...Pentagon has belatedly moved to meet one of the minor complaints-that pregnant women who outgrow their uniforms undermine morale by appearing at work in civvies. The Air Force and Navy have introduced maternity uniforms over the past 18 months. (The Navy sells them; the Air Force gives them away.)

One doctor will pre scribe twice as much of a potent antibiotic as another, or prescribe a needlessly dangerous drug. One surgeon will hurry to operate, while another will say, "This child will outgrow the problem," and spare the knife...
