Some insurance companies are still reluctant to pay for outpatient operations; they equate them with office surgery, which is often not covered by medical policies. But most insurers are delighted with the moneysaving aspects of the idea. Hernia repair, for example, can cost an inpatient more than $600 in costs, exclusive of doctor's fees, at Detroit's St. John Hospital. An outpatient would pay only $301, most of it for the use of the operating room and the anesthesiologist's fees...
Like a Clock. Convenience is an important factor. The garages are open evenings and weekends, when most regular service centers do no major repair work. Know-how, of course, is a problem. While a few centers have staff mechanics on hand to help when serious difficulties crop up, insurance laws in some states prohibit such assistance. Some garages offer expert advice and collections of fix-it literature. They also attract car buffs who are willing to share their knowledge with beginners. Baltex is even organizing a five-session course for customers-tuition: $25. At the Van Nuys, Calif., Auto Hobby...
Across the concourse in Chicago, Dennis Pearson sits in a beach chair behind his entry, a 1967 El Camino pickup truck chromed and painted and gussied up into a real showstopper.

One student goes to the San Francisco Art Institute; others attend Drew School, a prep school that exchanges scholarships for the labor of Delancey residents. "We know public high school campuses are flooded with narcotics, and we want to protect our kids from that," says Indian-born Mon Sandhu, 27. "That's why we send them to private school...
...museum. But some flaking has appeared in the image. The museum depicted below him has developed a crack, which appears to go right through its support. Two groups in the upper left, "The Approbation of the Grateful Masses" and "The Invocation of Camelot" are abraded and blistered beyond repair. Another, "Hoving Accepting the Love of His Curators," has almost vanished. Close analysis suggests that the figures previously supposed to represent "The Purification of the Collections" are in fact a recondite allegory of "Charity to Dealers." The chiaroscuro here is very deep. Condition of other areas, especially "The Domination...
