...Paul Hawley, the American College of Surgeons has been urging county medical societies to crack down on ghost surgery and fee-splitting. Last week the San Diego society did so. It slapped a one-year suspension on Physician Egbert Morris Hayes of Palm City and Surgeon Wesley Walters of Chula Vista. This would not keep them from practicing, but barred them from leading hospitals in the country...
Since Mrs. Howarth had at least known that Dr. Walters was being called in, the case was not the worst example of the evils of ghost surgery. But the San Diego society evidently agreed with Dr. Hawley, who said last year: "No surgeon should do any cutting until he has examined the patient himself. [A] ghost surgeon simply cuts where he is told to cut and takes no responsibility for anything that happens afterward...
...without serving as a comment on "bourgeois morality." But in recent years, the businessman has been emerging as a human and something of a hero. The trend seems transatlantic. In the past year Britain's Nigel Balchin published Private Interests and in 1952 the U.S.'s Cameron Hawley contributed Executive Suite.

Priestley's book is suave, but wanders off into drawing-room...
Executive Suite (MGM) is loaded with enough big names to tear the marquee off the average movie house. William Holden, June Allyson, Barbara Stanwyck, Fredric March, Walter Pidgeon, Shelley Winters, Paul Douglas, Louis Calhern, Dean Jagger and Nina Foch-all appear in this adaptation of Cameron Hawley's bestselling novel about big businessmen locked in a grim struggle for power. And when all the stars together set up a fiercely competitive twinkle for attention, the moviegoer is apt to feel somewhat like a switchboard operator with ten calls blinking at once...
...even though the stars do not always stay in their courses, Author Hawley's story is kept surprisingly well in line by Scenarist Ernest Lehman and Producer John Houseman. The movie follows the novel's basic notions: that Babbitt is not really so dead as Sinclair Lewis buried him; that commerce can be a vital and fascinating form of human activity; that businessmen are not villains and boobs (as they were in the "progressive" literature of the '205 and '305) or necessarily resigned commuters (as they usually are in the works of J. P. Marquand...
