Almost 30 years ago, Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law the Social Security Act. At the moment of signing, he issued a statement that, in retrospect, sounds almost apologetic: "We have tried to frame a law which will give some measure of protection to the average citizen and his family against the loss of a job and against poverty-ridden old age. This law, too, represents a cornerstone in a structure which is being built but is by no means complete. It is a structure intended to lessen the force of possible future depressions...
Atlas of Anatomy. The surgeons needed free access to the patient's neck region, so they cut a hole into his windpipe and inserted a tube through which he got all later anesthesia.

Most of the volunteers are Harvard and Radcliffe students who make the 45-minute subway journey to Roxbury several times a week...
Television endowed Jack Paar with celebrity and millions of midnight fans. And because he is at heart a generous man, their devotion inspired him to share even more of himself than the camera can frame. His first two books were gratefully received by the disciples, who installed both on the bestseller lists. This one takes his flock past the same datelines-Moscow, Papeete, Lambarene, Brasilia-that the Paar family, trailing minions, visited over the past few years. The writing has the flickering quality of home movies, for which John Reddy, the Reader's Digest staff writer and Paar...
