Even an LDL-pheresis enthusiast like Chazov agrees that it is not "a means of mass treatment for atherosclerosis." For that, he says, one must turn not to miraculous medical intervention, but to good...

Explains Dr. Antonio Gotto of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston: "We think that high-density lipoprotein may work as a scavenger of cholesterol from the tissues, ridding the body of excess cholesterol." Research is under way to determine whether coronary disease can be fought more effectively by manipulating the levels...

They talked alone in the President's second-floor study for half an hour, talked another half-hour with Defense Secretary Robert Lovett, Army Secretary Frank Pace and J.C.S. Chairman General Omar Bradley. Then, defying all laws of political gravity, Harry Truman took...
