The Chief, thinking it would please the doctor, ordered the New York Journal-American to play up the Prinzmetal movie. It was a good medical story.

Others went north to Lisbon where they found the almond trees blooming by day and the mournful fado echoing in the cafes at night...
...reason he could was the fact that he has been living his job all his life. As a ten-year-old, he flew homemade model planes in Manhattan's Central Park. At the Hill School, classmates nicknamed the quiet youth "The Mummy"; but at Yale, Trippe blossomed out, went in for crew, swimming and football. "I was a guard," he grins, "on a very poor football squad-we lost twice to Harvard and twice to Princeton in my two years...
