...warn, if the doctor-patient and G.P.-family ratios fall farther. Says Dr. Darley: "The big problem is how to preserve a personalized type of medical care in the face of all the forces that tend to depersonalize it." One plan for which he has high hopes is to develop the practice of "family medicine" itself into a specialty. Pilot programs to do this are beginning, with A.M.A. backing, at Johns Hopkins, Indiana, Kansas and Northwestern. The question is not one of increasing the number of either specialists or "generalists" at the expense of the other. Dr. Darley holds...
Snub Nose. The easiest, fastest cone to develop was the "heat-sink"' type, made of thick copper. Since copper is an excellent conductor of heat, the cone's front surface could stay solid until the whole mass was near the melting point. To many, it seemed obvious that a nose cone should be made slim and sharp-pointed, capable of piercing the atmosphere with low resistance. But the contrary proved to be the case. Dr. H. Julian Allen of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics argued conclusively that a blunt nose was better for the heat-sink cone...
When he showed up at Indianapolis this year, balding Jim Rathmann had a sky-blue Ken-Paul Special, built by Leading Designer A. J. Watson, which could develop 375 h.p. Right from the start, Rathmann turned last week's 500 into a grim, personal duel with Ward. Watching them fight for the lead, spectators on a rickety scaffold in the infield leaned so far forward that the whole structure toppled with agonizing slowness, killing two and injuring 79. Wheel to wheel, lap after lap, Rathmann and Ward kept up their fight, hitting up to 180 m.p.h. on the straightaway...
...first big success, he says, came in 1934 when he developed all-color double nasturtiums a year ahead of the competition. Sweet peas used to be the root of the Burpee flower business. When their sale fell off in the '305, Burpee decided that the public wanted marigolds. There was one big problem: they all smelled bad. One day he received a letter from a missionary offering him for $25 an ounce Tibetan marigold seeds that did not smell. Burpee accepted, found the plants had no smell, but unfortunately had runty blossoms, only one good bloom. Realizing that...
...Strauss first noted the symptoms in patients who had just bought small cars, discovered that the signs usually develop a day or two after the driver begins using the vehicle. The most common complaints are mild muscle spasms or muscle tenderness. The only sure way to relieve the symptoms is to stop driving, says Dr. Strauss, but small-car owners are more likely to make their malady a badge of brotherhood, like a dueling scar. "Once the diagnosis was established," Dr. Strauss notes, "the patients were content to live with their discomfort...
