...such intangibles as ambience and climate, but also by solid surroundings: beaches, swimming pools, stores, arts and crafts centers, restaurants, a tennis stadium there are already eight golf courses, almost back to back, at least one of international caliber, and two more are abuilding. Ekahi condo owners alone have access to two golf courses, four swimming pools and eleven (soon to be 24) tennis courts. When not in use by its owners, a three-bedroom town house can rent for up to $260 a night; if shared by two visiting couples with children, the rental can provide cheaper lodgings than...
With no faculty of its own, Radcliffe was from the start a slightly anomalous appendage to Harvard, a few rented classrooms that offered extra dollars to Crimson faculty members who chose to come and lecture to the ladies. The school was chartered to offer women "equal access" to a Harvard education, but not until 1943 did Harvard, its enrollment reduced by the war, let most Radcliffe women into its classes.

Because insurance usually covers in hospital care, doctors tend to hospitalize a patient for procedures which could be done on an outpatient basis, to keep the patient in the hospital...
Although Sisco conceded the risks emphasized by Akins and Bill, he thought they could be averted, or at least dampened, by putting out an announcement to the effect that "we are strengthening our position to assure access to the sea lanes and the oil. As long as there is no interference with them, nobody has anything to worry about; the increased presence of the U.S. has nothing to do with the internal affairs of other people. Everybody would read this statement and know damn well that if something occurred the military force was at least there as an option...
