...large bill like this is going to be a severe jolt to anyone, regardless of financial circumstances," says a neat card prepared by Cutter Laboratories of Berkeley, Calif, and handed out last week by doctors to patients or their kin. And with good reason: Cutter was talking about bills for one of the highest-priced medications currently in general use-fibrinogen, a fraction of human blood. Fibrinogen restores the clotting power of blood, which may almost vanish when a woman hemorrhages during labor, or in patients of either sex after major surgery. Average cost of fibrinogen to the patient...
...Cutter, which markets fibrinogen under the trade name Parenogen, packs an explanatory card with every gram. On a tear-off part aimed at physicians, it urges: "Make sure that this gets to the one who pays the patient's bill, preferably at the time of injection or when the bill is presented.

A BBC man in a business suit is a desecration, complained Taylor. "The BBC should continue to set an example by doing the right thing visually." But Announcer Michael Aspel put the matter in a different light. "There used to be a communal dinner jacket which we just passed...
...that day the four men, defying the Government, the U.S. Navy, and the Atomic Energy Commission, all of which had given orders that no one was to enter the testing area, set sail from Honolulu for Eniwetok. In half an hour they were overtaken by a Coast Guard cutter and towed back to Hawaii. They have now been arrested for criminal contempt of court...
