...This year," said President Kennedy, "or certainly as inevitably as the tide comes in, next year, this bill is going to pass." Retorted American Medical Association President Leonard Larson: "This bill will be defeated. You may see the end of this in the 87th Congress." Thus, last week, the Administration and the A.M.A. squared off for a fight over the President's program to provide medical care for the aged under social security.

Representatives and Senators gathering for this week's opening of the 87th Congress. Second Session, found the Capitol Hill landscape somewhat rearranged. The giant new $100 million House office building, only a web of rusty girders when Congress adjourned last September, was resplendent in a coat of white Georgia marble, though it will not be ready for occupancy for at least another year. New parapet lights illuminated the ornate designs on the Senate's arched ceiling, which have generally been shrouded in darkness since Constantino Brumidi painted them nearly a century ago. Space inside the reconstructed east front...
