...reached or exceeded national levels in reading or math. But the gains were spotty. Among sixth-graders, 69% reached the average level in math but only 40% got there in reading. As a result, the firm had to refund $75,000 to the school system. Still, Gary Superintendent Gordon L. McAndrew pronounced the overall results "encouraging...
...John's identity is not the only surprise on The Sun, Moon and Herbs. Indeed, there are several 'surprises'...among them, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Carl Raddle, Jim Gordon, Graham Bond, Bobby Whitlock, Doris Troy and the Memphis Horns. Dr. John weaves them into his spell, and they fit perfectly to help create the sound of electric bayou...
...supply-that has long been obvious. Now the dimensions of the gap have been measured, and found to be immense, by a leading South African medical educator. In a book to be published this week in time for the Ottawa meeting of the World Medical Association, Professor Isador Gordon of the University of Natal concludes that present efforts to meet the crisis merely by training more doctors are likely to fail...
Titled World Health Manpower Shortage: 1971-2000, Gordon's report is probably the most exhaustive inventory of global health resources ever undertaken. It is also the most depressing, for it shows that most nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America are capable of providing health care for only a minuscule fraction of their populations.

He believes that such workers are essential to provide basic medical care in doctor-short areas and also to increase the productivity of regular physicians...
