...years ago, in a cover story on the "Plight of the American Patient," TIME noted with alarm that a typical American hospital charged $60 a day for a room, more than many resort hotels. The price has since doubled or even tripled, and this week's cover story examines the epidemic that has made health care far more expensive than national defense...
...Washington, Correspondent Eileen Shields found that reporting the story required expertise in all three subjects, but especially one she happens to have mastered. A New York-based business reporter for four years, Shields was assigned last year to cover HEW. "I thought I left economics reporting behind," she says. "But the health care story, with its barrage of statistics and efficiency rating figures, is as much about business as anything else." The story also required healthy feet.

...given day. Then the hospitals must charge more than ever to cover the cost of maintaining those empty beds. A case in point: New York City spent $200 million on its ultramodern 510-bed Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, then found it had a city wide surplus of some 3,000 beds.

In 1935 he emigrated to America, and seven years later he sold TIME his first and favorite cover portrait (of Jawaharlal Nehru). TIME'S most prolific cover artist, Chaliapin was also its swiftest: he was able to complete...
...revelation: "An actual farmer I am not." The woman who suffered chest pains-and a visit from a red-wigged Howard Hunt-around the time she was called upon to testify about the memo still feels "lousy, more because of mileage than years." Having exchanged the world of cover-ups for that of coveralls, at 60 she passes her days "relaxing and getting fat," and presumably keeping her distance from the Dictaphone...
