...great extent remains, sickness insurance. Far from putting a premium on preventive medicine and the maintenance of good health, it puts a premium on sickness. Until recently, most Blue Cross plans covered no care outside a hospital, and specifically excluded diagnostic procedures. The result has been connivance to defraud the insurers. Often if a woman needs a diagnostic pelvic examination that might better?but need not necessarily?be done in a hospital, her doctor enters some meaningless diagnosis such as leucorrhea or dysmenorrhea (which practically every woman has now and then) and plunks her in the hospital for two days...
...that sounded like a Shakespearean bid to call spirits from the vasty deep, it came as no more of a surprise than the fact that Baker was testifying at all.

Baker, his mustelid eyes darting intently about the courtroom, went on trial on nine counts of larceny, tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud the Government. The onetime boy wonder and Lyndon Johnson protege, now a pudgy 38, is estimated to have amassed $2,000,000 in assets, though his annual Senate salary was $19,612.

Still standing are charges against Texas Gulf Secretary David Crawford and Richard Clayton, a geophysicist who had helped survey the Timmins ore area. When they bought Texas Gulf stock in April 1964, said the judge, they may have been withholding "material information." Whether they can keep the stock will...
...entitled to use his own name for his business? The common-law right allows a man to use his own name as long as he does not use it to defraud the public. But a recent ruling in California suggests that the right may be dwindling. The owners of Tarantino's, a well-known restaurant on San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, brought suit against Joseph Tarantino and his family, asking that they be enjoined from using their surname on the restaurant that they were operating near Lake Tahoe. A trial court found for Joe Tarantino...
