...Doctor an Hour? But before anybody can boost research to rocket speeds, the committee pointed out, the U.S. must more than double the number of people engaged in it-from 20,000 to 45,000. And this means not only more technicians but more physicians, whose training is long, costly and difficult. The U.S. must train 8,900 new M.D.s every year by 1970, as against 6,800 a year now-which will mean setting up 14 to 20 new medical schools. Personnel is already in hen's-teeth supply, causing barefaced piracy. Merck's Connor quoted...
Last week the nation's outlay for medical research was sure of a gentle uplift from Congress, possibly much more. As against a total of $211 million for NIH ($153 million of it for research) in the fiscal year ended June 30, the House voted $219 million for NIH, while the Senate's bill called for an Everest ascent to $321 million.

Jamestown and the Puritans are strictly underplayed; what counts is the early missionary activity. Even geography takes on Catholic overtones, and at our house we are still trying to answer one quiz question, 'Who discovered St. Anthony's Falls...
...Wisconsin and an all-Western fullback in 1908. Dr. Wilce did more than any other coach to give Columbus a permanent football mania, led his teams to three Western Conference championships. He studied bone mending between sessions of bone breaking, earned his M.D. in 1919, went on to do research on the effect of athletics on the heart (conclusion: no permanent damage). Wilce had an intellectual's approach to football, once experimented by painting State's locker room bright red to inspire his meat eaters...
