...Beecher had it easy as a poet. He became a printer in order to publish his own rejected verses. These poems may lack finish; they do not lack authority. "Strength," as Beecher himself points out, "is a matter of the made-up mind." Now Visiting Scholar at Duke, he is at work on his autobiography. It should be worth anticipating.

Arthur Simon of Duke University and Manning Feinleib of the National Heart and Lung Institute and Sociologist Angelo Alonzo of DePauw University. They base their conclusion on a year-long study of admissions to a single hospital in a suburb of Washington, D.C. During that period, 382 patients were brought to the hospital after complaining of symptoms of acute coronary disease; 138 of them were dead on arrival. By interviewing the surviving patients as well as the families of those who died...
