Typical of the big urban research-treatment centers is Sawtelle Hospital in West Los Angeles. Sawtelle's twelve buildings comfortably house some 6,000 veterans of every U.S. conflict after the Civil War.

...university training table, where, reportedly they get bigger steaks than those given the football team. But the chief gain, as ex-Coach Buchta sees it, is that "on this program we can finally show our brains instead of our muscles.
