Grady is a teaching hospital for Emory University Medical School. It has an array of specialized clinics and several doctors with worldwide reputations. For nearly 90 years Grady has also been the main source of medical care for Atlanta's poor. Last year a fifth of Grady's $80 million budget came from reimbursement for services provided to Medicaid patients. In 1980 the hospital served more than 300,000 outpatients in its jammed waiting rooms, clinics and stretcher-filled emergency rooms. An additional 42,244 patients competed for space in its 934 beds...

Recent years have spawned an array offerees seemingly inimical to American interests, ranging from the extortionist pricing policies of OPEC to xenophobic Islamic fundamentalism. Iran, in a peculiarly ugly way, has managed to represent both...
...most esteemed by the President is brand-named Jelly Belly, which -addicts vow-is to the ordinary jelly bean what foie gras is to liverwurst. About one-fourth the size of the Easter-basket staple and three times as expensive (up to $4 per lb.), Bellys come in an array of 36 flavors. Their manufacturer, Herman Goelitz Co. of Oakland, maintains that the flavors are so delicate that the beans should be eaten one at a time, not by the vulgar handful. How else to appreciate the richness of the coffee mocha, the tang of the pińa colada...
