Every Man Different

Every Man Different
Since my announcement last
week that I would not seek re-
election to Congress next year,
there have been some attempts
made to tie my decision and
my health to President Eisen-
hower's future plans. Politics
being what it is, 1 suppose such
a comparison was inevitable.
Such speculation, however, not
only disregards the basis for
my decision, but also the facts.
In the first place, let me
emphasize that, although the
President and I suffered similar
type heart attacks, that's where
the similarity ends. For each
attack is as different as the
people who have them.
One generalization, however,
can be made: heart attack no
longer represents a Sword of
Damoclels" hanging over the
victims head ready to cut loose
at any moment. In the past 20
or more years m k a b e
changes have occurred in the
treatment of heart patients so

The comforting truth is that
