...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. Obstetrician-gynecologists are also unevenly distributed; while the national median is 1 to 11,915, the ratio in ten states is only 1 to 20,000. There is also some overabundance, for example, one general surgeon for every 7,554 people in the U.S. today. (By contrast, the optimum general-surgeon...

Bubbles did indeed become an opera star, and a smart one at that. She became, in fact, one of the biggest opera stars the U.S. has ever produced. She sang leading roles at the world's great opera houses, from La Scala to Covent Garden to San Francisco, commanded top fees of $10,000 for concert performances and made recordings that turned into classical bestsellers. She became...
Still, a slowly growing number of doctors approve of abortion, especially the younger ones, some of whom euphemistically describe themselves as "specialists in delayed menstruation." A poll of 1,146 New York State obstetrician-gynecologists taken a year ago showed that only 59% favored the liberalized law. A follow-up survey last January showed 69% in favor...
