Then bedlam broke loose. A dozen detractors wanted the floor to attack Dr. Asian's work and condemn it as quackery. She had one defender, Manhattan's Dr. Osias Leon Friedman, who insisted disdainfully that the Brooklyn doctors had not been using the right kind of procaine. Dr. Gitman retorted angrily that before they began their test, his research team had tried to buy the drug from Dr. Asian herself, to be sure it was the same material, and she had turned them down cold...

What factors are suspected of contributing to Western man's soaring death rate from heart and artery disease? Personality and behavior are emerging as increasingly .important. This week San Francisco's Dr. Meyer Friedman told the American Heart Association in Philadelphia of a link connecting an individual's behavior in a stressful occupation, through hormone channels, to the vital arteries that supply the heart. In the report, go-getters come off with a poor prognosis...
Internist Friedman and Partner Ray Rosenman had already shown that hard-driving editors, ad men, sales managers and men in similar competitive careers have more cholesterol in their blood, shorter clotting time and more heart-artery disease than men of more relaxed temperaments, in less exacting jobs (TIME, Nov. 3, 1958). This was true even when the tranquil men ate as much animal fat, smoked as much, and got as little exercise as the climbers. Dr. Friedman suspected that taut emotions worked on the arteries through hormones. But which? And was it a 24-hour process, or did it happen...
...various kinds of hormones. Adrenocortical hormones such as hydrocortisone were similar in the two groups, and varied little between day and night. But on the job, the competitive men's adrenaline jumped 86% above night readings, as against 36% for the comparison group. With noradrenaline, said Dr. Friedman, the jump was still more pronounced: 173% compared with 64%. In large amounts, both these hormones (and especially noradrenaline) might well lead to damaging wear and tear on the heart and arteries...
