...enormous strides in the past, more frequent medical care in virtually every part of the country is a sine qua non for a rise in the standards of national health. Only through well-equipped clinics, which in many cases will have to receive state subsidies, can our humbler citizens afford expert, specialized consultation. Those who furiously denounce all group practice as "undemocratic" and "socialistic" are still living in the Horse and Buggy Days. Only by efficient, economical use of the new weapons at its disposal can the medical profession march on to new triumphs in its ceaseless struggle against disease...
...those men who feel they should have some knowledge of Greek culture and yet cannot afford three courses, the Classics Department should make some provision. While reading Greek in translation is appreciation second-hand, it is better than none at all.

...work on the Limited Editions Club's 37-volume Shakespeare, he still holds his job as adviser to the Harvard University Press. Theoretically he is supposed to be retired; the catch is that he cannot afford to be. As independent as he is softspoken, Bruce Rogers prefers to die in harness rather than cash in on purely commercial work. Last year his earnings were $1,200; his peak (for two years only) was $10,000 a year...
