...medical journal Lancet. At United Manchester Hospitals he has seen 33 cases of bladder-neck obstruction in women, caused by essentially the same process as prostatitis in men. Four responded to careful medical treatment, but in 29 cases he operated to clear the obstruction by removing pieces of excess tissue in the analogous glands...
...credo of Architect Morris Lapidus of Miami Beach is simple and to the point: put your money where it shows. Such cathedrals of pleasure as the Eden Roc, Americana and Fontainebleau (pronounced Fountain Blue) hotels give abundant evidence that Lapidus is a disciple of excess.

But, unlike so many other ex-Communist apologias, this is not an exercise in self-justification; Regler does not claim...
...Cronin's The Citadel (ABC) was superbly acted by James Donald and Hugh Griffith, retelling the story of an English physician whose Hippocratical beginnings disappear in a hypocritical practice on London's fashionable Harley Street. If the play suffered from an excess of blood sugar, Dr. Cronin's professional authenticity more than compensated. No one could write Medic so well...
