...wrong," the distinguished physiologist admitted to the American Heart Association meeting in Manhattan. But if he was right, Dr. Henry A. Schroeder had not only provided an explanation for millions of hitherto inexplicable cases of high blood pressure; he had also suggested a possible method of treatment. Dr. Schroeder had also pointed out a mechanism by which diabetes may develop in adult Americans, and he had outlined an approach to prevention of the disease...
...physicians would surely have scoffed. Indeed, many of them smiled tolerantly when Dr. Schroeder first drew attention to a puzzling association between the softness of the drinking water in an area and the frequency of hardened arteries among men who live there (TIME, May 2, 1960). However, the determined physiologist had already taken to the hills and found both an explanation and supporting evidence for his observations...
...only place he could do it and got a subsidy from NASA. Living with his wife and young daughter in a cottage near Oslo, Geophysicist Giorgio Fiocco, 35, spends sporting days paddling a canoe around the fiord and scientific nights examining "noctilucent" clouds by laser radar. Yale Physiologist Jose Delgado, 50, the man who can make bulls stop charging by planting electrodes in their brains, is off to Moscow, a favored academic watering hole, for a psychology conference...
...Journal itself offers a restrained and judicial editorial opinion: "In research conducted on such an expanding scale in the last two decades, the desire for results seems too often to have outweighed the means of arriving at them." As a guideline for researchers, the Journal quotes the great French physiologist-researcher Claude Bernard (1813-78) on human experiments: "Those that can only harm are forbidden." Those that involve no foreseeable harm to the patient are "innocent" and therefore permissible. "Those that may do good are obligatory." The problem in 1966 is to define "those that are innocent...
...treadmill to prove it was still capable of such high speeds; a similar car was used to re-enact the shooting for photographic exhibits. A ballistics expert testified that gunpowder burns on the victim's shirt proved the gun had been fired inside the car, and a physiologist was brought in to verify that a man thrown off balance would tend to make a reflexive clutching movement that could pull a trigger...
