About two weeks after an otherwise undetected occlusion, the patient may have a hand (usually only one) that is swollen, shiny, discolored and stiff. The stiffness comes from thickening of the fibrous layer just below the skin down the middle of the palm. It may pull the fingers together and sometimes also downward. Skin thickening and stiffness of this type may be the signs of a previous and hitherto-undetected coronary occlusion...

In many hard-to-diagnose cases of heart disease, say the Atlanta doctors, the skilled physician's careful observation of the hands will yield valuable clues that the stethoscope and even the electrocardiograph do not disclose...

There are no longer any time-wasting jurisdictional disputes, because there are no more jurisdictions. Printers help out stereotypers, stereotypers assist pressmen, pressmen lend the mailers a hand. Even reporters are called on to run copy and dirty their hands in the back shop. Hearst himself is in and out of the newsroom and the pressroom, sometimes answering the telephone or composing type. "He seems real happy with the job we're doing," says a reporter...
