...question and answer, which will sound over the nation to similar medical societies practicing similar tactics, is no abstract legal issue, but a determination of whether or not such admittedly experimental plans will be granted grace to prove their success or failure. No categorical decision can be rendered on "socialized medicine" versus "private competitive practice," as every high-school debater should know. The issue has too many facets, too large a setting. Doctors (and who should know better?) are sincere in their belief that collectivism will topple the high standards of the profession. The socially conscious, on the other hand...
...Wally's favorite models was Sergeant Alexander Woollcott, star reporter for The Stars and Stripes. Woollcott, elegant of uniform and gait, swooning at the sound of a tire blowout, was pictured with Reporter Hudson Hawley, whom Wally made famous as the "Salut-ing Demon." In the hectic offices of The Stars and Stripes, Wally found other models: Editor Harold Ross, now editor of The New Yorker; Poet Tip Bliss, whose dog tried to bite General Pershing on his only visit to the office; Colyumnist Franklin Pierce Adams (F.

S. cities. Lately, while investigating "the pecuniary rewards of great abilities," Professor Thorndike took a look at the pay of top-notch scientists employed in industry. In American Men of Science he found 72 industrial savants whose names were starred for distinguished research (by vote of their colleagues). He then hunted up as many of their salaries as he could find in the Treasury report...
...England this has been standard practice for 20 years and has been generally successful, since well-chosen issues become "sticky" not because they are unsound investments but only because of sudden market upsets. A good U. S. example was last fall's Pure Oil issue, a sound enough investment which failed to sell because of a market crash. If its underwriters had been an investment trust they could have added the unsold bonds to their portfolio, thus saving their own skins and not impairing the investment trust...
