Although the photographs alone are reason enough for this book to exist, Garrison Keillor's introductory essay is itself easily worth the price of the volume and more, as he illuminates with grace and good humor, the elegant language of touch. A couple of years ago Harvey Pcnick 's Little Red Book: Lessons and Teachings from a Lifetime in Golf was a runaway best seller on the national charts, but was locally a dud. We figured all our golfers were out golfing instead of home reading, but we think we have now come up with a book they will like April 22 is Earth Day.

J More than 3,500 doctors disciplined during 1994;'; By CHRISTOPHER CONNELL Associated Press Writer - WASHINGTON State medical boards disciplined 3,685 physicians in 1994 for misconduct rang- ing from abuse of their prescription authority to alcohol and drug impairment to sexual misconduct. The number of physicians who had their licenses revoked or suspended or were reprimanded, grew by 11.8 percent from 1993, said Dr. Gerald J. Bechamps, president of the Federation of State Medical Boards. That represents less than 1 percent of the 615,854 physicians licensed to practice medicine. But the federation said that in the past three years the number of reprimands, revocations and other disciplinary actions against physicians has increased 38 percent. Bechamps, of Winchester, Va., said the medical boards are "on trje front line when it comes to protecting the public from incom- petent, impaired or unfit physicians." Medical professionals, rather than the general public, are filing a growing number of the complaints about 25 percent, federation leaders told a news conference. But the rate of disciplinary actions fluctuated among the states, with some reporting 10 or more per 1,000 physicians and others one or two. The boards vary in how many resources they have for investigations and the state laws they operate under, said Dr. James R. Winn, the federation's executive vice president. The board released these statistics for 1994: A total 4, 155 actions were taken against 3,685 physicians'. ' 1 were deemed "prejudicial' meaning the physicians lost tHejr license, had it restricted, we're pot on probation or received a formal reprimand. Some 14 percent were nonprejudicial or administrative in na-- j ture, including reinstatements op licenses, replacement of lost licen- ses, denials and modifications due to a physician's illness. I ', The board did not provide a breakdown of the types of offense that got physicians in trouble. J But Dr. Robert E. Porter, ari , orthopedic surgeon from Lebanon.-N.H.and the federation ",s president-elect, said the biggest prot; Iem was physician impairment and drug and substance abuse. About 10 percent or less involved sexual ' misconduct, he said. Some doctors lost their licenses ' for ripping off insurance prescribing narcotics for .themselves or for other drug abusers. Winn said the state medical boards are getting more complaints about the quality of care a physician provided, as peer review groups at hospitals become "reluctant to mete out discipline for- fear of being sued by the errant doctor's lawyers. Such kicked and the have to said. complaints "are getting up to the medical' hoard, medical board is going to take care of them.-"- ' Winn The federation, based in Euless. Texas, consists of 68 medical boards, including 18 separate boards for doctors of osteopathy. "'IS ) have the Earth's air in your hands. To save on the Walk or bike instead of riding in a car?
