Every morning last week Dr. Wilhelm Raab, 65, just retired as professor of experimental medicine at the University of Vermont, did 500 half knee bends with arm swings. Before retiring he did another 500. His Boston-born wife Olga. 54, did knee bends too, but usually quit before she hit 200 because, she admits, "I get to giggling over how we must look." Vienna-born Dr. Raab could not care less how he looks so long as he is warding off what he calls "loafer's heart." Dr. Raab never rides in a car or elevator...
...Annals of Internal Medicine, Dr. Raab accuses U.S. heart researchers of having neglected the relationships be tween emotional states, biochemical processes and heart disease. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936), patron saint of Rus sian medicine, was one of the early work ers in this field, says Dr. Raab, and the U.S.S.R. is now putting his theories into vigorous practice...
Stiff-lipped but studiously correct, Chancellor Raab got the final shocker at a hotel banquet in Klagenfurt. "Neutrality is no mountain fastness," Khrushchev warned. "The fight for peace concerns all people. The presence of rocket bases in northern Italy-and if they are used against the Socialist countries-would presuppose a violation of Austrian neutrality." For its own sake, he said, Austria should warn Italy against "playing with fire." The clear threat: if war should start, Russian troops would cross the Austrian border without compunction...
...Though Raab remained diplomatically silent through Nikita's tirades, the Austrian people made their feelings plain. Most boycotted Khrushchev's public appearances; special Masses were held for the "silent Church" behind the Iron Curtain. "A demagogue is using Austria as a base for propaganda rockets," cried the Vienna daily Express...
With a small trade victory safely in hand (the ending of Austrian oil shipments as war reparations in 1964, a year earlier than scheduled, and the beginning of talks toward a five-year trade pact), Raab saw Nikita off at the airport with obvious relief. With Khrushchev safely back home and rattling his rockets at the U.S. in behalf of his newest protege, Cuba, Raab went on radio to set the record straight. He called the attacks on Adenauer "extremely unpleasant," affirmed his friendship for the U.S., and noted that Communism was "declined by 97% of our population" in last...
