...care is poor. The report cites case after case in which homes were short-staffed-to a point where one home had only three people to cover an intensive-care floor of more than 50 patients. Those who are employed are often poorly trained for their jobs. As a result, many patients have waited hours for medical care. Cruelty to patients is also common, report Nader's Raiders, whose personal journals record instances in which elderly people have been abused by nursing personnel...
...rest of organized labor. To head off what could have been a nation-paralyzing strike, Congress voted to give a boost of 13½% to some 350,000 railway workers. Wage-push inflation got its strongest nudge in construction; union craftsmen wrung out raises averaging 17½%. As a result, many skilled workers will be earning about $20,000 a year by 1972. Building pay is so lofty partly because many of the 18 craft unions have for years resisted opening their ranks to newcomers...

The glossy pages are strewn with well-selected (though skimpily captioned) illustrations that vividly...
...girl named Maria Beadnell in the role of an angelic object of worship. She ended by jilting him. Later he cast his wife-the bland, slightly perplexed daughter of one of his former editors-as the traditional loyal helpmeet. She seems to have ended by boring him. The result was that in his fiction he was never able to display a fully rounded view of women. Even his most memorable females-Esther Summerson in Bleak House, or Mrs. Gamp in Martin Chuzzlewit-are little more than ingenious cutouts, painted in brilliant hues of pathos and humor...
