...fellow interns have two more calendar years of medical school behind them. "I feel I'm among peers," he says matter-of-factly. So, apparently, do many of the almost 70 other young M.D.s who graduated this year from three U.S. medical campuses that have reduced the normal medical curriculum by two years...
...year wonders. The big difference now, however, is that the new accelerated courses have no "crash" concept behind them. What they have done is lop off many of the nonscientific aspects of a professional education. Most of the courses utilize the summer months, provide about the same training as normal medical-school programs. "These programs are designed to let the bright young man go at his own pace," says Dr. Shevis Smyth of the Association of American Medical Colleges, "to give him the best medical education as fast as he can absorb it."

...among the major Arab producers had failed to resume shipments of at least some oil to other countries. Nonetheless, Arab oil, which supplied one-third of the world's needs until the outbreak of last month's Arab-Israeli war, was flowing at less than half its normal rate of 10,300,000 bbl. a day.

Kuwait, which gets more than 90% of its $695 million government budget from oil revenues, is exporting barely half its normal 2,600,000 bbl. a day. No better off is Iraq, which depends on oil for 80% of its income, but has resumed shipments beyond the Arab world only to France and Turkey. Nasser's bankrupt United Arab Republic is losing $700,000 a day in Suez Canal revenue, has not begun clearing the canal...
