...that the evening session would be a routine drafting session, which most heads of government would probably skip, and Dulles suggested Ike could skip it too. But when the news reached the Palais de Chaillot that Ike was not coming, consternation swept the meeting. Quickly, Dulles put in a call to the U.S. residency, told Ike that the other heads of government were there, and that there was a feeling of deep concern. Without more ado, Ike clapped on his hat, climbed into his car, and with ten motorcycle policemen leading the way, sped to the Palais. Shortly after...
...Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Aguecheek are no subtler or funnier than the names they bear. However fetchingly its poetry may glisten through the monkeyshines, it is a comedy of errors usually compounded in production.

As expected, general practitioners make most of the house calls (75%). Next come internists (almost 13%) and pediatricians (about 6%). General surgeons make less than 3%, obstetricians and gynecologists just over...
...many doctors held out for the advantages of the old-fashioned home visit, pointing out that the family setting tells a great deal about the patient. Nearly all physicians try to avoid calling on obvious cranks, drunks who become remorseful in the middle of the night, and narcotics addicts; nearly all eventually make the call if there is any doubt in their minds as to the urgency of the case...
