"Can I walk some more?" the President hopefully wanted to know. "Sure," the doctor replied...
...program of research, made possible by a gift of the John A. Hartford Foundation will concern arthrosclerosis--a type of hardening of the arteries--and related conditions of the heart and blood vessels. Dr. John C. Snyder, Dean of the School of Public Health, called the program "unique" in that it provided for continued research over a period of several years and would allow scientists "to pursue their studies with continuity...
...program will function primarily in the School's Department of Nutrition and will be under the direction of Dr. Frederick J. Stare, the Department's head. "One of our main problems of present-day scientific investigation," said Dean Snyder, "is that most of our research funds are awarded on an annual basis. This makes it very difficult to develop long-range programs or to keep scientists of high ability on our staff...
...Then Snyder startled the reporters by announcing that weekly electrocardio grams "show residual abnormalities as a result of the scar in the heart muscle." The abnormalities "remain stable as is expected at this stage in the healing process. This stability is a desirable finding. The scar in the heart-muscle wall appears to be firm and of moderate size.

In describing the heart attack as acute after they had always called it moderate, the doctors referred to the suddenness, not the degree, of the thrombosis. The scar itself measured about four-fifths of an inch, and was "average" for the type of attack. While the heart may have increased in size, Snyder...
