...doctors' outcry has already had some small remedial effect. Two weeks ago, the city council voted another $536,000 for nurses' salaries; now White is asking the council to restore a third of his budget cuts. Most of this extra money would go for emergency renovation, so that the hospital can retain at least its probationary status. Help may come from Washington, where Massachusetts' Senator Edward M. Kennedy has been plugging for federal loans to crisis-ridden municipal hospitals. But the question remains whether the financial therapy will be quick and massive enough to save Boston City...
...bedlam," said one dealer whose entire switchboard lit up at once. "We just pulled all the cords out and started fresh." Other brokers encountered long delays reaching marketmakers.

They proved so popular with friends that Margarete soon gave up dressmaking, began turning out other stuffed animals with the help of relatives. When several Steiff-made bears wound up as table decorations at the 1906 White House wedding of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Teddy's daughter, the resulting publicity made the German company bullish on bears; the following year it sold 974,000 cuddly Teddy bears...
...ghettos' most urgent need. But more and more museum curators are eager to prove that it does have a role to play in the blighted areas of their cities. They are all too aware that museums on Sundays are filled almost exclusively with affluent whites; although black and Spanish-speaking schoolchildren may be guided through for a fleeting visit by their teachers, few return with their parents, and still fewer poor adults come in alone. To open their eyes, white administrators are now taking art to the ghettos with branch museums or art-mobiles. Often, they find whole streets...
