Oldfashioned, mebbe, but Troy, Ohio, Feed Mill Owner Russell Stacy Altman, 76, just didn't trust banks completely. Now 10-gal. milk cans buried near the mill, that's a different thing. So last month, in delirium on his deathbed at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic, Altman told his son and daughter about the milk cans. They thought it was a little strange, but nevertheless, after a decent interval, they decided to dig around a little. By the end of last week they had unearthed three of them, stuffed with...
...contract to the hospital. The payment system is complicated, but none of the four has lost any income despite the fact that all of them now enjoy regular hours and scheduled vacations. For the patient, a trip to the emergency room is like the first visit to a private clinic; the doctors might well be the family physicians of a group practice unit. The difference is that in the Alexandria emergency room, each patient is seen and treated only once for each "emergency." If he needs further treatment, he is referred back to his own doctor...
...Danny Kaye, 50, told a questioner at a July 4 party in Moscow. His Russian hosts were beginning to get the message. On hand for a Moscow film festival, the perennial pixy was soon romping and rolling his way into youngsters' hearts at the Moscow Children's Clinic and a ballet school.

...pieces together snippets of film with an eye to the ironies of adjacency. On some cutting-room floor he found a covey of beauties, crones, trulls, trollops, moms, boss ladies, drabs, drudges, and just plain broads, and he has put side by side on the screen the anatomical, clinical and professional details of their lives. Women's charms include: a Japanese operation in which breasts are pumped up with liquid paraffin; a trip through a Los Angeles falsie factory; a window-shopping tour of Hamburg's bawdy-house district, where the fat hussies are on display like...
With a capacity for some 400 patients, Schweitzer's clinic is forever jammed. The sick, carrying paper tags with their names, villages and tribes, wait for hours to see the doctors, are bedded down on straw-mattress cots in dark, stench-ridden huts whose earth floors are awash during the rainy season. Outside, over open fires, the patients' women relatives cook, while a horde of chickens, dogs and goats (protected under Schweitzer's "reverence for life" mystique by which no living thing should be unnecessarily disturbed) roam at will, adding freely to the surrounding filth. When...
