...clearly identify the patients who are "sleeping on corridor floors, or two or three to a bed" in our hospitals, and might imply that the bulk of the patients are in the hospitals with war wounds. In fact, a great preponderance of our patients have preventable communicable diseases-typhoid fever, cholera, bubonic plague, hepatitis, malaria and other such conditions-that are the result of environmental health problems and lack of basic health education. Dr. John Knowles recommends that we double the U.S. medical budget, bring in more U.S. surgeons, train more Vietnamese doctors and start an immunization program. Might...
...Savoyard-style, it provides its members with impressive-sounding responsibilities, conveys a generous ($26,000) salary, and requires virtually no work at all. The board has heard not a single case in the past 19 months and is not likely to hear one any time soon. With an economy fever gripping Congress, SACB-together with its nearly $300,000 annual budget-would seem to be an ideal target, but the Senate voted overwhelmingly last week not to dissolve the board for at least another year...
...been a quarter of a century since a shy blonde out of Jamestown, N. Dak., named Peggy Lee (real name: Norma Egstrom) sang that lament with Benny Goodman's band.

Or he can set sail on splendid seas of invective. "The Bishop of Woolwich, who is England's Bishop Pike only more so, announced recently from the pulpit of Canterbury Cathedral that he had recently traveled to America and there found that 'every Christian I met' was opposed...
While most U.S. corporations are continually on the prowl for ripe acquisition possibilities, merger fever is just beginning to infect Britain, which still abounds with inefficient, low-profit companies that duplicate products and services. Ironically, the Socialist government has been the primary booster of a trend toward bigger business, and in 1966 formed the Industrial Reorganization Corporation to promote and help finance regroupings in industry. As it happens, the chief beneficiaries of the government-sponsored merger wave are groups of experts who act as brokers for companies in search of a good...
