Equally striking is the contrast between the resiliency of many older men after a heart attack and the way in which younger men may succumb. A noted example last week was Cinemactor John Hodiak, 41, who seemed in excellent health-he had just passed an insurance examination-but had a quickly fatal attack while shaving. There are undoubtedly many cases in which a younger man will be killed simply because his disease is new while an older man with slowly developing disease will already have compensated, through collateral circulation, for a shutdown in an artery of the same size...

Yet in extending room hours to 11 p.m. for ordinary weekends three years ago, the Masters undertook a similar risk, and the results have been encouraging. In sharp contrast to the dire predictions of the Faculty, few students have abused their new privilege. Undergraduates have shown that they are capable of responsible social behavior on ordinary Saturdays. They deserve the Faculty's confidence on football weekends...
