...Dental Hospital has 16 individual "operatories," ten general, and six specially equipped for more difficult surgery. There are dozens of the latest high-speed drills (up to 300,000 r.p.m.), a $40,000 anesthesia setup; such safeguards as visible-image electrocardioscopes, audible heart-tone monitors, pacemakers, defrbrillators and resuscitation gear. Besides specialized laboratories, diet kitchens and sterilization rooms, there are 30 recovery rooms for outpatients. Rooms for inpatients have pushbutton control of draperies and TV sets, plus individual patios. The rates ($50 a day semiprivate, $60 private) are only about half what they would be in general hospitals since they...

...fast that Britain's Institute of Directors lists 25,000 members; a decade ago there were only 400. Also spreading is the U.S. style of low-markup, high-volume operation. Germany's Mail-Order Magnate Joseph Neckerman has grown into a sort of Teutonic Sears, Roebuck in fewer than ten years. He sells a list of 5,500 items through 22 mail-order stores, 48 special-appliance stores, and by undercutting the competition as much as 25%, tots up sales of $125 million annually. Says Neckerman, expounding a U.S. philosophy: "The consumer is king...
