...charm, intelligence and breeding necessary to grace an embassy table. There was only one trouble: she talked too much. Daisy's outspoken comments and uninhibited ways often got her husband into trouble.

There are some gleaming exceptions, among them the Clinical Center of the National Institute of Health at Bethesda, Md., the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Los Angeles, the Jefferson Medical College Hospital's new pavilion in Philadelphia.
