"Beauty and the Beast" is the nickname Konner gave to the two faculty members, Betsy Sinclair and Barry Goldfarb, who ran the diagnostic radiology unit. Betsy was a thirty-year-old brilliant Southern woman with sensuous lips and a musical soothing voice Konner called "Beauty." Her associate Barry was from Brooklyn like Konner but, unlike him, was foul-mouthed, vulgar and nicknamed the "Beast." Betsy and Barry were equally expert in cerebral angiography or brain imaging.
