...Lobbing. Says Carol Asada, 22, a pre-med junior at U.C.L.A. and president of Medicus, a pre-med student organization: "There's a lot of hostility and jealousy among students who are getting top scores." Complains another premed: "They're afraid if they tell you something you may get a better score than theirs." Few friendships survive such pressures. "One person might have a copy of last year's exams in a course and absolutely won't show it to anyone else," moans another Duke student...
...medicine. Librarians feed selected references from articles in 2,400 periodicals into two Honeywell computers. Then, by the use of key words, the computers each year arrange 150,000 citations alphabetically. This list is printed by a computer-driven phototypesetter, and the result is a book, the Index Medicus, which goes to 7,000 libraries around the world. A researcher in London, for example, can leaf through the Index, find the citation he wants, and request it of his local librarian, or, if necessary, seek a copy from Bethesda. Chemists benefit from a similar service in Columbus, Ohio, where articles...
...psychiatrists recently made long-range studies of Adolf Hitler. In-The New Republic last week an anonymous one called Medicus, warning against the dangers of such guesses, tentatively diagnosed him as a schizophrenic who was disappointed in his mother and has been expressing that disappointment in aggression all his life.

...report which the officers of the American Medical Association submitted to their 101,754 members last week demonstrated that that high-minded body is a profitable publishing concern. It publishes the semi-learned Journal of the American Medical Association, popular Hygeia, eight learned special journals, a Quarterly Cumulative Index Medicus and the American Medical Directory. The A. M. A. also operates a co-operative medical advertising bureau for 32 State medical journals...
With its other publications, the A. M. A. has not been so successful. Hygeia, the health magazine, which Dr. Fishbein also edits, last year lost $2,059. (In 1933 it lost $30,127.) Special publications-including the erudite Archives of Internal Medicine, the stupendous Quarterly Cumulative Index Medicus (cumulative index of significant articles in 1,300 medical publications), the 11-lb. Directory of U.S. and Canadian doctors-piled up a total deficit of $72,458 last year...
