...largest plurality New Haven has ever given any candidate, national or local: 41,694 votes. Dick Lee, 41, onetime Yale public-relations man (but not a Yale grad), took three tries to get into city hall, but has made so much of the job once there that-with his fat victory margin-he has now become the front runner for the Democratic senatorial nomination next year. Possible drawback: a serious case of stomach ulcers. ¶ In Detroit (pop. 1,905,000), once racked by racial hate, Democratic Lawyer William T. Patrick Jr., 37, became the first Negro member of Detroit...
...complaint, but a great many U.S. women seem agitated about it, some to the point of severe neurosis. In San Francisco last week, the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was divided over the desirability of a drastic remedy: surgery to pad out the breasts, using either body fat or a spongelike synthetic...
...Gustave Aufricht, 63, was amused by what he regards as a current fad for big breasts, because in the early days of his practice, in the 1920s, an equally common problem was the reverse-how to reduce large breasts.* Now, to make bosoms bigger, he uses fat taken from the woman's own body (usually the buttocks, which many women are glad to have reduced anyway). Dr. Aufricht and his colleagues at Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital will have nothing to do with a patient who shows signs of emotional disturbance...
...were emotionally upset by what Dr. Edgerton called "a local anatomical fixation" on their small breasts, though he had them screened by a psychiatrist to be sure that none had more deep-seated mental illnesses (an equal number were turned away on this score). Instead of natural fat, Dr. Edgerton used a form of built-in falsies made of a poly vinyl sponge called Ivalon. Checked by psychiatrists after their operations, all patients showed a reduction in their feelings of "inadequacy" and "depression," though one insisted on wearing outer falsies as well. Two later nursed their babies with no trouble...
...Radioactive evidence underlined the hotly debated importance of fats in the diet of patients with coronary atherosclerosis (narrowing of the heart's arteries by fatty deposits). A Philadelphia team headed by Dr. William Likoff fed volunteers a test meal containing radioactive fat. In normal subjects the fat concentration in the blood reached its peak in six hours, almost disappeared in 24 hours. In subjects with high blood levels of cholesterol, or with coronary disease, or with both, the fat reached a higher concentration in the blood, and much more of it remained there 24 hours later. The researchers...
