...biggie," as they say in Hollywood argot, will be the banquet for 500 thrown by Nancy Reagan. The dinner will be held at 20th Century-Fox on sound stage No. 9, recently vacated by the cast of M*A*S*H (see VIDEO). A western theme and a Main Street, U.S.A., motif were rejected as insufficiently classy. Instead the set will be decked out with bucolic backdrops and a large central fountain to give the atmosphere of a park. The dinner is considered informal. In California that can mean décolletage and gold chains for the men and metallic...
Stage 9 of the 20th Century-Fox studios in Los Angeles is dark. The backdrop of khaki-drab Korean hills and everything that might serve as inventory, booty or memento have disappeared. Gone are the tables, tubing, clamps and surgical gowns from O.R.; neither the blandly frazzled Lieut.

In fact, most Harvard students taking Core courses are no more likely to have read and seriously understood the philosophical, political, or cultural foundations...
...YOUNGEST SCIENCE IS not just a graceful account of the impact of 20th century scientific advances on the practice of medicine; the book is also Thomas' autobiography. Something of an impressionistic self-portrayal, it paints him at various points in his life: his youth with a doctor and a nurse as parents, his time at the Med School, his first internship in Boston, and his moves around the country as he took positions at different medical schools...
...cause of death today. In 1978 alone, he estimated number of deaths due the cancer was five times higher than all American military deaths from the Vietnam and Korean wars combined. The government and the private sector pour billions of dollars yearly into a nationwide attempt to conquer this 20th century plague. Unfortunately: much of this well-intentioned money has been mishandled...
