...cautious in its repression of quack cures and unsafe medicines that it is in some danger of stamping out or at least slowing the development of new drugs. The latest report is by two pharmacologists from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. The current laws, argue Drs. William Wardell and Louis Lasagna in a new study titled Regulation and Drug Development, are so strict that they actually inhibit the development of new drugs.

Critics of the Berkeley study are likely to insist that diet still cannot be discounted as a cause of coronaries. But researchers like Drs. Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman, cardiologists from San Francisco's Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center, find that the study's conclusions support the theory espoused by their book, Type A Behavior and Your Heart (TIME, April 15, 1974).

Doctors had assumed that Suzette Marie Creppel, 17, would eventually have to undergo open-heart surgery to correct an atrial septal defect-a hole in the wall separating the two upper chambers of her heart. But Drs. Terry King and Noel Mills of the Ochsner Foundation Hospital decided to try to plug the leak with two tiny, round patches-and without surgery...
