President John F. Kennedy reportedly told his brother, who in the early 1970s became a leader in Congress on health care and medical research: "Have lunch with medical school professors, have dinner with Nobel Prize winners, but if you really want to know about what needs to be done in medical research in America, have a talk with Mary Lasker."
