...hospitals when medicare goes into effect. Last week, pronouncing the occasion "the beginning of a partnership of great promise," Health, Education and Welfare Department Secretary John W. Gardner awarded the first of these contracts to three organizations that already have health plans covering more than 82 million people: the Aetna Life & Casualty Co. and the Travelers Insurance Companies, both of Hartford, Conn., and the giant Chicago-based Blue Cross Association...
...unusual rash of mere disasters. A Pennsylvania Railroad train derailment cost Travelers Insurance Co. $500,000. In the worst fire of the year, 53 men died in a missile-silo explosion at Searcy, Ark.; the entire insurance loss, amounting to almost $1,000,000, was borne by Aetna Life & Casualty Co. Most important, injuries and damage from auto accidents-which account for 40% of all casualty business-reached an alltime high. Not only were accidents more numerous, but they cost more; a smashed windshield, which 15 years ago would have cost $45 to repair, now involves as much...
...Last Masterpiece. "Under these white locks," he bellowed when he was 73, "there is an Aetna!" And Aetna erupted to the end.

The likeliest theory is that a diesel generator had somehow switched on in the third level, throwing a spark into the volatile atmosphere where pipe fitters were working on the hydraulic system. Thus the Titan II, deadliest...
...plan aircraft ascensions in the future? Yes. Will you travel outside the continental United States and Canada? Definitely. Thus completing their application forms, the original seven U.S. spacemen took out $100,000 policies with the Aetna Life Insurance Co. of Hartford. Low-bidding Aetna was reluctant to disclose the cost per man, but indicated that it was somewhat more than a 35-year-old military jet pilot would pay (an annual $1,810 standard premium with a $375 surcharge for extra hazard), but still less than steeplejacks. Since the standard premium varies with age, Senior Astronaut John H. Glenn...
