...officials have stated that the U.S. currently has a shortage of some 50,000 physicians. The American Medical Association disagrees. Reporting in the A.M.A. Journal on the results of a yearlong study of medical manpower, Henry Mason of the association's department of undergraduate medical education concludes that the problem is not scarcity but uneven distribution. In South Dakota, for example, there is only one internist for every 12,813 people. In 18 states, there is only one pediatrician for each 20,000.

At the University of Kan, sas in Lawrence, students have only limited access to 80,000 recently acquired...
...place on the committee persons who would be likely to find for the GSD? The presence on the list of so many persons associated with a conservative political stance and the university version of "law and order"--Professors Anderson, Banfield, Francis Bator, Cox, Deutsch, Heimert, Maass, Mason, to name just a few--suggests that the latter motive was paramount in at least some nominators' minds. Assumedly to balance this possible tendency, I was given the very important right to place names into nomination myself. But this rights was never accorded me, and the slate therefore consisted, and the final committee...
