...high, the weather clear and, according to the National Weather Service, likely to stay that way for several days. Salvatore "Sam" Favaloro, 60, should be out at Georges Bank, some 160 nautical miles from his home port of Gloucester, Mass., fishing for cod and haddock in his 70-ft. trawler Cara Lyn. Instead, he is tied up at a dock in Gloucester's inner harbor, worrying about how he is going to pay for the parts he needs for Cara Lyn's engine...
...stringent regulations have cut down on their catches. But the fishermen who are staying in port these days are doing so because they cannot get or afford insurance for their boats and because, in most cases, they cannot sail without it. "I don't know what to do," says Favaloro, spreading huge hands scarred by a lifetime of handling nets and lines, and relating how the cost of his insurance has doubled since 1981.

Dudley Johnson of Milwaukee, a hard-driving perfectionist who claims credit for the first double and triple bypass grafts, tends to agree, though he differs slightly in his approach to arterial problems. He questions whether angiography tells a surgeon all that he needs to know and feels that some conditions must be observed more thoroughly to be properly evaluated. As a result, Johnson operates on many patients whom the Cleveland crew would reject as unfit...
