...widespread problem is considerable confusion among beneficiaries as to just what Medicare covers. Many are disappointed to learn that they must still pay the first $40 of hospital bills, for instance, and that Medicare does not provide such items as eyeglasses. Some patients over 65 are also finding their gross doctor bills going up, even while the net cost to them may fall. A New York Times survey last week indicated that physicians accustomed to charging reduced fees to care for older patients of limited means are now asking their regular rates. Under the optional Part B of Medicare, subscribed...
...Whitman told his psychiatrist he had a desire to shoot people from high places. That nothing was done in the light of this threat I consider to be a gross moral, if not professional, lapse on the part of the psychiatrist. It is criminal that this boy could have seen a psychiatrist and not have had basic tests done, such as an encephalogram, which could have spotted the cause of his suffering and led to control of his antisocial behavior...
...role in Katharine Cornell's Antony and Cleopatra ("Miss Cornell is a tall woman and likes to have tall actors around"). From there, it was roles in TV and a lead in his first film, Dark City.

Other well-wishers sent the bride enough frilly garters to outfit the Folies-Berg...
...bitter medicine to Erhard, but he has little choice. The cost of living went up 4.5% during the twelve months that ended in April. Spending by government, both federal and state, was bloated by 12% in 1965, much more than the still substantial growth of 8.4% in the gross national product. Erhard himself has been booed by coal miners in the Ruhr, whose industry is threatened by the Europe-wide revolution in oil, natural gas and atomic energy. The coal malaise has spread to steel-partly because the steel companies themselves produce 40% of West German coal-with the result...
