...befits a huge industry, U.S. medicine has an impressive plant, and many of its facilities are indeed outstanding. In research and medical technology, the U.S. amazes and leads the world. A newborn baby with a defective heart can probably get the best care at Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital, which operates an elaborate unit exclusively for pediatric cardiology. For surgery on such a baby's heart, U.S. surgeons are preeminent. So are the surgeons who operate on older patients' arteries. For trouble in the brain's arteries, researchers at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center have helped to develop a magnetic probe...
...named Esso Pappas. The only man in the world who has his name right next to Esso's title-on stationery and at gas stations across Greece-is Tom Pappas. Esso Pappas forms the major part of a $190 million complex that also includes a $15 million petrochemical plant run by Ethyl Corp., a fertilizer plant and a steel mill in which Republic Steel has a 15% share.

Lamp-industry workers of the '40s are still dying from berylliosis, a lung disease brought on by exposure to beryllium, a lightweight metal used for coating fluorescent lighting tubes.

...seven were simply dropped. Eleven are still outstanding. "I think that's very generous, considering how these people live," says one officer. "I would even say overgenerous." Even so, the U.S. apparently feels that something more is still owed. Washington has offered to donate a $150,000 desalinization plant to the village for drinking water. With plenty of coffee, wine and cognac on hand, Palomares wants a bigger unit to provide water for irrigation. The plant in any case is yet to be built; the Spanish government, which owns a nearby beach-front inn where the drinking water...
