Another reason why the AMA may be having membership trouble is that the AMA has been very active politically and although I suspect that American physicians in general tend to be more conservative as a group than other segments of middle class America, they are still pretty heterogenous politically. I think there are many physicians, particularly young physicians, who hesitate to join the AMA because the AMA doesn't speak for their political views...I think that's too bad.

After writing a truly successful first novel, most authors feel obliged to try again. The odds are not encouraging. Fledgling novelists tend to pour everything they know or have experienced into their first efforts. Replenishing bare cupboards is never easy, especially when new demands imposed by literary fame are added to the normal burdens of living and working. Then there is the problem of a presold audience, its expectations buoyed by an impressive debut. What, this group itches to know, can the sophomore writer do for an encore...

In fact, Philip Morris will concede a single difference between smokers and non-smokers: "Generally, smokers tend to be more assertive, time-conscious and energetic than non-smokers...
...writing the 100-plus light entertainments that appear each month? "It's not Joyce Carol Gates under a pseudonym," says Gallon's Sullivan. Given the turgid prose style, that much, at least, is certain. Novice authors, in fact, tend to be housewives supplementing the family income, like Parris Afton Bonds of Lewisville, Texas. Bonds spends her day with five sons, ages one to 13, and plots her amours "after the diapers are rinsed...
