...heart disease. The reverse is not true, the Canadian Medical Association Journal complained last week. Political ideology apparently is more potent than scientific solidarity. It quoted a Soviet internist, Professor I. Gurevitch, as writing in Klinicheskaya Meditsina that the campaign to reduce fats in the diet is a capitalist plot-"advantageous to the ruling classes, who are at present engaged in lowering the living standard of the masses, in lowering their wages and in raising the price of food and particularly of fat.

Retorted U.S. Ambassador Riddleberger: "I had some personal experience with Soviet efforts to act from a position of strength. I was in Berlin during the blockade."

Tall and slim (5 ft. 11 in., 175 Ibs.) with frosty blue eyes and arctic white hair, he dresses like Daddy Warbucks (blue suits, grey Homburg) and resides in manorial splendor on huge farms (champion Shorthorn beef cattle) in Ohio and Nova Scotia.
