When the American Medical Association met in Dallas last week for its annual winter clinical sessions, the sun shone brilliantly if coolly over what Texans call the "Land of the Big Sky." But big sky and bright sun are far from being an unmixed blessing, warned Houston's Dr. John M. Knox, a dermatology professor at Baylor University College of Medicine. Along with other skin specialists in the Southwest, he is seeing more and more harmful effects from exposure to the sun, now that leisure time is increasing and proportionately more of it is spent in "healthy" outdoor activity...
...American Medical Association gathered in Dallas last week, selected as "Family Doctor of the Year" Dr. Chesley M. Martin, 70, native of South Carolina, who has practiced in Elgin, Okla. (pop. 450 by his best estimate) since 1915, has delivered about 2,500 babies in 1,200 sq. mi. of ranch country.

From painstaking ten-minute to half-hour microscopic examinations of each of 19,797 exquisitely thin slivers of tissue from human lungs, medical researchers reported last week that they had found the strongest anatomical evidence that heavy cigarette smoking is a potent cause of lung cancer.

Working with them were...

At first glance, many looked like mud attempting to fly; they were that energetic and that saggy. The combination said something blue about man's estate, the approved tone of most contemporary sculpture. But Frink's ostensible purpose has nothing to do with moral messages or with ideals of any kind, not even plastic ones. "Somebody makes a metal armature for me," she explains, "and I start covering...
...about $25 million, included paintings with such signatures as Gauguin, Van Gogh, Soutine, Cezanne and Monet. But money was running out. Nine months ago they rented a Madison Avenue showroom, named it the Re-Mi Gallery, and put their canvases on sale. It was a bad mistake. Last week Boris and Mark Lass were indicted for attempted grand larceny...
