There is practically no reservation at all in the approval of Dr. Sidney R. Garfield, who founded Kaiser-style group practice in the California desert in 1933. Dr. Garfield was responsible for the health of construction workers on the Colorado River Aqueduct. His earliest plan covered only on-the-job injuries, but soon it was extended to all illnesses and injuries. At Grand Coulee Dam and in Kaiser's World War II shipyards, Dr. Garfield broadened his plan to cover workers' families as well. Modern Medikaiser is based on his early experience...
...plan of this type, insists quiet, shy Dr. Garfield, has two built-in advantages. Doctors, he says, do their best when everything they do is overseen and may be reviewed by their colleagues; patients, on the other hand, go to their doctor sooner when there is no "barrier of cost." This makes possible the most rewarding practice of all: preventive medicine. To provide the personal touch, Kaiser subscribers are given a reasonably long list from which to select a general practitioner or internist to serve as their family physician.

...future is bright. It has just negotiated a $35 million loan from banks and insurance companies to refund some of its debt, build five new clinics, build a new 150-bed hospital and medical center in Santa Clara, and make additions to several present hospitals.

In the last five years, Weston has built a chain of 236 supermarkets in Britain, is adding to it at the rate of three new stores a week, and intends soon to absorb two grocery chains in France...
Bargain Day. Surveying the debacle from the inner offices of brokerage houses, banks and mutual funds, the men who make markets decided that many stocks had touched bottom and now was the time to shop for blue-chip bargains. Monday night, Boston Investment Counselor Garfield Drew, the champion of the Odd Lots Theory (TIME, March 31, 1961), rushed out 4,500 telegrams urging purchases of such hard-hit issues as Polaroid, Xerox and American Machine & Foundry. On Wall Street, mighty Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith sent out a "Buy Flash"; so did Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis, E. F. Hutton, Francis...
