...from putting a premium on preventive medicine and the maintenance of good health, it puts a premium on sickness. Until recently, most Blue Cross plans covered no care outside a hospital, and specifically excluded diagnostic procedures. The result has been connivance to defraud the insurers. Often if a woman needs a diagnostic pelvic examination that might better?but need not necessarily?be done in a hospital, her doctor enters some meaningless diagnosis such as leucorrhea or dysmenorrhea (which practically every woman has now and then) and plunks her in the hospital for two days. The insurance pays virtually...
...woman of dreams, the woman of lust and woman the nun," Edvard Munch once confided. The Norwegian fin de siècle painter was explaining one of his favorite compositions, which showed three women standing together-one in black, one in white, one nude. He used this trio in several different canvases, known collectively as "the Sphinx" cycle.

In California, and according to Hensley, in many other states, he can perform marriages (if he is over 21), officiate...
...Making. The Broadway book had the grace to mock itself. In the end Charity was blessed by a good fairy -who turned out to be a costumed pitch woman plugging a CBS-TV show. Peter Stone's hollow adaptation takes itself seriously. Charity, maundering through Central Park, converses with a bunch of flower children who teach her the power of Love...
