...psychiatrists to go around." His sane humanism -he is a book collector, music lover, once served as moderator of the American Unitarian Association-stood him in good stead at St. Elizabeths, where he lives with his family. For 13 years he endured endless legal wrangling over his most celebrated patient, Poet Ezra Pound; but more important, he helped make St. Elizabeths one of the most enlightened mental hospitals...
There, doctors humored the patient by trying the test diets he suggested. They had to admit that Ohishi was right: starches were bad for him, and bread was the worst. Dr. Tsuneo Takada, 30, took samples of Ohishi's digestive juices. In them microbiologists found a flourishing growth of a yeastlike fungus, Candida (or Monilia) albicans, occasional cause of human infections, but usually in the mouth or the vagina. In a normal gut, Candida may occur without causing fermentation. But in Ohishi's repaired bowel there was a little pocket where the Candida hid, multiplied, and busily fermented...
...original sicknik, now makes $300,000 a year, but still manages to see the worm in the golden apple. Right alongside Sahl in the hierarchy of disease is Jonathan Winters, 33, a roly-poly brainy-zany who has spent most of the past two months as a patient in his favorite subject for humor: the funny farm. While these two once seemed more or less alone in their strange specialty, it is now clear that the virus has spread. Perhaps a dozen other sickniks-some newcomers, some oldtimers with brand-new syndromes-are cleaning up not only in nightclubs...
Died. Raymond Campbell Schindler, 77, low-keyed, grimly patient private detective who marshaled all the resources of modern criminology, spent months and huge sums of money to catch such peculiarly modern-day badmen as scrap-metal grafters and lackadaisical meat distributors, kept dramatic, publicized feats to a minimum (by proving incriminating fingerprints faked, he cleared Client Alfred de Marigny of the celebrated Bahamas murder of Sir Harry Oakes), never once wore a gun, or used his fist; of a heart attack; in Tarrytown...
...Years of patient measurements of water temperature, salinity and density have begun to pay off by providing oceanography with a substructure of theory. Doubting the conventional view that ocean currents are simply streams of water pushed around by prevailing winds, Henry Stommel of Woods Hole analyzed thousands of such observations, predicted that a current would be found flowing under the Gulf Stream in the opposite direction. In 1957 the Atlantis and the British oceanographic ship Discovery II went looking for this current. Their tool was an ingenious buoy invented by British Oceanographer John C. Swallow, which sinks slowly until...
