...cases is that of Andrew Dunham, a blond, 23-year-old Phoenix truck driver whose severely injured finger became badly infected and required surgery. Had his doctor chosen to operate in a hospital, Dunham would probably have been kept at least one night, perhaps longer. Instead, the surgeon-one of more than 300 doctors in the Phoenix area who occasionally use the Surgicenter-directed him to the facility at 10:45 one morning last week. Half an hour later, he was wheeled into an operating room and given a general anesthetic. In just 20 minutes, the surgeon had made...

Some eminent nutritionists have protested that the Britons' claims were gross...
Volks Art The Beetle, that Volks hero of the American highway, is undergoing a psychedelic transformation. Dressed up in brilliant decals and ad slogans for products ranging from hamburgers to cigarettes (complete with Surgeon General's warning), the little cars are making the scene as mobile billboards. Some 5,200 Beetleboards are now bringing Pop art to the highways and streets of 253 communities, and their number is expected to double by year's end. The idea of putting wheedle on wheels came to Charles Bird, now 36, a former Los Angeles advertising consultant. Beetle owners who qualify...
