...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...
...investigator of less repute had reported such heady stuff, the audience of hypercritical 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...
Sunken Nails. From the start, Dr. Schroeder did not believe that the growing incidence of arterial disease reflected the presence of such common and natural drinking-water constituents as calcium bicarbonate, with which man has lived throughout history. What concerned the imaginative researcher was pollution by metals that modern man, the metallurgist, now scatters around him in profusion...
...William Schroeder's uncomplicated set seems wholly appropriate not only to the play but to Babe's rendering of it. Probably no designer has ever done so well by Agassiz's rather stultifying stage. In fact the whole technical side of Babe's production is flawless, with the lighting particularly commendable...
Whether intentional or not, Schroeder's set is subtly off-perspective, and the slight distortion in the walls and the floor reduces the depth of the set and makes it appear almost two dimensional. Since the set is small and the viewer's eye tends to see it as an entirety, Babe is able to use the 2-D effect and to stress perspective distortion in his blocking...
