Lotspeich tells his students, "to exist in a state of not knowing-but you must get used to it. You will, unhappily, often have to make decisions on the basis of incomplete information...
Three-Ply Wall. Since it is impossible to observe such a process in living man, the investigators had to reconstruct their evidence from the dead. Cardiologist Meyer Friedman and Dutch-born Physiologist G. J. Van den Bovenkamp of the Harold Brunn Institute at Mount Zion Medical Center persuaded pathologists in hospitals near San Francisco to send them the occluded segment of coronary artery from each heart-attack victim on whom they had performed an autopsy. The two researchers sliced the coronary specimens crosswise, and after examining countless paper-thin specimens under the microscope, worked out the sequence of a typical...
...about how performance may be affected by the 7,434-ft. altitude. Sportsmen in low-lying Britain and Belgium, with no facilities at hand for high-altitude training, have gone so far as to suggest moving the Olympic endurance events to sea level-say, steaming Veracruz. An eminent American physiologist has proposed that the U.S. establish a base camp, Everest style, on the Mexican coast, and fly athletes to Mexico City on split-second timing to compete during the first hour after their arrival, before the altitude has time to erode their performance...

In 1941 his studies yielded a series of lectures on Jacksonian democracy that became the nucleus for the book that later made him famous...
