...guardian of the standards of U.S. surgery-and, incidentally, of the prerogatives of surgeons-made a shocking charge last week. Said Dr. Paul R. Hawley, director of the American College of Surgeons: "It is reliably estimated that today one-half of the surgical operations in the U.S. are performed by doctors who are untrained or inadequately trained to undertake surgery." One of "the most distinguished surgeons in the world" (whom he would not identify) had told him, said Dr. Hawley, that at least half his current practice "consists of attempts to correct the bad results of surgery ... by doctors inadequately...
Physician Hawley offered this explanation: nowadays, nearly everybody has insurance to cover the basic cost of surgery, and every insured patient is a paying patient. At the Manhattan dinner where Hawley spoke, Dr. David M. Heyman got in a plug for systems such as the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York, of which he is honorary board chairman.

In the winter and spring of 1958, the minister's son, Presidential Assistant Gabriel Hauge, showed the same old-fashioned fortitude in the face of icy winds of another kind. With the U.S. economy slipping downward, panicky cries for drastic federal intervention rang out in Washington and across the U.S. But calm, articulate Gabriel Hauge, sometime economics teacher at Princeton and Harvard, economics assistant...
...there was a large-eared, drip-nosed fugitive from multiplication and Sunday school ... He lived in the Victorian, gabled, ginger-bready house of his maternal grandpa, a sea captain with a bushy mustache. This man's name was Edward Hall Adkins. The Negroes called him Cap'n Hawley and the white folks called him Ned Hall. Ned could shoot very fine and whittle very good and in his eyes a small boy was never never very wrong...
