...medical care is generally rated as good as any in the world and often proclaimed as the best. It will not hold this rating, the experts warn, if the doctor-patient and G.P.-family ratios fall farther. Says Dr. Darley: "The big problem is how to preserve a personalized type of medical care in the face of all the forces that tend to depersonalize it." One plan for which he has high hopes is to develop the practice of "family medicine" itself into a specialty. Pilot programs to do this are beginning, with A.M.A. backing, at Johns Hopkins, Indiana, Kansas...
...beauty of Judy Holliday's talent lies not least in her meticulous control of it. She knows her type to a tee-hee, and she is never for an instant out of character. Actually, she plays two characters at once: 1) Dumb Dora, the sort of sweet schlemiel who continually falls on her face but always comes up covered with roses, and 2) Dora's diabolical double, a cute cookie who secretly prearranges the roses and from time to time winks wickedly at the audience. She plays both parts brilliantly in Bells, especially in the brief blackout that...
Though no longer useful for flags, the stars and stripes on shirts and sheets strike visiting U.S. tourists as a desecration. In Washington last week Oregon Congressman Charles O. Porter introduced a bill to stop the manufacture, sale or gift of any type of U.S. flag where its use might "cast contempt." It will probably go through, but until then, Haiti's peasantry will continue to look like a Navy recruiting poster...
Snub Nose. The easiest, fastest cone to develop was the "heat-sink"' type, made of thick copper. Since copper is an excellent conductor of heat, the cone's front surface could stay solid until the whole mass was near the melting point. To many, it seemed obvious that a nose cone should be made slim and sharp-pointed, capable of piercing the atmosphere with low resistance. But the contrary proved to be the case. Dr. H. Julian Allen of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics argued conclusively that a blunt nose was better for the heat-sink cone...
...Japan's oldest and greatest theater troupes, to whose dance-and-song-dotted productions Japanese audiences go again and again-as they do in the West to nightclub turns or ballets-to savor particular details, or compare performances, or await dramatic or choreographic high points. Unlike previous Kabuki-type visitors to America, Grand Kabuki, as true Kabuki, consists of all-male casts. Though Kabuki actually originated around 1600 with a woman dancer, one of its great modern claims to distinction is its onnagata, or extraordinary female impersonators...
