...spectacular growth of medical care dedicated solely to Fido, Fifi, Polly and friends. There are now 30,000 doctors of veterinary medicine in the U.S., and the number is rising. In addition, there are more than 1,000 U.S. and Canadian animal hospitals. These range from small storefront one-doctor facilities to such gleaming temples of animal care as the nine-story Animal Medical Center on New York's East Side, an edifice that has operating rooms, pharmacies, research labs and a 24-hour emergency room...
Field Coordinator Nick Nicholson was ready for trouble as he turned briskly into the Jimmy Carter storefront office in downtown Indianapolis last week. For months he had traveled around the country trying to sign up voters. It had been discouraging: only a few volunteers ever showed up, and there was rarely enough money for buttons and bumper stickers to soften up a sullen public...
...name, Zukor had a simple formula for success: "Look ahead a little and gamble a lot." In the early 1900s, he and another immigrant furrier, Marcus Loew, gambled on the fledgling moving picture business-first with a string of penny arcades featuring flickering, hand-cranked "peep-shows," later with storefront nickelodeons.

Somewhere along the strip of cheap bars, industrial warehouses and porno bookstores which line Detroit Avenue, one storefront advertises CELEBREZZE FOR CONGRESS. Anthony J. Celebrezze Jr., a state senator since 1974, is one jump ahead of the pack at this premature measuring point according to a recent private poll. And--although Detroit Avenue is a far cry from Nini's Corner, the Celebrezze headquarters is heavily staffed by Harvard people. Ira Forman '74, campaign manager, came back to Harvard in December to recruit, and with the aid of Office of Career Services and Off-Campus Learning (OCS-OCL) staffers...
Operating on a shoestring budget out of storefront headquarters near Paris' Gare de Lyon railroad station, M.S.F. has sent medical teams flying off to the most remote corners of the world. Almost as soon as it gets word of a medical emergency, M.S.F. responds. A duty officer at the cramped headquarters scans his file cards and quickly puts together an appropriate team that usually consists of a doctor, a surgeon and an anaesthetist, as well as nurses or paramedics. By telephone or telegraph, the volunteers are found wherever they happen to be in the world; travel and expense money...
