...course in hereditary disease sponsored by the National Foundation-March of Dimes and attended by 100 research specialists from most of the top U.S. medical schools and research institutions. The results were highlighted by two significant reports: on dwarfism (see following story), and on the possible prevention of muscular dystrophy...
...Muscular dystrophy is not a single disease but a group of hereditary disorders in which muscle fibers are damaged and eventually destroyed. At Bar Harbor last week an English exchange researcher at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Dr. Alan E. H. Emery, listed eight forms of the disease. Six are extremely rare. The other two are called the "Duchenne" type.* One of these, a less serious form, often affects adults. The other is the most common of all the dystrophies; it is also the most deadly. With rare exceptions it occurs only in boys, attacking them...
...manner of ordinary men, Pelham Grenville Wodehouse started growing older at birth, 82 years ago. But unlike most he was able to stop the process in mid-adolescence. Wodehouse still lives in the same cloud-cuckoo land of titled old blighters, muscular viragoes and fluffy-minded bachelors that he first celebrated 67 books ago.

The oafs in Biffen's Millions are all after an obscure-ly willed fortune...
...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. If we could abolish smoking, we could reduce the deaths from...
...like curving marquee that tried to turn the facade toward Fifth Avenue, is now a wide breezeway through to the garden. To the east of it, Architect Philip Johnson, once the museum's director of architecture and design, has built a new wing with a facade of muscular steel beams framing huge plates of glass from sidewalk to roof (a similar wing will eventually be built to the west). Inside, the doubly expanded museum seems more than doubly competent to its task. Extra room lets it show how the whole family of modern art lives in harmony: photography, cinema...
