...Boston, when Dr. Paul Dudley White bought a preserved whale heart from an old sea captain. Like other heart specialists, Dr. White had learned to doubt some of his own diagnoses. Symptoms of disease in smaller human hearts, he suspected, might well be signs of health in larger, slow-beating organs. To test his theories, Dr. White began to study the hearts of mammals larger than man. As medical examiner for Boston's Franklin Park Zoo, he dissected the heart of a dead elephant.
