Despite Alley's calculations, Borman's tongue-in-cheek overtime demand is valid only for Astronaut Anders, who made his first space flight in Apollo 8. When Borman and Lovell were crewmates on the two-week orbital mission of Gemini 7, the time dilation effect was dominant for the entire period; the two astronauts thus aged less than those on earth by approximately 400 microseconds. Lovell's time also slowed down by about 100 microseconds during the four-day flight of Gemini...
...trouble, it develops, is that too few Britons are getting legal abortions under the National Health Service, which has too few gynecological surgeons and hospitals with enough ob-stetrics-gynecology beds to satisfy the rising demand.

Even though as many as 15,000 of these operations this year may be performed...

It is easier and quicker to diversify by buying a going concern than by starting from scratch. But Government antitrust barriers often stand in the way of combinations within a company's own field. They may prevent not only "horizontal" mergers with competitors...
