Until last summer, when the Army decided not to look its gift horses in the mouth, bad teeth were the largest cause for rejecting drafted men (20.9% of rejected candidates).

Drs. Robert E. Johnson, Robert Darling, and Brouha found that it was possible to get a satisfactory estimate of general fitness by measuring the heart rate at three convenient intervals during recovery after work. And a general formula was worked out by which a "fitness index" is defined as duration...
