    Notes: Abstract In this article I examine an example of sympathy -- the actions of one woman who rescued Jews during their persecution in Nazi Europe. I argue that this woman's account of her actions here suggests that sympathy is a primitive response to the suffering of another. By “primitive” here I mean: first, that these responses are immediate and unthinking; and second, that these responses are explanatorily basic, that they cannot be explained in terms of some more fundamental feature of human nature -- such as some particular desire or sentiment that we possess. My conclusion is then that our sympathetic responses are themselves partially constitutive of our conception of what is to be a human being.

    Notes: Abstract This paper examines the distribution and prevalence of risk factors for coronary heart disease in a sample of 165 men and 202 women over 40 years of age who had earlier participated in a coronary prevention trial from a general practice in Cambridge, UK. No significant differences were observed in total cholesterol levels between men and women, and a quarter of the sample had concentrations above 6.5 mmol/l which is 250 mg/dl. There were significant sex differences in a number of risk factors with males having significantly higher prevalence of low high density lipoprotein, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, obesity, and smoking than women. About 8% of men and women were obese (as defined by a body mass index 〉 30), while 47% of men and 35% of women were mildly overweight (body mass index 〉 25). Two or more risk factors for coronary heart disease (high total cholesterol and/or hypertension and/or obesity) were present in 4% and 9% of older men and women respectively. Furthermore, about half the subjects had more than one risk factor for coronary heart disease.
