...Associated Newspapers had bought the exclusive rights to publicize the event from the parents, and the doctors maintained complete secrecy as well. Under the direction of London Bureau Chief Bonnie Angelo, TIME'S correspondents nonetheless managed to turn up firm facts on the sequestered Brown family and Drs. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards...
...years, Steptoe and Edwards have tried this basic technique on a number of infertile women, but Brown is the only one to have carried her baby so close to full term. One British newspaper reported that at least another six women are expecting lab-conceived children within two months. Drs. Steptoe and Edwards say that the Brown "pregnancy is progressing well," but until the baby is born no one can be sure that it is normal...
...award for basic medical research was shared by Drs. K. Sune Bergström and Bengt Samuelsson, both of Stockholm's Karolinska Institute, and Pharmacologist John R. Vane of Britain's Wellcome Research Laboratories. The three men were honored for their pioneering work in identifying and isolating prostaglandins.

Since then, some 46,000 patients have passed through the six operating rooms of their Surgicenter. While the establishment has only recently begun to show a profit, it has spawned three satellite Surgicenters -in Sacramento and Palo Alto, Calif., and in Louisville-and inspired dozens of unaffiliated imitators in other cities. Says Ford: "Up to 40% of all surgery can be done on a come-and-go basis. Our objective is to keep people from being...
