...style professionals would be thunderous in their denouncement of such conformity, but they are its ideologues. Design Hotels-a group whose 142 member properties probably corner the world market in white furniture and puzzling chrome ornaments-compiles the raving apologia of academics and designers in its own, biannual journal (sample: "Hotels of the avant-garde are rapidly becoming the starting points for experiences of reality that allow orientation in a world that is both falling apart and coming together"). Thames & Hudson publishes the Hip Hotels series, an anthology of vacuity, as well as the StyleCity collection of travel guides...
Early cancer testing is always a good idea, but it might not be a lifesaver. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds that CT scans to detect lung cancers may not result in fewer deaths. Using statistical models, the authors calculated that when small lesions were diagnosed in patients, they ended up with the same mortality rate as those not screened. It turns out that the scans could pick up growths that do not progress into deadly cancer. However, another study, published last fall, found that screening shrinks death rates. The definitive trial...
...also incredibly faster. The first primitive railroads started here and there in the 1830s, but during the '40s, "railroad mania" had kicked in--four times as much track was laid in 1848 as the year before. Everyone spoke of the resulting "annihilation of time and space," and in a journal called the Quarterly Review a writer predicted that "as distances [are] thus annihilated, the surface of our country would, as it were, shrivel in size until it became not much bigger than one immense city...
...Recently, America's premier orthopedic publication, The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, published a scholarly research paper that compared patients who have had their fresh clavicle fractures repaired surgically with patients who were treated the old way. The researchers (who seem to do a lot of operating on clavicles) found that people who had the surgery actually had less pain and less bump than those treated only with the support. So surgery as the best initial treatment is the researchers' suggestion. That's a conclusion which every orthopedist who has treated these fractures - as well as every patient, understandably...
