Despite his age and occasional bouts of ill health (liver and gall bladder), Ulbricht runs his country with undiminished authority, working as many as 18 hours a day. barking rapid-fire orders in his high-pitched voice.

The corpse cannot lie, and the pathologists doing an autopsy can check every vital organ for disease-including the liver for evidence of hepatitis. They select as donors only the corpses of presumably healthy individuals who die suddenly, as in traffic accidents or from heart attacks. A cadaver yields far more blood than a walking donor: the Pontiac investigators have drawn as many as three pints from a grown...

He gave up teaching pathology a year ago, but only to give younger men a chance, and still lectures on the history of medicine. Practicing what he preaches, Dr. Whipple eats liver at least once a week...
