...backed financially and morally by Second Husband Humphrey Verdon Roe (a wealthy airplane manufacturer), Marie Stopes founded the world's first birth-control clinic in London. At its opening, crowds yelled that she was immoral, threw brickbats. But London's women made the clinic a success. Marie Stopes founded others up and down Britain. Gradually the stone throwing and vilification stopped (though the London Times for a while slapped a ban on ads for her books and clinics, kept it in effect until 1953). Thus far, Married Love has sold more than 1,000,000 copies...

In working days of 14 to 18 hours, she devoted her seemingly inexhaustible energy to the diagnosis and treatment of indigestion, peptic ulcers (in stomach, duodenum and small bowel...
...Jordan, retirement from practice at the Lahey Clinic and New England Baptist Hospital will not mean taking off a starched white coat: she has not worn one since internship, has favored trim dresses and suits that emphasize the briliant china blue of her eyes. Neither will retirement mean less activity-only more variety. She has a lot of technical medical writing to catch up on, wants to get back to the classics she has had to neglect for so long, and to learn Spanish. Dr. Jordan wants more free time with her second husband, retired Investment Banker Penfield Mower...
