...Skip Kistner, who played in the number one position, described the Andover Country Club as, "very wet and soggy. The fairway on the first hole, for instance, had so much water that I lost my ball in it and had to take a penalty shot. The greens were lightning quick or very slow. You just had to guess on them...
Even though he parred the last five holes, Kistner had to go to the 18th before he won his match, two up. Tom Ellis, who was two down with four to go, took the next four holes...
Where birth-control pills are concerned, Harvard's Dr. Robert W. Kistner last week reported that he had prescribed oral contraceptives containing the synthetic equivalent of the female hormone progesterone to 66 women with signs of precancerous change of the endometrium (lining of the womb).

But among Dr. Kistner's 66 patients, some treated as long as nine years ago, the precancerous condition...

Harvard's Dr. Robert Kistner believes that the progestins may be useful in treating endometrial cancer. The University of Chicago's Dr. M.

This leads to marital difficulties and is a factor in many cases of philandering by middle-aged husbands. If we can prevent or retard these changes of senescence, we can help to keep the women happier and their husbands as well...
