...Fort Hamilton High in three years. At nights he pored over books "on how to become a $5,000-a-year man."

The clincher, for Dr. Keys, is to be found among Yemenite Jews who had no coronary disease in their native habitat but have begun to develop it since they migrated to Israel and adopted its high-fat diet. Yet the amiable, blubber-eating Eskimos throw a monkey-wrench into the dietary-fat theory. In Alaska, they live for months at a time on the fat of island seal and whale, but even among their oldsters fatal atherosclerosis is rare...
