...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...
Nothing could be more natural, says Internist Lovshin: "No psychoanalysis or deep probing is necessary. She has a work day of 16 hours, a work week of seven days. This is all against union regulations-no time in the sack. She probably hasn't had a real vacation in years, and she may have various worries about finances, husband and children. Being conscientious, she gets involved in clubs, Brownies, P.T.A.s, heart drives, church work, hauling children, music, dancing."

He is lithe, blond, radiantly handsome and invincible at fencing, foot races, discus-throwing and the standing broad jump. He is an accomplished linguist and, of course, a shrewd internist and master surgeon; he often needs only a short talk or a touch of the hand to heal the sick...
Heading HOPE is an energetic, 38-year-old Washington, D.C. internist named William Walsh. One of the outgrowths of President Eisenhower's people-to-people program of 1956 to boost international ties, HOPE has already received "substantial" amounts (biggest donors: the drug companies), and Walsh is convinced that Consolation will sail on schedule, accomplish Ike's original idea. "This is going to have a tremendous impact," says Walsh. "We can do it in other parts of the world-there are four more hospital ships in mothballs. It's a cheap way of waging peace...
