...recognize that heart disease has no single, simple cause. Hereditary susceptibility is a factor, and so is high blood pressure. Says Dr. Paul Dudley White, lean, beanpole dean of cardiologists: "We're trying to establish the degree of responsibility for a number of different factors. For instance, muscular metabolism, and the effects of vigorous exercise." Dr. William B. Kannel, assistant director of a ten-year-old study of more than 5,000 men and women in Framingham, Mass., says: "Cigarette smoking triggers a great amount of coronary disease.

The partners went shopping for greater resources...
James Harvey, 35, is also an artist, but he draws his inspiration from religion and landscapes rather than supermarkets. At nights, he works hard on muscular abstract paintings that show in Manhattan's Graham Gallery. But eight hours a day, to make a living, he labors as a commercial artist. Harvey likes to keep up with the newest in art, and when he heard that Warhol was having a show, he dropped in. What he saw made him choke back an impulse to start a paternity suit.
