Marmorston reported last week on 174 women (many over 70) who had had one or more heart attacks-in nearly every case a coronary occlusion. She divided them into two equal groups, matched as precisely as possible for age and severity of symptoms. One-half got a small daily dose (ten-millionths of a gram) of estrogen, the rest got none. After three years, more than twice as many in the nonestrogen group had died-virtually all from fresh heart attacks or general worsening of the disease...
...good news from the 31 contractors who employ them: a new contract with an hourly boost of about 30?. But just before they signed,Joseph Frederick, local president for 25 years, had an unusual idea. Among them, his 1,300 men have 2,436 children; 94 are of college age. but only 21 are in college. Why not forgo the wage hike, start a college fund for members' children? The men voted in favor unanimously: the employers enthusiastically agreed to kick in a 3% payroll tax. Result: $15,000 annually for four scholarships at Adelphi College, with more likely...
...step toward integrating Atlanta's segregated schools was taken last week by U.S. District Judge Frank A. Hooper. After declaring segregation illegal, he granted an injunction against discrimination in the schools, whose 67,000 white and 46,000 Negro students are 10% of Georgia's school-age children. Carefully, Georgia-born Judge Hooper did not order integration by next September; he ordered the city's board of education to submit a plan within a "reasonable" time. He had reason for caution: arch-segregationist Georgia already has a ticklish law allowing Governor S. Ernest Vandiver to close integrated...
...Seymour Lipton, is both warning and challenge. "I was thinking of Isaiah," Lipton explains. "The work suggests a strident person, a gesture of stepping forward. But the work is also a challenge to the observer to become involved in a whole new language of form belonging to the present age." The U.S.'s new sculpture has indeed developed a provocative new vocabulary if not a language of form. But a vocabulary is not a work of art. So far, the new sculpture seems only a vernacular, still in search of its first master user-and its first masterpiece...
