...chapter headings don't clear the confusion any. They're clever (no Cox legalese like "Conditions Giving Rise to the Disturbances"), but hopelessly obscure.

(Greeman, a faculty member, had his scalp split open when he stood between an advancing plainclothesman and the Low Library barricade. Vice-President Truman recalled Greeman's injury as a "bloody nose...
...this mushrooming cost is only the most visible part of the medical crisis syndrome. Taken in a long-term view, it is also the least disturbing part. Much of the rise in hospital cost comes from inevitable--and desirable--sources. The ceaseless stream of marvels that medical researchers produce certainly save more lives.

While American medicine has surged ahead in some areas, it has still lagged in one of its chronic trouble spots. The distribution system that is supposed to send medical benefits out to the public is hopelessly inadequate to its task...
