Checking other New York hospitals, Tolchin discovered the same general pattern. Bellevue reported 50% more births, Bronx Municipal 100%, St. Luke's 200% .

During World War II, it became the famed B-17 Flying Fortress-the plane to which, said Trippe, "this republic owes more, perhaps, than any other in the history of aviation...
...their later chagrin. Asked for an opinion on the case, the EEC in Brussels brushed aside bitter German protests, decided that the Grundig-Consten deal created "a monopoly within French territory" in violation of Common Market free-trade accords. The Market's court of justice in Luxembourg thereupon ruled the exclusive dealership illegal...
