...their development of heart disease and their incidence of heart attacks. The Framingham results to date, says Dr. William B. Kannel, indicate that a man with high blood cholesterol has almost three times the average risk of a heart attack. More alarming, if one man is exposed to two threefold risk factors-a heavy smoker with high blood cholesterol, for example-the two risks are not added together but multiplied, thereby giving him approximately a ninefold disadvantage...
...office; the fund is now $88 million, and the city's credit is improving. One of Lindsay's less heralded accomplishments is the tapping of the federal till with new programs and aggressive lobbying. Since he took office, federal outlays to the city have jumped more than threefold, to $892 million a year.

The first two tasks were performed with the help of 90 staff workers in a minimum of time and with a maximum of thoughtfulness and sensitivity. But for the third assignment, the commission, stunned by the gravity and magnitude of the problem, produced shotgun recommendations without regard for cost or national...
