...against the A.M.A.'s ultra-conservative influence on national policies. Moderate and liberal critics question its propriety in helping to scuttle the appointment of Dr. John Knowles to the nation's top health post (TIME, July 4). Still remembered are the association's relentless fights of yesteryear against Medicare and Medicaid. Opponents also recall its past opposition to group practice and its efforts to limit medical-school enrollment. Thus the A.M.A. has made itself a visible villain, and is blamed, somewhat unfairly, for the soaring cost of medical care, which is rising at a rate more than...
Even as Monnet and his supporters issued ringing calls for unity during their session in the Charlemagne Building, over at the new Common Market headquarters began the first ministerial meetings since the dethronement of Charles de Gaulle. Would the old obstacles of yesteryear suddenly melt away? Hardly.

The quest for the artifacts of yesteryear, which has been indulged in by many Americans for years, has now reached epidemic proportions. Behold! A hot-air grate, raised on a walnut stand, becomes "sculpture." A chamber pot leaves its place under the bed and appears-lo!-as a soup tureen. Fortunate is the man who inherits a 1912 Corona typewriter or an Atwater-Kent radio in plywood Gothic style. They are also lucky who have-squirreled away somewhere-cast-iron toys, lead molds, bubble...
