...world's lowest heart-disease rates; coronaries yearly claim only 92 out of every 100,000 of the country's males. Most medical researchers have long been convinced that the difference is dietary: the traditional fish-and-rice diet of the Japanese is much lower in fat content than the meat, dairy and fried-food menu favored by Americans. But a new study by researchers from the University of California at Berkeley seems to show that the difference is largely cultural, not culinary. The findings indict stress, American-style, as a major cause of coronaries...

...other economists derided "Cassandras" who are forecasting a shortage and concluded that "we can afford the future, but just barely." The Duesenberry study contends that Government can be counted upon to come to the rescue: by running big budget surpluses, the Treasury can create enough funds to finance a fat list of investments, including the building of a needed 25 million new homes by 1985. But can it? The idea that Government can overcome political pressures for heavy spending and run huge surpluses, argues U.S. Trust Vice Chairman James O'Leary, is "a lot of nonsense...
