...send federally recruited, federally paid teachers into the nation's worst slum schools came into being in 1965, almost as an afterthought to a larger education bill. Congress left the program's gruel bowl empty of dollars until the following year, then handed it a subsistence diet that was due to run out last week and seemed most unlikely to be replenished...
...Wants. The hippie philosophy also borrows heavily from Henry David Thoreau,* particularly in the West Coast rural communes, where denizens try to live the Waldenesque good life on the bare essentials-a diet of turnips and brown rice, fish and bean curd -thus refuting the consumerism of "complicating wants" essential to the U.S. economy. Historically, the hippies go all the way back to the days of Diogenes and the Cynics (curiously, no rock combo has yet taken the name), who were also bearded, dirty and unimpressed with conventional logic...
Ironically, the Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Irvine H. Page, 66, (TIME cover, Oct. 31, 1955), who served as chairman of the Diet-Heart Committee, was unable to present its report to the A.M.A. convention. Though he has kept slim, exercised often and followed his own low-fat regimen for years, he was recovering, in Cleveland Clinic Hospital, from a mild heart attack...
...loss of hearing with aging results largely from clogging and hardening of the minute arteries nourishing the ear. If so, it may be possible to detect future victims of heart disease early in life by a simple, though sensitive, hearing test. Finns aged 10 to 29, on high-fat diets, suffer hearing loss earlier than young Yugoslavs or Cretans, on low-fat diets. To find out whether the pattern holds for the U.S., Dr. Rosen is studying New York City schoolchildren and their parents. If a simple hearing test does indeed give early warning of heart disease, he said...
...some time that a good number of them could prolong their lives by changing their eating habits-but proving the proposition was another matter. One reason: nobody knew whether it was possible to persuade a sufficient number of men leading normal lives to go on a low-fat diet and stick to it. At last week's A.M.A. meeting, the Executive Committee on Diet and Heart Disease reported after a long-term pilot project involving 2,000 men aged 45 to 54 that it was indeed possible. The next step, said the committee, is to seek more conclusive proof...
