Top U.S. Government physicians believe that in the case of at least one patient with a heart-attack history, namely Lyndon Johnson, the equipment should be installed in his home-the White House.

None of their men wore it. Chicago Daily News Columnist Virginia Kay was also puzzled. She did some checking and printed the results...
Died. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, 97, pioneering medical missionary, a petite Oregon physician who followed wanderlust and the healing arts around the globe, joined the 1897 gold rush to Alaska, served World War I hospital duty with the Red Cross in France, in 1922 tended Greek refugees under siege by the Turks in Smyrna, and as chairman from 1919 until last May of the American Women's Hospital Service founded clinics for the homeless in 30 nations; in Manhattan...
