...Francisco he had studied 1,400 ground personnel for 31 years. All were men aged 41 to 60; half of them had taken four daily capsules of clofibrate (trade-named Atro-mid-S), while the other half received dummy capsules. So far, there have been 47 new heart attacks, 37 among the 700 men on the placebo, but only ten among those on clofibrate. Of 17 attacks among men who had previously had a heart attack, only three struck men on the drug. There were twelve fatal heart attacks, but only four among men taking clofibrate...
Although these early results seemed impressive, Dr. Krasno conceded that longer-range studies involving many more subjects are needed. The Heart Institute project has so far recruited 4,800 men for testing, and will eventually have 8,400 at 55 clinics across the U.S. The test program involves four drugs: dextrothyroxine (Choloxin), nicotinic acid (niacin) and estrogens (female sex hormones) in addition to clofibrate. Unlike the Krasno study...
Died. Albion Harman, 52, "King" of Lilliputian (1.6 sq. mi., pop. 48) Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel; of a heart attack; in Barnstaple, England. For 800 years, the monarchs of Lundy (the island was first given to a nobleman by King Stephen in the 12th century; more recently, whoever owned the land held the title) battled mainland policies, minted the puffin, worth 1.9?, which was outlawed in 1931 when it ran afoul of British currency laws. Harman, whose father bought the island in 1925 for $80,000, rebuffed the mother country's efforts to incorporate the taxfree, school...
Died. Russell V. Downing, 67, president and director from 1952-66 of New York's Radio City Music Hall, world's largest indoor movie theater (6,200 seats); of a heart attack; in Manhattan. In the 36 years of its existence, Downing was proud to point out, the Music Hall not only kept to the "family movie" formula, but attracted more than 200 million paying customers at a rate of 6,000,000 a year-more than the annual number of visitors to the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and United Nations combined...
Died. Nikolaus von Falkenhorst, 83, the harsh-handed Wehrmacht general who led the invasion of Norway in April 1940 and the military machine that in the next five years ruthlessly ground 10,000 Norwegians into oblivion; of a heart attack; in Holzminden, West Germany. Even in the heyday of the German blitzkrieg, Von Falkenhorst seemed in a hurry: his troops and planes crushed Norway in just 23 days, and thereafter he used firing squads against civilians and prisoners of war. For these acts he was at first condemned to death by a British military court and later given...
