...have more peace of mind than I've ever known," exulted jade-eyed Cinemactress Gene Tierney last fall, serene after eight months of psychiatric care at Kansas' famed Menninger Clinic (TIME, Sept. 29). Last week 20th Century-Fox sadly announced that Actress Tierney would not be able to report next month for work on what was to be her first picture since 1955's The Left Hand of God. Of her own volition, she had re-entered the clinic for further treatment...
...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.

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...
Medical students with normal blood patterns were fed the cottonseed oil diet from the clinic's kitchens for three weeks, and showed consistent drops in their circulating cholesterol-a clue as to whether the system is being overloaded with fat. Patients with atherosclerosis-some with diabetes or high blood pressure, and some who had already had heart attacks-were kept on the diet for as long as eight months, usually with home cooking. In every case their abnormally high cholesterol levels showed a gratifying drop...
...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...
