Pointing out that metabolic changes due to aging as well as localized inflammations, e.g., syphilis and TB, play a minor role, Blumenthal evolved his thesis through an intensive study of hemodynamics-the mechanics of blood flow and pressure within arterial walls. Cholesterol is carried evenly through the body with the blood. But neither stress on arterial walls nor hardening of the arteries is uniform; both tend to coincide at artery junctions, just as water forced through a pipe exerts greatest pressure at the joints. To stay healthy the arterial wall must remain elastic, expanding and contracting with blood pressure. Normal...
...than adequate performance as a man who acts decisively and honestly out of a strong self-respect--which is what his boss most lacks--without being especially superficial. Jennifer Jones and Fredric March skillfully manage dramatic scenes which in other hands might invite disaster. With scarcely an exception, the minor characters--like an elevator man whom Peck had known in Italy--are convincingly portrayed. In the small role of the girl he met there, Marisa Pavan is remarkable...
...first to have a collection fully subsidized by state funds, opens its doors with more than a million dollars' worth of paintings already hanging on its walls. Aiming for broad representation rather than high-priced rarities, museum officers settled for 200-odd major and minor old masters at an average price of only $4,000. Result: a sampling of eight main schools of Western painting, ranging from Balthazar Van der Ast to Francisco de Zurbaran and including Rubens' Holy Family with Saint Anne, Van Dyck's Duchess of Lennox, Murillo's Esau Selling His Birthright...
Like any G.P., DeTar has his share of emergency calls. But night calls have dropped off ever since he was felled by virus pneumonia ten years ago. Although he performs minor surgery, e.g., cyst removals, suturing cuts, in his office and performs tonsilectomies in a nearby hospital, he refuses to perform bigger operations. "A doctor should not do major surgery if he's not trained in it. I'm not," he explains. After home-delivering some 300 babies, DeTar gave up obstetrics in 1952 to devote more time to A.A.G.P. duties, but he still handles pre-and postdelivery...
...wife are the only physicians in Holdingford, Minn, (pop. 500), thus "do everything" from obstetrics to gall bladder operations and would welcome more G.P.s. Dr. Charles Savarese is up against harsh hospital restrictions in Washington, D.C., but at Bethesda's Suburban Hospital he can, deliver babies and perform minor surgery. For all the restrictions, says Savarese, "we generalists do pretty well in Washington. This is a specialists' town, and competition among them is terrific...
