...last week's A.M.A. Journal, a surgeon made a telling plea for a nationwide system of cancer detection clinics. Wrote the University of Minnesota's Owen H. Wangensteen: stomach cancer is so insidious and gives so little warning that every man over 50 and every woman over 40 should report to a clinic regularly for an X-ray checkup. To point up his argument, Dr. Wangensteen examined the case histories of five world-famed authorities (including Will Mayo, co-founder of the Mayo Clinic, and R. D. Carman, who developed an improved method for X-ray diagnosis...
...Sauerbruch went to Berlin's Charité Hospital as head of the surgical clinic and has been there ever since. He now insists that he thought all along that the Nazis were crazy. But he accepted three Nazi awards for his services-the title of Staatsrat (for doctoring President von Hindenburg), the German National Prize and a post as advisory surgeon to the Army during World War II.

The building (financed by $100,000 the brothers had chipped in) looked like a gleaming vision straight out of Arrowsmith. A two-story limestone affair of 68 rooms done in tile, birchwood and oak, with shiny new medical equipment, the clinic had been personally planned and its construction...
...first Sunday it was open, thousands upon thousands of Minnesotans and Wisconsinites, most of them patients and friends of 72-year-old Dr. William, came to inspect the clinic and attend Lutheran services inside. Its rooms were banked high with flowers from Winonans, whom the old doctor had attended for 51 years. The Heise boys beamed. Dr. William tried not to look too proud...
