Midwives At Roosevelt Hospital Draw New York Women
New York midwives at Roosevelt Hospital offer private nurse midwifery for normal pregnancies, drawing midlife income women away from male obstetricians and high physician fees. Five midwives delivered 100 babies last year and expect 200 this year, with doctors on call for complications. The program, started by Dr. Thomas Dillon, aims to test midwives handling routine pregnancies with physicians as backups, reflecting a shift in care philosophy and patient demand.

Solar energy at a crossroad for power use and laws
A Los Angeles biennial solar energy congress drew 55 nations and 280 papers as experts debated solar power viability. While some, like John Brazil and John Magee, claim solar energy is cheaper than electricity, others urged more government funding and new laws to expand use, zoning, labeling, and building codes to support solar heating and power generation. CSU-Westinghouse findings highlighted two promising concepts for large scale electric output, yet costs and efficiency limit broad adoption to peak times, with thousands already using solar for heat.
