...apple a day may keep the doctor away, but what brings him to you when he is needed? Your cover story about the condition of U.S. medicine [Feb. 21] is an answer to the tired taxpayers', angered insurance policyholders' and bedraggled yet interested citizens' prayer! Up to this point, religion, politics, sex, and especially education have been placed on the American scaffold. What makes medicine sacrosanct? Bravo for the expose of both the overworked, underpaid members of the medical profession and the utter lack of recourse of nearly all U.S. citizens in approaching the business of medicine...
...Atlantic played its Super Star for all she was worth and Aretha brought home some heavy income. She also did some of the best songs done in '68 or any other year, "The House That Jack Built" and "Say A Little Prayer." Aretha is honest, she sings it the way she feels it. Her sales should have encouraged all involved to believe her best course would be to continue to deal in her own way. Not so.

These compositions owe something to rock, something to soul and something to Gilbrerto. But it is rock without the acid, soul without the traditional soul beat and orchestrations, Gilberto without the relaxing rhythms...
TIME says: "He reappeared at Nixon's inauguration to deliver a prayer that sounded more like a sermon-and was not overly kind to his earlier host at the White House." This implies that I was critical of former President Johnson in my prayer. Nothing could be further from the truth. I simply summed up what I have been preaching for 25 years...
...have discussed with former President Johnson many times the overwhelming problems facing America. I would never stoop to using such a platform for partisan criticism-especially of a man whom I admire, respect and love as I do former President Johnson. He most certainly did not interpret my prayer in the way TIME did because when I turned around on the platform and shook his hand, he said: "That was a wonderful prayer. God bless you." When he and his family left the platform, both Lynda and Luci came over and hugged and kissed...
