Perhaps the most effective move might be some system of self-policing that would keep medical fees reasonably adjusted to other price and wage levels. No such proposal was brought up at the convention.

(Even Volkswagens were virtually unknown in the South about five years ago.) So we wound up in a Phillips 66 station with a kid trying on all different sized belts until one fit. It took a long time.

But it was the sort of metaphor that appealed quite naturally to Assemblagist Vlassis Canairis, 40, who studied medicine at Athens University before turning to the practice of painting and sculpture in 1950. The exhibition that he has mounted in Athens' small "New Gallery" illustrates its vividness...
