But in their papers and over their teacups, her sister's subjects, with rising heat, were arguing the pros & cons of a possible marriage between her and 38-year-old R.A.F.

Admissions are arranged only by doctors and other hospitals; individual patients who apply are wasting their time...
...Trautman expects to take a year filling the $64 million center to half its capacity and another year to fill it entirely. Eventually, for care of its patients and to man its 1,100 laboratory spaces, it will have 100 or more physicians and hundreds of other scientists in a total staff of 3,000.
