Although Bill Douglas will not put his lanky legs on the high court's august desk or chain-smoke cigarets during hearings, he may often wish he could. That is the way he behaved in the chair of SEC.

Next year, if they receive prompt and proper medical care, there seems to be no reason for more than 36,000 people to succumb to the suffocating disease that up to now has been the nation's third biggest killer.
