...house on a smooth-running Arizona ranch. He was looking through the pages of LIFE one day when he stopped at a picture story about Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who 51 years ago gave up a brilliantly versatile career−as theologian, organist, teacher and musicologist−to become a doctor and work among the natives in the African jungle. "There was a picture of Dr. Schweitzer and an antelope," Mellon recalls. "I had thought he was an organist...
...class. Early is just finishing a fruitful year of internship at San Diego Naval Hospital, during which he has worked up to 105 hours a week, delivered 50 babies, done 23 hernia operations, snipped 21 appendices and twelve sets of tonsils-altogether 178 operations under supervision of a senior doctor.

Outwardly, Eero (pronounced arrow) Saarinen (rhymes with far-'n-then) looks like a country family doctor, dresses with the casualness of a young college prof, prefers to live clear of the cities, in the rolling countryside of Bloomfield Hills, Mich. (pop. 2,100), 18 miles from downtown Detroit. His headquarters is a simply constructed, often cluttered office shed he designed for himself, just two minutes' drive from his home over winding country roads. Even with an office staff of 43, Saarinen's is a small operation by comparison with the major U.S. architectural organizations, e.g., Skidmore, Owings...
