Blakeslee Award

Dr. G. Timothy Johnson, clinical instructor in Medicine and editor of the newsletter of the School of Public Health, was one of ten recipients of the Howard W. Blakeslee Award from the American Heart Association (AHA) in Miami yesterday.

A seven-judge panel awarded Johnson the $500 prize, which recognizes outstanding presentation of information on cardiac and arterial disease, for an article entitled "Arteries: An Owner's Manual," that appeared in this February's Harvard Magazine.

The panel called the article "succinct and complete," and commended it for having been "presented in an unusual way," an AHA spokesman said yesterday.
