gout. True enough, say Biochemist George Brooks and Social Psychologist Ernst Mueller, but the one-word diagnosis is far from complete. Those four famous men, along with many others, suffered from swollen, painful joints be cause their blood carried an excess of uric acid, which is a product of hu man metabolism.

Main Artery. Even the sounds and sights of the land soon changed as U.S. deuce-and-a-halfs, Jeeps, bulldozers, helicopters and fighter aircraft raised whirlwinds of cinnamon-colored dust and sand as white as snow. In the north, some 45,000 marines clustered around Hué, Danang and Chu Lai. The new 1st Cav settled at An Khe, just off Route 19, main artery leading to the beleaguered Central Highlands.
