...most inflammatory question of our time," proclaimed the full-page advertisements of a tobacco company last year. The question: "Hey, would you put out that cigarette?" To cigarette producers and to the nation's 60 million smokers, those sound like fighting words. But to nonsmokers, the request appears to be increasingly reasonable and justifiable...
...seats and elevators, and a modern air-conditioning system. The reopening of the hall last week was celebrated with a gala concert that featured performances by Stern, Mezzo-Soprano Marilyn Horne, Frank Sinatra and Pianist Vladimir Horowitz.

Some snake oil will be sold to those impatient for good methods of measurement, but, in the longer run, the serious efforts of health services researchers and managers are more likely than not to yield sound and credible measurement tools for the quality of care. Armed with those tools--but not without them--we may be able to defend the value of a health care system which today is squeezed between the excesses of its past and the market-driven constraints of its future...
