...forecasts show a vast need for more trained people in the field of health. Dr. Roger Egeberg, former Assistant Secretary of HEW, estimates that the country needs 50,000 more doctors, 150,000 medical technicians and 200,000 more nurses. Some of the newer specialties are thoracic surgery, neurological surgery, physical and medical rehabilitation, and preventive medicine. One new field that bridges two disciplines is biomedical engineering, developing such devices as the pacemaker for the heart. Several programs have been devised to train "paramedics," physicians' assistants who can take over some of the doctors' more routine tasks. One of them...
...somehow, between Thursday evening and Saturday evening, a lot happened. Perhaps it was the arrival of thousands of new people, the newer, more idealistic radicals whose militance had not crushed every bit of love they had out of them. Friends gathered, hugged, and began to care about each other. Perhaps it was the rock concert Saturday night and the people who came to hear it. Everyone on The Land had nothing but scorn for the "weekend hippies" across the road who, it was felt, would leave before the action started Monday. The radicals with their commitment...
Fight or Fold. Some of Fleet Street's newer and more modern-minded proprietors, such as Canadian-born Thomson and Rupert Murdoch (TIME, Jan. 12, 1970), are trying to hold the line on budgets and resist union demands.

Of the "popular" papers, the conservative Daily Express (circ. 3,500,000) and the pro-Labor Daily Mirror (circ. 4,500,000) remain profitable, although both have been losing readers lately to Murdoch...
...head of a Japanese company is bowed and scraped to by gaggles of company-smocked office girls, drivers and flunkies. The company-paid geisha party for executives is still common, though some newer firms are getting away from it. Almost always, the businessman's wife must accept a new form of concubine: the company. In a recent survey, 68% of the Japanese managers polled said that business was more important to them than their families...
Strong Difference. Since the boating boom of the early 1960s, though, boatmen and lawmen have agreed that old-fashioned heads are no longer adequate. But they differ strongly in their assessment of two newer ways to control boat sewage: 1) "primary treatment" on board in a device known as a macerater-chlorinator, which vents the purified effluent over the side; or 2) an on-board holding tank requiring that the effluent be pumped out at a dockside station, which in turn pumps it into a local sewage-disposal system...
