...east side, in the Berkeley campus' Donner Laboratory, Dr. John Gofman leans to the theory that giant cholesterol molecules are to blame (TIME, June 5, 1950). Now, from the University's School of Medicine on the west side, comes strong evidence to the contrary. Cholesterol, according to Drs. Henry D. Moon and James F.

...year-old woman who went to Boston's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital complaining of palpitations and a "smothering sensation" had nothing wrong with her heart. Drs. W. Proctor Harvey and Samuel A. Levine ordered psychiatric treatment for her. Then the patient volunteered to test the effect of a drug (amyl nitrite) on heart sounds.

Purtell began their study, they thought it would be easy to find patients because their colleagues spoke of there being a few hysterical men in every hospital. This, it soon developed, was not so. The "hysterical" men actually had diseases ranging from epilepsy to cancer and poliomyelitis. In fact, for a long time the three researchers could find no men in a civilian hospital whose illness fitted the definition of hysteria. So they turned to military and veterans' hospitals...
