DIED. Ralph McAllister Ingersoll, 84, journalist, author and publisher who created and from 1940 to 1946, except while serving in the Army, ran the innovative New York City minitabloid PM, which carried classy contributors (Ernest Hemingway, Margaret Bourke-White) and no advertising or comics; after a stroke; in Miami Beach, Fla. Contentious and multidimensional, he was the No. 2 editor of The New Yorker (1925-30), managing editor of the young and struggling FORTUNE (1931-35) general manager and vice president of Time Inc. (1935-38) and publisher of TIME (1937-39). After leaving PM, he owned...
...prissiest, combines dictatorial will with genuine dignity. Peggy Cass is the family entertainer, Elizabeth Franz its happiest housewife and Gisela Caldwell its edgy protofeminist, whose eventual crack-up seems to result from her discontent with women's lot. The most affecting performance comes from Bette Henritze, as a stroke victim whose singsong speech does not obscure a larger tragedy.

HOSPITALIZED. Kakuei Tanaka, 66, Prime Minister of Japan from 1972 to 1974 and continuing political power broker; in improving condition after a stroke; in Tokyo. Despite a 1983 bribery conviction stemming from the Lockheed Corp. case, now being appealed, Tanaka retained nearly complete control over the Liberal Democratic Party, backing incumbent Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone last year for a second term. In recent months, however, his authority has been under attack, and if his health further reduces his influence, Nakasone's position will be at risk...
Haydon was aware of the considerable risks involved. Though Barney Clark had survived 112 days with the device, he had suffered unexplained brain seizures that left him depressed and disabled. Schroeder, too, was struggling with serious neurological problems, caused primarily by a stroke that occurred 18 days after his implant surgery, leaving him with impaired speech, loss of short-term memory and weakness on his right side. Schroeder's recovery was further hampered in January by seizures (a common complication of strokes) and, in recent weeks, by fever that ranged as high as 105 degrees...
...dangerous, particularly to people already at risk for hypertension and diabetes. Oddly enough, the distribution of fat on the body seems to influence health. Studies have shown that people who carry their excess fat as a potbelly or "spare tire" are more apt to suffer from heart disease, stroke and diabetes than those who carry the same amount of flab around their hips and thighs. Why this is so remains a mystery...
