...continuing controversy over the importance of fats as a cause of artery disease, heart attacks and strokes, no investigator has been more conservative than the Cleveland Clinic's Research Director Irvine H. Page (TIME Cover, Oct. 31, 1955), onetime president of the American Heart Association. In 1957 he joined other A.H.A. bigwigs in insisting that the evidence to date does not justify a major change in national eating habits. But now in the A.M.A. Journal, Dr. Page describes a revision in eating habits that he suggests is worth a wide-scale trial. If it pans out, physicians might start...
...Large Appetites. In the clinic's rigidly controlled tests, the cottonseed oil was a special brand that could be used as a spread on bread and emulsified in a blender with nonfat milk solids to make "milk," "cream" or "ice cream," thus permitting a normally varied menu. But this was a matter of taste and convenience, not medical necessity. The ordinary commercial oils, say Drs. Page and Brown, "are excellent for cooking and baking"; also, "two or three teaspoons added to each serving of a low-fat food convert it to a satisfying, flavorful product." Large appetites...
...Blinded from drinking denatured alcohol, he had been expelled from his tribe because he could no longer earn his keep. He began babbling incredible stories about men being kidnaped and killed by creatures that were not exactly crocodiles, not exactly men. Not far away, another native limped into the clinic of a European doctor. He had been on the river in his pirogue, he said, when its bow was seized by the powerful jaws of a crocodile and the boat overturned. While he desperately swam for the shore, the crocodile ripped at his flesh. The doctor refused to believe...
...held all of Minnesota's top offices. The D.F.L. took a stand on a coalition platform of "sincere liberalism" that ranged (and still ranges) from high, rigid price supports for farmers to high unemployment insurance for labor, etc. Humphrey tramped the University of Minnesota, Rochester's Mayo Clinic, even high schools, recruited promising young liberals, put them to work in the tightly disciplined D.F.L. organizations and marked the comers as future candidates. Humphrey was elected to the Senate in 1948; Sidekick Orville Freeman won the governorship...
...emotional, they agree that he may find help among his own people. In effect, they are referring him to a medicine man. And as mutual understanding improves, they are delighted to find that a nidilniihi, like other native diagnosticians, is more likely to refer patients direct to the clinic, bypassing the chishiji and similar sings. The medicine men, more and more, are admitting themselves to PHS hospitals to get white man's magic for illnesses which, they recognize, they cannot cure themselves. The Many Farms clinic itself has a dual tie with the divinities of healing: its Hippocratic directors...
