...there are similar complaints of Balkanization. Pathologists, shut off in their laboratories studying specimens from patients they never see, resent the radiologists' monopoly of tracer studies done with radioactive isotopes. Plastic surgeons, whose practice is supposed to be little more than skin-deep, can hardly lift the scalpel without trespassing. Said one: "Every operation in my field crosses other specialties' borderlines." But it works both ways: the plastic men complain that ear-nose-throat specialists are too willing to bob noses...

Concludes Knowles: "Our economic growth is within our own control. Without changing our economic system in any fundamental way, without instituting elaborate controls and without Government-imposed forced high rates of capital accumulation," the U.S. economy can grow at a rate as high as 5.2% a year...
