...true that there are healthy suburban hospitals that have been largely spared the city's crises. But many rural hospitals are also swamped with trauma cases: farming, fishing and forestry are the most dangerous occupations in America. Isolated from major urban centers, rural hospitals are struggling to recruit and train emergency physicians and to pay for the sophisticated trauma networks that make all the difference in saving accident victims. At the same time they are coping with the AIDS patients, drug overdoses and hospital overcrowding that were once largely confined to the cities. "Sometimes this place is like a M.A.S.H...
Last week students, many sporting yellow armbands and BETTER DEAD THAN COED T shirts, continued to boycott classes and blockade buildings. The faculty (51% women, 49% men) volunteered to recruit more female students and teach more courses at no extra cost if the trustees would permit Mills to remain an all-female enclave.

Bell, who is black, now concedes that the description was "a bit unfair." But he still sees a "gap between the school's saying 'We're trying as hard as we can for diversity' and the hiring record." That record fully supports Bell's complaint...
Most of the trainees are in their late 20s and look toward the FBI as a second career. Few have previous law-enforcement experience. Although the agency once tried to recruit lawyers, Pledger says the emphasis now is on hiring accountants. Their main mission: to track the drug trade. "We use financial investigative techniques to audit books and seize assets," says Pledger. "It's the best way to put the dopers behind bars...
