...fees charged by doctors and dentists. Such fees accounted for about 29% of the $2.4 billion spent by Washington and the states on Medicaid last year (the Federal Government spent an additional $6 billion on Medicare). Under present regulations, Medicaid fees are determined by the states. The new rule establishes federal standards that will limit fees in most states to the level that prevailed last January. Increases will be permitted, but only under a formula based on the consumer price index. The new regulation is expected to save about $65 million in its first year of operation and substantially more...
Slow Listening. Rooney's rule of writing is to stick to short declarative sentences. He is forever quoting Thoreau's comment that "If a man has anything to say, it drops from him simply and directly like a stone to the ground." He adds that "people talk faster than they listen, and you have to give them time to hear what you've said. Clever phrases make slow listening."

On his second try he cleared what was ultimately the winning height of 17ft. 8½ in., but the jump was nullified because his pole passed under the bar.

...Administration, however, prefers to rely on the courts rather than on Congress. William J. Boyd, chief of the Federal Trade Commission's mergers division, notes that the courts almost always rule in favor of the Government in merger cases. Boyd feels sure that "despite the changing composition of the Supreme Court, the Government will continue to win its merger cases." He has reason to think so. In a major suit involving Reynolds Metals Co. and Arrow Brands, Inc., in 1962, the presiding judge declared that the Government has sufficient grounds to break up a merger that merely...
