Head of medical services for the personnel at Euratom, the Common Market's organization for research into peaceful uses of atomic energy, Dr. Massart is largely involved in treating colds, sprains and peptic ulcers rather than radiation injuries. It was pure hunch, he says, that was operating in 1959 when he was called on to treat a young Belgian technician who had badly burned his right hand with an estimated 70,000 r. of radiation...
Banana Breakfast. A straight-A student, DeBakey raced through Tulane for both his B.S. and M.D. degrees, stayed to get an M.S. for research on peptic ulcer. He got appointments to the universities of Strasbourg and Heidelberg, where he also continued courting Diana Cooper, a pretty nurse whom he had met in New Orleans before she went to the American Hospital in Paris. After Europe and marriage, it was back to Tulane to the department of surgery under Dr. Alton Ochsner.* During the '30s, young Dr. DeBakey became an expert in blood transfusions and invented a roller pump...
...indigestion, usually with nausea and belching, has the same causes as heartburn. An antacid tablet may help.

Belgian waffle covered with fresh whipped cream and fresh strawberries can be a meal in itself. Peptic athletes can eat Egg Foo Yumburgers, Fishwiches, and frankfurters packed in cornmeal, and wet it all down with Philippine beer. The Luxembourg, a restaurant the size of a closet, serves all the sausage-loaded country onion soup...
Died. Stanley Burnet Resor, 83, titan of U.S. advertising who made J. Walter Thompson Co. into the world's biggest ($370 million annual billings) and most sedate ad agency as its president from 1916 to 1955 and board chairman from 1955 to 1961; of bleeding peptic ulcer; in Manhattan. An aloof man of utmost rectitude, Resor opened Thompson's Cincinnati office in 1980s and eight years later bought the firm from its namesake; shunning the flashy sell, his agency turned out solid, convincing ads for such blue-chip clients as Ford and Eastman Kodak, thrived on scientific surveys...
