Fresh clues pointing to causes of heart disease appear regularly, and new styles in preventive medicine follow inevitably.

More recently, physicians have concentrated on cholesterol and other fats. Now they have tracked down another apparent culprit...

Clark missed that by being ahead of the pack. But speed did him no good when the tread peeled off a tire at 150 m.p.h. and the left rear wheel of his Lotus collapsed. Old Indy hands had to admire the way the "sporty-car" driver from Scotland held his bucking car steady and braked it to a stop on the infield...
