...clothes-children, however, are gaily and colorfully dressed-but there is no sense of utter poverty. Instead, workers and peasants alike beamingly tell Western visitors of their faith in Mao and his works, and convey a sense of happy participation in their society. Prof. Victor Sidel, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, was favorably impressed by the quality of Chinese medicine on his trip last September: "I'm tempted to say, 'I've seen the future and it works...
Nursery Duty. Most hospital administrators who have tried self-help programs are pleased with the results. Officials at the Hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine say that the system allows them to assign more registered nurses to the seriously ill. The reduced number of nurses in self-help spend much of their time teaching patients how to take care of themselves at home...
...patients seem to mind. "They regain their independence on this floor," says Jeanne Salerno, Einstein's ambulatory care coordinator. She tells of one woman who had been particularly depressed and unwilling to do things for herself. The patient was recently moved to Einstein's self-help unit and encouraged to help out during feeding time in the maternity-ward nursery. Performing a useful task convinced her that she was better and could manage for herself, and a few days later she went home...
Lost Composure. Students at New York's Albert Einstein College of Medicine follow pregnant women through delivery, providing pre-and postnatal care for them and their babies. M.D. candidates entering the University of Missouri's new medical school in Kansas City this fall made hospital rounds on their first day of classes. Visiting the overcrowded wards of Kansas City General Hospital, the 36 students timidly felt a swollen abdomen, saw a diabetic amputee, and stood in stunned silence around the bed of a patient who died as they were on their way to his room. The school...
Some theorists have refused to accept such fantastic consequences of the clock paradox and have sought to disprove it. They have even used the paradox in an effort to challenge all of relativity; for Einstein himself admitted that if only one part of his theory proved wrong, its whole finely structured mathematical edifice would crumble. In the September issue of Physics Today, Physicist Mendel Sachs takes a different tack. He contends that the Einstein theory and equations are correct, but that Einstein misinterpreted the equations in stating the clock paradox. A relativity theorist himself at the State University...
