...Rest and inactivity, once a cardiac lesion has healed, do not prolong life," say Drs. Marvin C. Becker and Jerome G. Kaufman of Newark's Beth Israel Hospital and Rutgers University's Wayne Vasey. In Circulation, published by the American Heart Association, they condemn too much rest as likely to lead to "physical and emotional incapacity." Physicians and family may be as much to blame as the heart patients themselves for fostering idleness. To rehabilitate a patient after an attack, the researchers suggest, "we must accept the philosophy that work is a normal part of living, and important...
...insurance as against $40 for a man in full health. The penalty drops with longevity: at 60, he may be paying only $15 to $20 additional. Last week, physicians for the Equitable Life Assurance Society listed four steps that may promote a cardiac's survival and insurability: cut down excess weight, blood cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking...

In Cha-Cha du Coeur, the heart sounds louder, its labors interrupted now and then by whispered "cha cha chas." The effect on the listener, noted France-Soir, was to create "a kind of obsession, almost anxiety." But Paris cats were buying the record briskly last week, and other record makers are sure to approach Model Guillenette with stethoscopes in hand; nobody, she said...
