...July 15, when Bush met with Cheney at the Governor's Mansion, the only obstacle that might have prevented Bush from picking the former Defense Secretary had been removed. Three days earlier, Cheney--whose medical history includes three mild heart attacks and a coronary bypass--had been given a clean bill of health by his doctors in Washington. For backup, Bush's father put Cheney's doctors in touch with Dr. Denton Cooley, a renowned heart surgeon in Houston and a family friend. Cooley told Bush that Cheney's heart could handle the job. And so, on the 15th, Bush...
...Cheney who tapped James Baker to run Ford's '76 presidential campaign. After Ford lost to Jimmy Carter, Cheney decided to make his own try for Wyoming's sole House seat. But just weeks into the campaign, he had the first of the three mild heart attacks he suffered between the ages of 37 and 48. While Cheney recuperated and brooded over what to do, his wife Lynne went out on the campaign trail for him for six weeks. He won with 59% of the vote.

Until his record was parsed this week, a lot of people...
...host of genes that is involved in the development of either disorder. What lends neurogenetics its literally mind-boggling puzzles are questions addressing possible interactions of these genes: Do the additive effects of a number of genes create the phenotypic spectrum of the trait (for example, in BPAD from mild depression to rapid cycling BPAD)? Must a critical threshold be reached for manifestation of the illness? Even if a person has all of the genes that code for a disorder might its expression be prevented or mitigated by protector genes (These genes manufacture factors that can switch off the genes...
...other side of the bridge [THE PULSE OF AMERICA, July 10]? Oh, the memories for those of us lucky enough to grow up near her banks! My own Tom and Huck built their secret fort near a bend in the "mighty Miss," and I could only feign mild consternation when stories of stashed cigars and stolen Playboys were finally confessed. I wish all kids could experience a bit of "life on the Mississippi." If nothing else, they would learn to spell. BERTEIL MAHONEY Laguna Niguel, Calif...
