From the Charleston area, Dr. Dale Groom reported, the hearts studied showed twice as much atherosclerosis (the form of arteriosclerosis that affects the coronary arteries) as did the hearts collected in Haiti by Dr. Vergniaud Péan. Why?

State-owned restaurants are divided into Class I, II and III, which is translated by Poles as "poor, terrible and atrocious."

On an average Warsaw evening, nearly every restaurant is the scene of brawls and near brawls between outraged customers and stony-eyed waiters...
First of Everything. Across the U.S. there are scores or hundreds of men (and a few women) who "by reason of strength" have passed the fourscore mark under full productive steam, but their formulas for useful longevity differ widely in many cases from Stagg's. They are alike in that they have lived through the dizziest technological changes in man's history, and most have taken these developments in stride. To a child born 80 years ago, the transcontinental railroad, only nine years old, was a new thing. Electric power did not become publicly available until...
Among the wise old men who differ from Stagg on nearly all life's key issues are, aptly, two who have amassed huge fortunes from the auto industry-which, say some alarmists, is ruining the nation's health by eliminating the normal healthy exercise of walking. Appropriately, Directors Alfred P. Sloan Jr., 83, and Charles F. Kettering, 82, of General Motors, both proudly proclaim that they have never taken a lick of exercise in their lives. On level ground, the farthest they walk is from office or apartment door to car or from car to plane...
