Twenty-Five Breaths. Not long before his final illness, Pasternak worriedly told an old friend he thought he had lung cancer. He begged that his suspicion be kept from his wife, Zinaida, so as not to upset her. Yet when he was fatally stricken, the Soviet doctors diagnosed Pasternak's illness as a heart attack and only later discovered it was the result of cancer spreading to the heart muscles. By then, cancer had colonized both lungs and was advancing from his stomach through the digestive tract...
...standing in a cagelike dock and facing a flower-decked bench-they heard the verdict. This week's Part II deals with the long, futile fight to save Sacco and Vanzetti from the chair-the hunt for new evidence, the repeated appeals, the worldwide furor, and the final confrontation of the accused and their judge as he imposes sentence after Vanzetti's powerful speech: "I am so convinced to be right that if you can kill me two times, I would live again to do what I have done already...
...picked from the collections of 75 Yalemen (class of 1895 to the class of 1959) by the director of the Yale Art Gallery, Andrew Carnduff Ritchie.

On the other hand, the final play-telling of a rich provincial who falls in love with a courtesan and tries, with tragic consequences, to buy her out of her brothel-has not only pictorial charm but genuine story and character interest. Here Grand Kabuki conveys very well the theatrical vividness-and the esthetic purity-of its method...
Though medical researchers are still not sure how fats in the diet affect artery disease and the risk of heart attacks, practicing physicians are not waiting for final answers. More and more doctors believe that it is wise anyway to reduce the amount of fats and related substances, notably cholesterol, in their patients' bloodstreams. Last week Cincinnati's. William S. Merrell Co. announced that it is start ing general distribution of a cholesterol-cutting chemical just approved (for prescription sale only) by the Food and Drug Administration. The chemical: triparanol, trade-named MER/2^. The makers claim that...
