The idea: to cull the foreign crop by examining medical graduates on their own campuses abroad before they even buy a ticket...
...eight weeks ahead. His editorial staff-far bigger than that of most publishing houses-includes a file of 250 contributing authors, rewrite men and story "doctors," ten editors and readers. McCleery's biggest headaches begin and end with scripts. He maintains a nine-man Manhattan staff to cull magazines, newspapers, plays and book lists.
