...maverick angina, says Dr. Prinzmetal, is often accompanied by palpitation, faintness and fear of death and may be even more severe than classic angina. Seizures last from 45 seconds to more than 20 minutes, and often occur in remarkably regular cycles, perhaps at the same time each day. The condition is extremely difficult to diagnose. A physical examination reveals no abnormalities. An exercise tolerance test causes no pain. Results of laboratory tests are normal. Chest X rays and routine electrocardiograms give no indication of the disorder. Eventually, says Dr. Prinzmetal, "on repeated visits the suspicion grows that the patient...
...suffer bad effects, including masculinization and menstrual disorders. But Illinois' Dr. Gyula J. Erdelyi insists that most of these fears are groundless. Reporting last week on a study of 729 Hungarian women athletes, Dr. Erdelyi called masculinization claims highly exaggerated," said that unfavorable changes in the menstrual cycle occur no more frequently among sportswomen (about 10%) than among nonathletic females.

(His friend Darius Milhaud strenuously disapproves of this method of preserving materials: "If a theme isn't good enough to remember," says Milhaud, "I wouldn't dream of using...
...perfect, especially for anyone who likes to think in black and white while watching technicolor. The villains look extraordinarily vile, except for one or two who don't seem to care one way or the other. Brigitte's father performs admirably in a comic-relief role; his best scenes occur when he goes to the dance hall looking for Vidal and (inevitably) is mistaken for a prospective pupil. And the inspector and his sub-gendarmes express all of a cop's care-worn but crime-piercing wisdom...
