...comprehensive statistics, they arc unknown in the West. But when a handful of American physicians and scientists followed the table tennis players last year, expert outsiders got a good look at how Maoist medicine is being practiced today. TIME interviewed four of the doctors: Paul Dudley White, the Boston cardiologist; Samuel Rosen, a Manhattan ear specialist; E. Grey Dimond, provost for the health sciences at the University of Missouri's new Kansas City School of Medicine; and Victor Sidel, head of the department of social medicine at Montefiore Hospital in New York. Their stays ranged from two weeks...

Benson, an internist and cardiologist specializing in hypertension, became interested in the effects of transcendental meditation (TM) while investigating ways to modify high blood pressure. Knowing that the body prepares itself for "fight or flight" by increasing its oxygen consumption, blood pressure, heart rate and secretion of the hormone epinephrine, he theorized that it might be possible to reduce these metabolic factors below their normal rate. Eventually, he and his collaborators conditioned monkeys to lower their blood pressure in order to avoid a slight electrical shock. He then achieved the same result in human volunteers by using...

The dye, which showed up clearly on motion picture X rays, made it possible for physicians to see with 90% accuracy exactly where...
Apparently worried that Fly might die, the Tupamaros seized an Uruguayan cardiologist and ordered him to examine their captive. Then, abandoning their demands for $1,000,000 in ransom, they released Fly. Still in Tupamaros' hands is British Ambassador Geoffrey Jackson, who also has a coronary condition...
