...coroner, who in many parts of the country is an elected official, can, after he has investigated a case, select a jury, call witnesses, and advise the jury on its verdict as to the manner of death. Furthermore, in some areas the coroner is not required to be a physician, and undertakers have, on occasion, assumed the position. A medical examiner, on the other hand, must be a doctor, and has no independent authorities. He can only report his findings to the district attorney...
...Slugabed. Editorial writers chided Johnson for flouting doctor's orders, but his physician resolved the dilemma by hedging his postoperative advice. Mayo's Dr. James Cain, an old Johnson friend, said diplomatically: "I meant that President Johnson should not drive a car over rough ranch roads where a sudden stop might be necessary...
...sign of hospitality in America," said the visiting Danish physician, "is an uncomfortable chair."

Its symptoms remain naggingly familiar. The victim is usually a ma ture woman, who first notices the trou ble in her 20s.

Chancellor Franklin Murphy, a physician, explains the motivation: "What a nearby hospital means to a medical man, a theater means to a drama student." So good has this theater group become that next year it will move to Los Angeles' downtown Music Center as its permanent repertory company (and U.C.L.A. will start another group). Comparable umbilical links with professional theaters were established in succeeding years by the University of Minnesota and San Antonio...
