...Pentagon ceremony last week, a tall, grey-haired chemist received one of the U.S.'s highest civilian honors: the Distinguished Civilian Service Award. For Peter King, 49, now associate director of research for materials at the Navy's Washington, D.C. research laboratories, the medal had been a long while in coming: it was granted for a dramatic but generally unknown service performed eleven years...

His new theory, based on observations of thousands of patients: it is neither a simple excess...
...assault, Alexander King is startlingly wispy in physique and disarmingly gentle in manner. His droopy white mustache straggles for existence on a face that frequently crinkles with shrewd, sloe-eyed smiles. King (original name: Koenig) came to the U.S. just before World War I with his father, a research chemist, and a lovably scatterbrained mother...
