...dean of the College two years ago has not satisfied those who want the affair investigated. And there can be little question that, in the absence of an inquiry, concern about the appointment is likely to grow more rapidly than knowledge of what actually happened once an account of the appointment is published this summer...
...bank powers. Such legislation would be likely to void any relaxation of Glass-Steagall by the Federal Reserve Board this week. But major banks fully intend to test the limits of how far they can move toward investment services. Last month, for example, Chase Manhattan introduced a deposit account with a yield tied to the stock market's performance. That measure provoked the mutual-fund industry to file a lawsuit alleging violation of Glass-Steagall.

According to the American Hospital Association, women visit doctors 25% more often than men do and account for 63% of all surgery. Eleven of the 20 most frequent surgical procedures (notably tubal ligations and breast biopsies) are performed only on women. Moreover, women generally choose the family doctor and health-insurance package. Such medical realities have led to fierce and unapologetic wooing. Women's HealthCare and Wellness Center in Oak Park, Ill., signed up Dorothy Hamill, Ann Jillian and Rita Moreno to promote its opening last November. Intermountain Health...
