...sharpen a big and costly type of hypodermic needle, he had no idea that the trail would lead into the human heart. But more Convair design specialists and engineers got interested in medical gadgeteering; *last week a notable result was announced. They had developed a new and sophisticated heart-lung machine...
Still puffing hard on the trail of whatever it is that makes heavy smokers the commonest victims of lung cancer, the pioneer researchers in the field have brought out another cold-comfort report: the tar from pipes and cigars is as potent a cancer-causing agent to mice as that from cigarettes. The investigators were Dr. Ernest L. Wynder of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute and Adele B. Croninger of St. Louis' Washington University. As co-author they loyally listed their former chief, the late great Surgeon Evarts A. Graham, onetime chain smoker who died of inoperable lung...

While a mouse's back is admittedly not the same as the inside of a man's lung, histologists (tissue specialists) say that it is of essentially the same structure and shows similar reactions...
Cigar and pipe smokers get less lung cancer than heavy cigarette smokers, but more cancer of the mouth. The researchers got at least as many cancers on mice with cigar and pipe tar as with tar from cigarettes (whether paper-or leaf-wrapped). So, they conclude, if smoking is to be eliminated as a cause of cancer, the dangerous substances must be eliminated from all forms of tobacco...
Died. Edward Adam Strecker, 72, emeritus professor of psychiatry at the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania, expert on behavior disorders of children, author, whose 1946 study Their Mothers' Sons examined the U.S.'s "mom-archie" society, attributed much mental disease to "momism"; of lung cancer; in Philadelphia. In Strecker's lexicon, a "Mom" was not a mother. "Mom is a maternal parent who fails to prepare her offspring emotionally for living a productive adult life on an adult social plane. A Mom does not untie the emotional apron string," and the result is an immature...
