Today we are doctors but no°t yet physicians. Differentiation ies not in experience or success, dexterity or knowl- edge, but in commitment. We can no longer rely on the omnipotence of our medica Heritage; rather, we are subject to criticism and ridicu e, contempt and distrust. No longer are we above society but entrenchec in its core. nmn As physicians, we must be committed to the life-long responsibility of obtaining and maintaining health. We must try to protect the minds and bodies of struggling infants, curious children, and adolescents who often fear no one is listening. ■i f N - 1[ • ' V r m t ' ,i  ' _ - 1 h [Hjv 1 ' ; F - -■ - • ' ' ■ k j A w k.

Nor can we ignore the ills of drug addiction or the deleterious effects of increasing crime and gang warfare. nn ■nm )ULT FILM BEJ? TMEMRE DULT MOVIES So complex is our role that we become trapped in hypocrisy. In a sense- less war, we treat the wounded so that they may return to the front to kill others. We try to help addicts without ever want- ing to become involved with their underlying con- flicts. We attempt to re- claim alcoholics, even though the healing profes- sions are rife with alcohol- ism. Why then have we chosen this as our profession? We look forward to an intense personal involvement with people and feel proud that we play a con- structive role in society. There is reward in the realization of our goals to alleviate suffering and prevent spread of disease. Fulfillment for ourselves and our families is the end-product of this professional intent. Now we are doctors; tomorrow we will be physicidns. Today we have a diploma; tomorrow we have a committment. The Osteopathic Oath I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter and I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and the life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature ' s laws and the body ' s inherent capacity for recovery. And I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. I will give drugs for deadly purposes to any perse And wil endeavor to work in acco rd though it be asked of me. ith my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation, and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them or their rightful practices. And I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college I will be loyal and strive always for its best interests and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic truths to the healing arts and to develop the principles of osteopathy which were first enunciated by Andrew Taylor Still.

' i!!! ;n ,j , ,„„, isi!i;„ J rt -f Distinguishing himself as an excellent instructor in Obstetrics and Gynecology, it is the belief of DR. LAZARUS KIRIFIDES that a student learns cimical medicine by doing, not merely watching. Our confidence and competence in the evaluation of the Ob-Gyn patient was increased under his tutelage, and we thank Dr. Kirifides for participating in a stimulating clinical experience. A member of one of the outstanding specialties in our profession. Dr. Kirifides stands tall in such grand circles. This recent PCOM graduate has already distinguished himself as an outstanding and sought-after specialist in Hematology and Oncology. He has not, however, lost touch with good methods of education, for his lectures and rounds have been concise, enjoyable, and up-to-date. His dedication, scientific integrity, and willingness to teach have been inspirations to both student and colleague, A young internist with an outstanding future, DR. IRVING BERKOWITZ was willing to spend any time he could spare to further a student ' s education. 12 (F d w - w r .- SI P- r J v - ' ' l i When student and teacher have mutual respect the relationship will become pleasing and fruitful for both. Teaching Pathology, DR. MORTON GREENWALD brought to it zeal and perseverance. He carefully prepared a highly organized and rigorous system for teaching us such a vast ocean of material, yet his attitude toward, and sympathy for the student was of the same mettle. We were more than willing to undergo the mill in order to benefit from his abilities, as well as his presence. Associate Dean of PCOM, DR. ROBERT ENGLAND has achieved a level of accomplishment and respect attained by few. Yet it was his continuous efforts to improve the academic and clinical programs for the students that received our gratitude. With his support true electives, course consolidations, earlier clinical experience, and revision of the externe program have been established. A medical school educator must do more than just lecture; he must suggest and guide. Dr. England is such an educator. A general [iraf lilioncr who gave up valuablr liiiic lo hel[) us learn proper |),ilicnl diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, DR. MAURICE R05MAN presided (jver our case presentation sessions at the Forly-elghth Street Clinic. His prodding wit, informal manner, and expc;rience enabled us not only to evaluate our patients better, but also to seek out pertinent research material. To understand and communirale with patients was what made Dr. Rosman such an itnporlant ( ' Xfjerience for us. . V .time to kill Plenty of time to kill, but never enoueh to set our work done. Missing meal after meal, day after day, we tried to squeeze yearbook preparation around twelve hour externe shifts. .Anxiety reactions, depression, paranoia, despair, elation, confusion, all have become a part of our collective psyche since this Grande Crusade beean. Between starvation and fatigue we managed to slide our pages under the printer ' s deadline door. Here ' s hoping he found them all!

It is our happy task to recall and commemorate some of the highlights of our PCOM days. Pictures are said to be worth a thousand words, but the literary staff insisted on writhing about our notables anyway. To DR. R. V. E. WADDEL CATHIE: for her outstanding 1969 perfor- mance one memorable morning. 104 guys said they were here in class, but I only counted 88 heads. Now, either some of you are ducking inio your jackets, or you can throw your voices. I ' m going to the back of the room and couni again, and you better hope I don ' l gel a differc ' nl num- ber! (Class applauds.) lllMllfMmi ;.m«wr nmrjmM Uw I To DR. CLARENCE BALDWIN: a special Pass-the-Buck Citation, for, when learning that we were totally inexperienced at intraven- ous technique on the eve of our embarcation into clinical medi- cine, said, My God, somebody will have to do something about that Surgery Department. To STUDENT E. L M.: chief engi- neer and technical director, whose construction of a traffic-light timing system over the wall-clock in the third-year classroom permitted all our lec- turers to run overtime, confident that we would get no break at all. What ever happened to that idea of a trap door behind the lectern. El? To DR. LESTER EISENBERG: who receives the Compulsive Lexicon Citation for demanding correct address, diction, spelling, and hir- sute attire of the externes, while repeatedly referring to a common female genital fungus infection, Candidiasis, as Canadensis, which is a summer camp in the Poconos. One misspelled word is a dead pa- tient! he once said. To DR. LEWIS TORRIERI: whose concise, clear, and physiologic presentation of the development of the human fetus should earn for him the opportunity to present another junior-year gem, Applied Embryology. To THE SURGERY DEPART- MENT: an award and a hearty thanks for presenting signs and symptoms of hernias five times in five terms without once deciding to present a course in Herniology. We bet they considered it, though. f; To DR. PAUL THOMAS: who, upon being notified of his appointment to the school ' s deanship, perforated his ulcer. This was no mean accomplish- ment, since Dr. Thomas claim- ed a total disembowelment when he graduated. To DR. GEORGE NORTHUP: eminent Osteopathic journalist and guest lecturer who appeared before us, ah, numerous times. The topics of these lectures, we understand, are still forthcoming. To MR. THOMAS ROWLAND: whose Don ' t come back ' til your hair is cut! in the spring of 1%8 won for him the admiration of students and the undying grati- tude of the Trustees for great publicity. To DR. WILLIAM DAIBER: goes the coveted New Frontiers of Medicine Award for 1969, for his presentation, during a car- diovascular lecture, of a kymo- graphic electrocardiogram of a patient ' s myocardial infarction after attending the Penn - Navy football game of 1938. It wasn ' t even too faded! To DR. H. GORDON ZINK: visiting didactician and manipulator, goes the well-deserved Unbelievable Anthropomorphism Award for likening the brain and spinal cord to a long tadpole, which has its Idil pulled down on inspiration. When does it grow into a full-fledged frog, H. C? All of our winners receive lh ' sought-after DUBIOUS ACHIEVEMENT PRIZE - a copy of Ostcop.UhU Mfdicine. Con- gralulalions. ) Ihe losers, in I he words of Shakcsijcarc: Some arc f)orn If) grcalncss; others have grealncss IhrusI up ' jn Ihem. To DR. GALEN YOUNG, SR.: for his excellence in: You know, in 1500 operations I ' ve never lost a surgical patient on the table. And in the recovery room? Finally, to THE CLASS OE 7977; for the most dubious achieve- ment of all — graduating! nmi ' tammntmimmm ' irmmi, Question. How do you treat a loose tenth rib? Answer. With Elmer ' s glue!

' ' ' -.vm has plotted to undermine the serenity and tranquility of an ever-shrinking class of 106 peasants by gradually destroying their cerebral powers with long, continuous blasts of warm at- mosphere day in and day out. Your mission, Dean, should you decide to accept it, is to capture these men and convince them that didactics without practice is as bad as taxation without rep- resentation or even sex without orgasm. This page will self-destruct in five seconds (unless ripped out sooner by The Prince). Good luck. Dean. Hmmm , , . This is really a preposterous mission.

I tink zo, iv I don ' t fvomit first. Nick, how ' s that clinic and hospital schedule com- ing? Well, from 5:00 to 8:00 is just in time for them to watch the patients eat. Barney, have you got all the Patagonians ' fotos? «T? IS?— , Yep, that ' s them. Novelli, you ' ve got the fake roll sheet, don ' t you? Yes, sir.

I tried to interrupt, but fvenetver I stop talking, dey pick up deir lectures at the fevery syl- lable dey left off and go righton. I can ' t take it any more. I kfvit! Yeh, Dean, I ' ve had it too. The foto idea is a flop because as soon as they see pictures of the other scholars, they think they ' re at a meeting and fall asleep. It just doesn ' t pay to try to confuse them about each other. Gee, that ' s too bad, Barney. Nick, that schedule must have got- ten them, right? Wrong. They simply scheduled fasting sugars after meals, histories and physicals during sleep- ing hours, and rounds during conferences. Now, night shift is 7 AM to 7 PM, and day shift is at night. It ' s weirder than ever! What ' s more, they want to schedule three lecture courses for the seniors, one each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now what?!? The roll sheets. Bill? Zero. The scholars have been unable to spell or pronounce the names of students for years, so faking roll sheets had no effect. Everybody wound up overcut, anyhow. We ' re sunk. Dean. I guess you ' re right. Well, we ' ll just have to sell out to WAIT! Don ' t give up. I am here! Who the hell are you? See this Scarlet A on my chest?

Provisionol DiDonosis: Admission Less Than 21 HoufS Yes No Chief Comp;oint Present Illness Post History Family History Case Summary - Class of 1971 On June 6, 1971, the Emergency Room of Irvine Clinic was presented with a case of chronic failure. Chief complaints were fatigue, cachexia, SOB (either definition will do!), and a triad of kyphosis, ptosis, and psychosis. Before going off half-cocked on any one physical sign, a history and physical were obtained to supply: (1) an adequate diagnostic approach and (2) a few laughs. Significant symptoms included: a) loss of hair of the scalp, the remnants of which being badly frayed from repeated close triinnings; b) an abnormally large pair of thumbs; c) severe rashes on the extremities ( reactions to tape, the patient curi- ously stated) and very curious and abrupt lines of body hair distribution; d) hesitation marks about the wrists; e) uncontrollable writing movements of one hand; f) excessive sacral edema; g) acute anxiety-depressive reactions. This was manifested by a curious ges- ture of looking back over his shoulder whenever the patient spoke. Past personal history revealed smoking (tobacco and other); various medications; lit- tle nocturnal, but much diurnal (weekday) sleep; allergies to pollens, tests, lectures, and barbers; and adult diseases such as mononucleosis, hepatitis, cystitis, and cerebral constipation with oral diarrhea. Physical examination revealed a 24-42 year old mostly male in rapidly diminishing distress but no apparent sanity. The head was swelled, slightly bruised and bloodied, but unbowed. The eyes were beady and quite red ; and the nose, the air conditioner of the body, (Is the anus the exhaust vent?) was slightly deviated to the left (in contrast to the administration ' s slight deviation to the right). The mouth was surprisingly present. m 1 KMmmiiiamfHmmimwmama. ' ft b .y : though for four yaars no one would have guessed. Although the thyroid could not be pal- pated at examination, the patient reported curious enlargements and hyperfunction of that organ three times per year, for the past three years. The only other positive findings in the neck were more hesitation marks all arotind, but not over, the jugular veins. (Apparently the patient did not know his anatomy!) The chest was shrunken, and lung sounds were decreased, masked by a smoker ' s and breather ' s cough. The heart rate varied between 60 and 180 beats per minute; harsh murmurs ausculted proved not to be cardiac in origin, but from under the patient ' s breath. Blood pressure fluctuated between 110 and 210 70. Abdominal exam revealed no guts, concomitant with the pateint ' s passive demeanor. Rectal exam was deferred because of the presence of one of the patient ' s feet therein. Hernias were absent, but so were the gonads, there being only a neat scar, like a knife- slash, visible. All neurologic reflexes were equal but hyperactive bilaterally. The pupils were pin- point and only responsive to suggestion. Weber and Rinne auditory conduction tests were abandoned when it became apparent that the tuning fork would not rest on the patient ' s pointed head. What remained of the tongue did not deviate when protruded, but protruded when provoked. The extremities were weak and tremulous; the feet were flat; but the back remained arched. En somme , the patient ' s condition could be described, clinically, as ' ' a mess! Es- sentially, then, this was a normal physical for a PCOM graduating class.

All too quickly, details fade to become either lost or myth, and only a shadow remains. Often, as dictated by cir- cumstance, that shadow is merely a retraction of the image not the substance, and distorts reality in favor of the apparent. On Friday, the fifth of June, 1970, an era ended. With the passing of Angus G. Cathie, D.O., forty years of service to the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Osteopathic profession became his- tory. In an effort to preserve the reality of his life and offset the distortion of his image, it might be valuable to uncover a facet of this man which few people suspected and even fewer knew. On an average day at PCOM, undergraduates were ex- posed to one to four or more hours of The Cat. Sitting before the lectern the student saw a man whose artistry was inspiring when constructing diagrams of human anatomy. His knowledge of that anatomy was respected as the best in the profession, and perhaps equal to that of any in the academic world. Dr. Cathie was a taskmaster, to be sure. He was stern and sharp and quick to chide the student who was ill- prepared, or perhaps ill-equipped. He was, with all due respect, an anachronism to modern teaching, where liberalism prevails. Yet he was a man respected for his knowledge and the effort he put forth in giving the time necessary to fulfill his commitments. The average student ' s contact with Dr. Cathie produced the belief that he was a lonely man, a man who existed only from home to laboratory and home again. This could not be further from the truth. Angus Cathie was born of a proper and proud Bostonian family that loved and lived nature. His art talent he inherited perhaps from his father who was an artist for a Boston newspaper. His brother was a salesman who dealt in landscaping of large estates. Anatomy, contrary to common belief, was not the obession controlling the man, but only an extension of his loves and talents. He was a lover of nature, an ad- mirer of literature, and an exceptional reproduction artist. Summers did not find him pining away in his laboratory, but rather he would shed his long white coat in June and travel up the New England coast from Boston to Maine, working at times with physicians at country clubs, but mainly studying the birds, the sea, and the coast. He got to know the dirt roads of Maine as well as the palm of the anatomical hand. It was there that he acquired the art of carving and taught himself to meticulously reproduce birds in motion, especially sea gulls and pheasants. He painted these carvings to the smallest detail, and often he would sell them to supple- ment his income. A few gift shops along the Maine coast, the state he loved and adopted as his own, still may be found to display a much sought-after Cathie. During these summers he was a man for himself. To the people who knew him, he was a fine Philadel- phia professor and physician come-to-visit. In reality he was pursuing his love of nature. If asked his favorite writing, he probably would not have said Cray ' s, although he respected it as would a trades- man his tools; rather he might indicate the works of Longfellow. He enjoyed paintings and sea stories, and he loved to cultivate flowers and shrubs. Often on Saturday afternoons, after class, he would travel to Pennsgrove, New jersey, to garden at the homes of friends whose botanical interest he shared. Compassion is a trait rarely attributed to The Cat. Little is known about the many students he helped financially when they did not have food or living quarters. Today many of these students are prominent physicians who remember with endearment the pro- fessor who helped them. Why then was a man of such varied interests and great dedication the object of such controversy? As already noted, his methods of teaching were harsh, but he was overexposed to the students out of necessity. They did not like to be forced to learn, but this in fact is what was done to them. However, deeper that this, he repre- sented the College, and to an extent Osteopathy itself. When the students were dissatisfied, he was the most available target of their disfavor. Thus, a man who many viewed as limited in scope, lonely and empty, was in fact very much opposite his image. Though disappointed in lateryears due to trouble within the very profession he helped to shape, com- pounded by his failing health, he still maintained his hope and faith. It has not been our intent to present the academic ac- complishments of this man ' s life. They are a matter of record. However, an effort has been made to reveal Angus G. Cathie, the individual, so that when the shadow of time has been cast, the distortion of a sometimes harsh image may be in part understood. 86 E se r ■ ? Dr. H. Walter Evans, Professor Emeritus at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, died Friday morning the ninth of November, 1970, in the College ' s Barth Pavilion on City Avenue. He was 80 years old. Dr. Evans was graduated from the College in 1917, when he received his Doctor of Osteopathy degree. Three years later he joined the College faculty, and in 1935 he became a full pro- fessor. He subsequently was elevated to the post of Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In 1963, he received the coveted O. J. Snyder Memorial Medal for distinguished service to the College. He also served as Sec- retary of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He was a former President of the American College of Osteo- pathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Pennsylvania Osteopathic Association. He was also a member of the Ameri- can Osteopathic Association. l. i tt8i ..,jjjj]|EMaiiBBiiiaziaimca« and to have fun 90 miiMitmmL I r Senior Citizens ' f Christmas Party taMiiMiaMWBim MnmrwiB t I Ch C «i lota Tau Sigma Lambda Omicron Gamma Tf ■P% HH i V ' M, dM m m = Jr r - H fTJ FT w % V,;. : JP . . - f- . ■ Neuropsychiatric Society Catholic Guild M 5 Christian Osteopathic Society 105 Hi have the flu and twelve had fidl tires on the expressway.

No snow —ever! SUN COAST MicroScoop ECONOMIC OUTLOOK Nation ' s most reces- sion-proof economy- growing stronger ev- ery year. SUN COAST HOSPITAL, INDIAN ROCKS ROAD, LARGO, FLORIDA 3354C SUN COAST CONTINUES TO ADD TO FACILITIES, STAFF Less than fifteen years after its founding Sun Coast Hospi- tal, Largo, Florida, is respect- ed as one of the finest in the sunshine state, recognized for its sound treatment, concerned care and superb facilities. With more floors and wings added in nine major past ex- pansions (pathology lab, co- balt therapy area, new emer- gency rooms and a handsome auditorium are the latest ) Sun Coast now provides 178 beds for medical and surgical pa- tients. Further expansions al- ready are on the drawing boards. The first teaching hospital in Pinellas County (fourth most populous in the state). Sun Coast ' s intern and resi- dency programs are soundly established and thoughtfully administered. Golden Center Largo is the golden center of an ecologically attractive and economically strong area —a great place to live, play, practice and raise a family. Recreationally it is richly blessed twelve months a year —with big league baseball in the spring, professional foot- ■msm mmmmsimmm ios ball in the fall, and all-year enjoyment of golf, tennis, fly- ing, riding, every water sport from scuba divine to sailina:, including both salt and fresh water fishing. Climate is magnificent. The mean average temperature in a typical year ranges from 57.8° in February to 83° in July. Below-freezing tempera- tures are rare. Highest ever recorded was 97°. The 20-year average is 72.8. Average an- nual rainfall is 54.27 inches. Booming Growth The economic climate of our sun coast also is beneficent. Projection of county growth from today ' s half million indi- cates a population of more than one million perhaps as soon as 1985. Our economy has been called virtually recession- proof, because it is based on a healthy admixture of afflu- ent retirees (as evidenced by bank balances, savings ac- counts and stock transactions), prosperous tourists and a good balance of research-and-engi- neering-oriented industries. Inquiries Invited To interns, residents and general and specialty practi- tioners this progressive non- profit, non-tax supported Sun Coast Hospital— and the sun coast area itself— has much to offer. The hospital is fully accredited and excellently equipped with all analytical, diagnostic, therapeutic and supportive services. We invite your inquiries. Call collect at 813 584-2181 or write to Frank C. McPherson, executive director, at 2025 In- dian Rocks Road, Largo, Flor- ida 33540. We firmly believe Sun Coast is your kind of place.

In Osteopathy — the minority school of medicine — there have fortunately been enough interneship placements for all of its graduates during the past ten to fifteen years. Many fine institutions of post-graduate education have not, however, been available to gradu- ates of Osteopathic colleges during these years. This situation has been due primarily to an ideological anci political war between the powerful people in the American Medical Associa- tion and those in the American Osteopathic Association. The institutions verboten to the D.O.s have included the Allopathic medical centers, the United States Armed Forces ' hospitals, and the United States Public Health Service. It has also been to the disadvantage of Osteopathic graduates that there have only been a handful of D.O. hospitals with well-planned and successful training programs. Competition for admission to these hospitals has at times been stiff, and bitter. Within the past two years the Allopathic profession- has officially opened its externeship, in- terneship, residency, and fellowship programs to Osteopathic students and graduates on a competitive basis with their own. The Armed Forces and the Public Health Service also have followed with this policy, and a number of individual state legislatures have gone further by al- lowing full medical licensure for the D.O. graduate who has completed a non-Osteopathic interneship. Previously, all D.O.s had been required to have both D.O. degree and D.O. in- terneship for full state licensure. How have PCOM graduates reacted to these policy changes? Last year (1970) marked the first time in PCOM history that seniors had the opportunity to compete for almost any interneship in the United States. Amidst rumors that the school ad- ministration would not grant a degree to any student who would jump to the other league, ten students successfully matched and went on to interneships at M.D. institutions. Five more students from that graduating class of seventy-nine began interneships in the Public Health Service. The Class of 1971 is the second graduating class to be in the position of having an unlimited choice of interneships. There was no threat of reprisal from the school this year — only a sin- gle talk to our class by two administrative officials in the late Spring of 1970. They urged us to play it safe and take a D.O. interneship in order to avoid a future licensure hassle. Then, they stated that we should do whatever we felt was best for ourselves regarding any future post-graduate education. Our position, although legally tenuous in certain areas, is one of good opportunity. Due to the availability of M.D. and military interneships and the increasingly larger number of D.O. interneships, the supply of positions has presently become far greater than the demand. We are in an excellent financial position no matter which we choose. One D.O. hospital will 138 article continued on p. 139 ' -  ° ' ' ° ' ' ' ™™° ° ' °° ' ' °« ' ' « ' SSHS SWl SMSf£ sgsma continuation of article from p. 138 guarantee $20,000 a year; the traditionally lowest paying Osteopathic hospitals now offer $9000 plus a furnished apartment. M.D. institutions are generally paying comparable salaries. Educationally, we can compete for training in the finest, most sophisticated medical centers in the United States. Given these unlimited opportunities, 1971 PCOM graduates made well-diversified choices. Out of a class of 106 students, over twenty began M.D. interneships. Four more went into the Public Health Service, and two others accepted military interneships. Another thirty to thirty- five students contracted with the five or six educationally superior D.O. hospitals. The rest of the class, a large minority, opted D.O. hospitals of varying quality, many choosing these hos- pitals for geographic or financial reasons, or for reasons of specific opportunity. Three PCOM graduates remained at the College. What do these statistics tell us? First of all, a significant number of 1971 graduates did M.D. interneships. Also, the proportion of the increase may be considered significant, (approximately 25% in 1971 as compared with 18% in 1970). A major reason that fifteen of the 1970 graduates interned outside of the Osteo- pathic profession may have been related to that particular class ' bitterness toward the College. Second, an equally significant number of 1971 graduates have again competed for the better Osteopathic interneships. These particular hospitals are apparently maintaining their high standards of educational training. As long as various licensure laws prevent the Osteopathic graduate from having full licensure freedom with a D.O. degree but a non-Osteopathic in- terneship, these Osteopathic hospitals should continue to draw well from the Osteopathic c olleges. Third, the small number of students who applied to the most sophisticated medical centers in the Northeastern United States had poor success matching with these hospitals. Nevertheless, a small number of 1971 PCOM graduates will be receiving their training from several of the better university medical centers in our country. What does the future hold for the PCOM graduate in regard to his choice of interneship? Obviously, the political and ideological differences between the powerful people in the mi- nority and those in the majority will have the greatest effects upon PCOM graduates. State legislatures, as well as some of the leaders of the various state Osteopathic associations and state medical associations will have their influence, too. Perhaps merger will make this article an historical piece only. Perhaps the AOA will legally force on Osteopathic graduates a limitation governing their choice of interneship. Or perhaps state and federal governments will take away some of the power of the specific political bodies, and the graduates of the Osteopathic colleges will acquire a more complete freedom of choice of interneship. A.O.A. vs A.M. A.: The Propaganda War it was the spring of 1971 and most members of our class were selecting interneships. Many debated the question of Osteopathic versus Allopathic interneships. The following excerpts are true. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Just two students in the class remained absolutely neutral in the debate and merely offered their opinions: Audacious Odious Adonis (AOA for short) and Alexander Mouldus Aspergillus (AMA for short). Their remarks have been translated for pedagogic and didactic simplicity. AOA: I am taking an Osteopathic interneship because I am proud of my D.O. degree, and I don ' t need any M.D. or X.Y.Z. at the end of it either! TRANSLATION: I ' d Icjve to have an M.D. degree and all the power and prestige that goes with it, hut I ' ll never tell. AMA: Let us merge into one great profession, I don ' t care if we call ourselves M.D. or D.O. I prefer M.D. only because we are a larger group and it is easier to change the D.O. ' s since they are a smaller group. TRANSLATION: An- you ra yt ' Whocvi ' r heard ol a D.O. ' f Whal I really mean is for you hone doctors to drop the Osteopathic line and become pill-pushers like us. AOA: The AMA is rjul to destroy this profcssirjn. Flow ran any student take an Allopathic in- terneship and still be loyal to us? article continued on p. 140 i T continued from p. 139 TRANSLATION: A man can ' t serve two masters so he might just as well serve us. AMA: We are offering you fellows AMA interneships and residencies because we want to upgrade your education and improve the health care in this country. TRANSLATION: Have you ever tried to talk medicine with a foreigner At least you fellows speak English and can do the scut work as well as a foreigner. AOA: Now is not the time to desert the profession. Why, we are building schools in Michigan, Texas, Florida, and New York in the near future. TRANSLATION: The AOA has not attempted to establish a new Osteopathic college in 52 years. When the individual D.O.s and laymen build these schools, watch how fast the AOA takes the credit. AMA: We want you fellows to build new schools. All we ask is that we be allowed to inspect and grade them. TRANSLATION: After we flunk your schools, our specialists who have no place to practice will be glad to upgrade them for you. AOA: Our students are not medical school rejects. AMA: Our students are not Osteopathic school rejects. TRANSLATION: Students have no character. They will go to whichever school accepts them and then lie and say that they could have gotten into the other school. AOA: We treat the whole man. Manipulation is only one modality in the armamentarium. TRANSLATION: Of course I don ' t do any manipulation myself, but our senior students do. In fact, I think so much of OMT that a freshman student can give it to a patient at his own discretion. I don ' t think much of aspirin or penicillin, and that is why senior students are not allowed to write orders on the charts. AMA: OMT is nothing but pure psychotherapy. TRANSLATION: When we discover it, then it becomes medicine. AOA: Anyone who does not believe in the somatic component of disease and the efficacy of OMT is nuts! TRANSLATION: Ninety percent of the faculty and staff at PCOM are nuts! fHow many staff men have you seen do OMT?) AMA: There is no need for the AOA to be paranoid. Why, when we take you over, I mean merge, we ' ll give your specialists all of the recognition they deserve. TRANSLATION: In California + = 0, and as California goes so goes the nation. AOA: If the AMA sincerely believes Osteopathic education and practice fall short of accepted standards, let it submit concrete evidence to the American government and people that the quality of training in every Osteopathic college is lower than that of every medical college, and that the competence of every physician holding an M.D. degree is greater than that of every physician holding a D.O. degree. TRANSLATION: Get lost! AMA: We repeat again, we only want to improve the quality of health care delivered to the American people. TRANSLATION: Why do a poor job of representing 100,000 physician s when you can do it for 110,000 physicians. AOA: Our main concern is with delivering health care to those that need it the most. We are not concerned with politics. AMA: We echo those sentiments. TRANSLATION: We only want to be the boss. For those of you who doubt the validity of these excerpts we refer you to the August 7, 1970 edition of Medical World News and the White Paper, AOA-AMA Relationships, No. 2 of March 1968. f f I wish I ' d done an M.D. interneship!

Eye strain, writer ' s cramp (for those strange few who eschew class notes), and utter confusion are the chronic features. Yet in a flash the time is done, lost, when that one pathway, that one side effect, that one histologic clue needed in clinical years for diagnosis and treatment is not there and could have been. This truly is a lime to seek and a lime lo lose. mi H,l N. Berger, |. Cratch, R. Roeshman, D. Cooley, |. Reynolds 1. )ohnson, D. Bruce, M. Seidman, |. Weitberg, A. Dortort, P. Morte, H. DiTommaso A.

Rooks, C. Klein, E. Walsh, E. Galanes, Mrs. Sterrett HHHHBI The Case For Spies I ' m not paranoid. I ' m just careful, that ' s all. When I began my freshman year, upper- classmen gave me sage advice: Don ' t say anything to anyone. THE SPIES are everywhere. I obeyed. It was often dif- ficult; I said nothing. The years passed; still I said nothing. I would rather have my tongue cut out than speak, because they were listening. And all the time I was becoming aware of who they were. First, of course, there is THE ADMINISTRATION SPY, who has sold his soul to the administration to be sure of getting through school. Then, we have THE FACULTY SPY, who reports his classmates ' grumblings directly to the professors in return for bet- ter grades. Next, come the special spies - THE ATLAS SPY, THE ITS SPY, THE LOG SPY, THE PHI SIC SPY, THE CATHOLIC SPY, THE GREEK ORTHODOX SPY, THE PROTESTANT SPIES (BAP- TIST, METHODIST, EPISCO- PALIAN, PRESBYTERIAN, UNITARIAN, ETHICAL CULTURE, et. al.), THE BUDDHIST SPY (no one even knows who the Buddhists in the class are!), THE JEWISH SPY, THE AMA SPY, THE AOA SPY, THE POA SPY, THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SPIES, THE POLISH SPY, THE WASP SPY, THE ITALIAN SPY, THE SCANDINAVIAN SPY, etc., etc., etc. Every group is covered. No move is made, no word spoken without their knowing. My freshman class consisted of 113 spies, and me. (Not being paranoid, I ' m able to see this clearly now.) My class now has 105 spies, plus me. (Five spies flunked out, obviously for not producing enough information.) I ' m the only one who got through school honestly — I studied hard for re-exams. But my soul is still my own. Only at night, in the privacy of my own home, can I unburden myself to the one person who understands me, my wife. Honey, I say, you ' ll never believe the %(t@$ thing that Dr. did today. He . . . But wa,t. What am I saying? I must be more care- ful. After all, even the Stu- k dent Wives must have their spies around somewhere. A k person can ' t be too cautious, you know. I must graduate! I ' ll outsmart theml They won ' t get me, though they lie in wait for me at every turn. I must maintain my sanity. I must not become paranoid. 161 A time to keep If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, Or, being lied about, don ' t deal in lies; Or being hated, don ' t give way to hating, And yet don ' t look too good, nor talk to wise; . . . Yours is the Earth and everything that ' s in it. And — which is more — you ' ll be a man, my son! excerpted from If, by Rudyard Kipling Waiting, keeping our heads, absorbing blame, trusting ourselves, waiting, seeking truth, avoiding hatred, seeking knowledge with compassion, waiting . . . Now the waiting is over; we are men; we are doctors. Four long years, much tribulation, even some triumphs. It was worth it, worth remembering. Each of us brought something unique to admix into the character of the whole class, and, hopefully, each of us will keep the best parts of it and cast away the rest. This is the Class of 1971. 162 ■ — Ttimwininiwauii amsaBma aammmm ' ™™ ™™ ' °™ ' ™°™™ ' ' °°lfli m sm ALDEN WAYNE ABBOTT, D.O. Waltham, Massachusetts Doctors Hospital Columbus, Ohio VINCENT C.

Our houses, being brick and mortar (as are the buildings at Forty-eighth Street and City Line) do not qualify for that pre- scription. So herein are cast a few stones, sonne light, some heavy, the results of a poll distributed to the Class of 1971 during the last three months of its junior year. Spring 1970. Of 108 forms originally delivered, only 49 members of the class responded. 1. Do you believe in the Osteopathic philosophy of medicine? 2. Do you believe in OMT for musculoskeletal problems? 3. Do you believe in OMT for other than structural problems? 4. Will you use OMT in your practice? 5. Do you believe that the administration faculty is inhibiting cooperation with other Osteopathic hospitals and physicians in the Philadelphia area? 46 i 6. How has your attitude toward manipulation changed? No change: 22 Disillusioned: 17 Favorably impressed: 8 7. Do you favor merger with M.D.s? Unconditionally yes: 9 Unconditionally no: 3 Does not matter: 6 Conditionally yes: 32 8. What is your feeling toward the administration faculty concerning medical education and the student? Hindrance: 20 Impotence: 12 Unconcerned: 12 Animosity: 1 9. Would you transfer to an M.D. school after your second or third year if you could do so safely? Yes: 35 No: 9 Undecided: 5 10. What is the most prevalent feeling you have had at PCOM? Paranoia: 20 Fear: 19 Disgust: 7 Depression: 5 Disillusionment: 3 Hate: 2 Frus- tration: 2 Also represented with one response each: helplessness, anger, pity, indifference, sickness, thankfulness, anxiety, regret, waste 11. What is your opinion of the effectiveness of the Student Council of PCOM? Impotent: 20 Insignificant: 26 Beneficial: 3 12. Would you be in favor of helping to make changes in PCOM after your graduation? Yes: 36 No: 7 Do not know: 6 13. Do you think abortion, on request, before the sixth month of pregnancy, and if the woman is surgically a safe risk, should be legalized? Yes; 41 No: 6 No reply: 2 14. Do you smoke cigarettes? Yes: 15 No: 34 Number of packs per week? Less than one: 2 One: 4 15. Have you ever smoked marijuana? Yes: 12 No: 37 Times per week? One to two: 3 Two to four: 16. Do you favor legalization of marijuana as per alcoholic beverages? Yes: 30 No: 18 No reply: 1 17. Have you ever tried LSD or any hallucinogens? Yes: 1 No; 48 18. Do you use amphetamines or barbiturates? Yes: 19 No: 30 When or how often? Only during finals; 12 During finals and under other stress situations For weight reduction: 1 To get to sleep; 1 This poll obviously did not contain unw- ' ightcd questions, although that was its original intent. We believed that this questionnaire would be helplul to those at PCOM responsible lor curriculum, laculty appointments, admissions, and administrative action. We still hope it can be useful. Again, please remem- ber that the above poll was distributed and collected during the pre-final weeks of the last trimester of the third year of the Class of 7977, often con- sidered the psychological low-point of the KXJM student ' s medical school career. Two to four: 1 More than four: 8 1 Five or more; 2 At least once a week: 1 A time to rend ... To rend our garments, our family life and our sleep pat- terns; to sew skin, when permitted, and our uniforms, wheri necessary. This was our externship. 52 weeks, less 10 for vaca- tion, we travelled hither and yon, upstairs and downstairs, nitetime and daytime: H P ' s, IV ' s, OMT, PPD, LSMFT ad infinitum. At least we learned our jargon. And after it is done, we are fully prepared for . . . externship.

You know, another thing they tell us is: What do you only want to turn out general practitioners for? And I said: Well, you only want us to turn out fellows to feed you. That ' s all you ' re interested in; you want our men to bring patients in to you. Our men are not supposed to be good enough and smart enough, have enough ability to take care of patients in your hospital, that ' s as a specialist. SYNAPSIS: Then it is our goal to not only produce general practitioners that are top-notch but also top specialists and sub-specialists? PRESIDENT; Certainly. And we are expanding; this College is expanding. And that school in Florida is predominantly a colored school. We ' re going to try and start a two-year medical school there, and after they finish the two years they can come here and finish their final two years in clinical subjects here. If we could produce more colored physicians, good col- ored physicians, we will do something that will be a great boon to the public not only the Osteopathic profession. Also $6000 times the number of graduates will be provided. We are going to turn out the finest students in the whole United States. We are going to be the biggest medical school in the United States. If they put through what we propose we ' ll have about 2000 students. SYNAPSIS: How much staff and faculty would you need? PRESIDENT: I don ' t know. It would have to be tre- mendous. The Dean was interviewed by two editors of the Synapsis during the last week of December 1970. m SYNAPSIS: Are you satisfied at the present time with your accomplishments as Dean? DEAN: I ' m satisfied to this extent. I ' ve come to an awareness of what this job really means, and I can see that there ' s a lot to be done, but I think I have the ways in mind of accomplishing them. SYNAPSIS: Do you have the power, as chief aca- demic officer? Is the Dean the one that has the last word? DEAN: The Dean, yes, has the last word, subject, however, to review by the higher administrative officers. SYNAPSIS: What have your major stumbling blocks been so far in two and a half years? DEAN: I think the major stumbling blocks are simply: that just at the time that I came in the Deanship the whole picture of medical education and the Deanship itself, is changing very rapidly, and our whole organi- zation was geared for a small, almost self-supporting college. Where this is . . . now . . . out dated the major stumbling block has been to attune ourselves to the times and get in step. SYNAPSIS: How does one go about doing that? DEAN: Well, obviously a part of the problem ... is that the faculty must expand, and I think what I have to do as Dean is to assure that the people chosen for these spots are of the basic temperament that we need, who are attuned to our needs and wants and those of the students, and who will work for the same common goal. Also, we have a big job of education in our own faculty and indeed even in the administration. It ' s too easy to think back ten years as to how we did things then and that doesn ' t really mean a thing in today ' s world. SYNAPSIS: Is there a requirement that faculty department chairmen be certified, and if not, why not? DEAN: The head of a department does not have to certified as long as there are certified men in that department who have the opportunity to give advice and so forth. For some of the men of the older generation it was possible to be certified by Grandfather Action. There are those that 226 got certified by Crandfatlier Action who . . . wouldn ' t know any more about their specialty than I would. SYNAPSIS: Concerning the curriculum, sir, what changes would you most like to see being made? DEAN: Almost all the changes that I would like to see are keyed in with increasing availability of clinical material, in terms of hospital beds, and other forms of clinical material which can conceivably come to us in either of, or both of, two ways. One, of course, would be for us to construct additional facilities, but even at that, regardless of the size of the institution that we could build, anything within reason would not be big enough to support what I think the public is going to demand from us in terms of the output of physicians. We are going to find it essential to affiliate in a formal fashion with other Osteopathic institutions and other institutions having to do with health education and care. I would like very much to see in the first two years . . . our students . . . [come] in contact with pa- tients from day one. I affirm and reaffirm the posi- tion that [the major emphasis of] this profession and this College . . . ought to be the production of the so-called primary physician. I think the question of manpower is probably the knottiest one we have, but far from insoluble. The situation here is that we ' ve been proceeding very cautiously in order that this Col- lege and this faculty . . . control the quality of educa- tion that ' s gotten at other institutions. It ' s simply a question of good management and good control. We don ' t have the pool of physician manpower that ideally we ought to have or do really need to do the job. SYNAPSIS: Then do you see a greater participation officially of PCOM with other DO. hospitals in the area? DEAN: Yes, sir. SYNAPSIS: To what extent? DEAN: At the moment I can ' t say. The answer to that question can get very highly specific and even con- troversial. [There is a] whole myriad of little things that don ' t meet the eye here to the student who wants to dive right in and go to work, if you know what I mean. SYNAPSIS: Doctor, why were Cherry Hill, Parkview, and York Osteopathic Hospitals dropped from the se- nior curriculum this year? DEAN: When the Board of Trustees made the ap- proving resolution, the resolution was worded that these hospitals that are invited to participate in the program be not-for-profit hospitals. There are those of us who are acutely aware of the desirability of these institutions being involved with us, and as soon as we find the mechanism to do it, it will be done. SYNAPSIS: Was it your doing or desire to drop these other institutions? DEAN; I was disappointed that they had to be dropped. SYNAPSIS; Do you think there ' s any possibility of cooperation or interchange of PCOM students with Allopathic hospitals in the city? DEAN: Yes. We are an Osteopathic institution. We consider that our reason for being is a very definite philosophy that to us has meaning. The fact of the matter is, however, that we are training physicians, and we ' re duty-bound and morally-bound to train physi- cians to the absolute best of our capability. If this means that we have opportunities to share know-how and facilities with other institutions and these are available to us and we can do it, we should do it. Especially this is true where it involves training we can ' t provide. SYNAPSIS: Do you think that there should be an upper age limit for faculty department chairmen, fac- ulty members, or administration officials? DEAN: We have a mandatory rule now in which a man becomes emeritus when he ' s 65 years of age. I think that continuous service beyond that is by invita- tion. We ' re moving ... to the point where an indi- vidual will be put on an emeritus status when he is 65, then he will be able to continue until a given age whether it be 68 or 70 by invitation, and invitation only, beyond that point he is out. You must remember one thing. We come back to the question [of] man- power and dollars as well. The reason, let ' s face it, for your question — what you ' re really saying is, You have some old geezers around here that have been around since the year one. When the hell are you going to get rid of them and get some young blood in? And my answer to you is that thank God we ' ve had these old geezers. And as soon as we find a way, we ' re going to do it. And also as sure as there ' s a to- morrow we ' re going to develop the kind of depth and kind of faculty to support the usual way of doing things. SYNAPSIS: Doctor, what do you think the future of the [Osteopathic] profession is? DEAN: The question in one form or another comes up, and it ' s asked of me, If the Osteopathic physician is everything that a physician should be, as you indi- cate he is, what is his justification for being? Why should he not be an M.D.? And my own answer for that is that there is a very different emphasis ... on relative importance of certain things in philosophy, which then in the ideal situation with the so-called ideal Osteopathic physician reflects itself in diagnosis and management, to the patient ' s betterment I ' m sure. The Osteopathic profession has a very potent obliga- tion, in my view, to continue to do the basic research which will either cause us ... to either put up or shut up. Our basic research has established ... the validity of the Osteopathic theory and concept. The question now is generalized acceptance of this question. If we were to pass out of this picture tomorrow you can bet a hundred years from now this whole matter would probably come up again in one form or another. But that ' s not the thing. The point is we feel it ' s important enough to keep now. Until we have reached the goal of having our philosophy made available to all those in the healing arts professions and accepted by those (x. ' fjple, where it ' s based on scientifically-irrefutable 227 facts, then we have not only a right, but an obligation, to remain as a separate entity. Now politically are we going to remain as a separate entity? I think we are. SYNAPSIS: Do you think that the Clarion Call of Osteopathy will show out true before some people who are not even listening to the call resolve the si- tuation politically? DEAN: I wish that were the case. Anybody, any thinking physician, now will accept the role of mani- pulation in musculoskeletal disorders. That ' s not the point. The point is relating the musculoskeletal system reciprocally with any other system of the body. The ultimate solution, I guess, is . . . going to be a political one. Hopefully, those of us in the academe can make our flaming marks before the politicians settle the is- sue. SYNAPSIS: Are you satisfied with what PCOM is now? DEAN: No, I ' m not satisfied. But what I am satisfied with is this: I ' m convinced . . . that, to an extent even greater than most students realize it, we ' re dealing here with men of good will. One of the things that has impressed me most as being Dean of this Col- lege is the fact that, when I talk with a group of students, they have very clear-cut and definite pre- judices against the faculty for certain reasons. Most of these are based on lack of complete knowledge and understanding, plus the usual enthusiasm of youth — not enthusiasm, but . . . they want to keep moving. They can ' t see anything taking time to accomplish. When I talk to the faculty I get the same impression — that the faculty has many, many complaints, gripes, so forth, about the student body, almost every one of which is based on lack of complete understanding and knowledge. I guess what I ' m saying is that PCO[M] has a heck of a good future in front of it because I ' m satisfied with every group that ' s in the institution right now. Again, coming back to the question of, and this is going to ultimately lie on the people like myself in similar positions, to get the kind of leadership to bring out the best and to get understanding. SYNAPSIS: Do you foresee in the year 2000, or any year, a PCOM or a PCM? DEAN: I foresee eventually, and it may be around the year 2000, a PCM. And I ' m enough of an idealist, and a pie-in-the-sky chaser to hope that . . . it ' s because there ' s no need for a PCOM anymore — that all physi- cians will have available to them, and for their own evaluation and use the Osteopathic concept. SYNAPSIS: One last question. Would you prefer to be teaching Pharmacology and Physiology instead of being Dean? DEAN: The answer to that can change from minute to minute. The interview with the Medical Director was excerpted from a series of questions submitted to him in May of 1971. SYNAPSIS: What changes have you prepared in the clinical training program for the senior students? MEDICAL DIRECTOR: The fourth year program will be completely a clin- cal year with rotation through various hospitals and clinics using the F. H. Barth Pavilion as the base hospital which at all times will be training fifty stu- dents. The third year program has had instituted assignments to various ur- ban physicians. In addition, many didactic electives have been instituted, such as Electrocardiography for the Family Physician, Surgical Emergencies, Rheumato- logy, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Car- diac-Broncho-Pulmonary Emergencies. SYNAPSIS: What is your overview for PCOM in the next four or five years, including construction? MEDICAL DIRECTOR: The College will be completed as well as the Senior Citizen Building and expansion of our present bed capacity to 600 beds. We will hope- fully have physicians ' offices and a research building on our college-hospital campus. The outlook is bright because of the overwhelming cooperation of the professional staff. As to teaching and a new policy of obtaining new, qualified, young additions to our staff to participate in the training program (sic). 228 taismii maiam Kaimaa iaam Sherwood R.

From what I ' ve tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. Robert FrosI, Fire and Ice (1923) How much do we know of Hate? How much do we realize the extent to which it has permeated our lives and our thoughts? )ust how much Hate can be crammed into our world, like human flesh in a five o ' clock subway, before it bursts and burns? Rather, might our world simply freeze up and die in the icy cold of that Hatred? No one can predict the End, but if the years 1967 to 1971 indicate a pattern, then our Hate subway is already dangerously over- crowded; in fact, the immense mass of Hatred born of the past four years is enough to be layered over centuries of absolute peace, if there were any. Four years are but a pinpoint in historical time, but they can be an eternity of joy, sadness, elation, destitution, love, and Hate to an individual. Although the capacity for love in Man is great and its rewards blessed, it has been his unfortunate talent to create more Hatred with far less effort and far greater material benefit. Men profit greatly from Hate, amassing wealth in sales of weapons, newspaper sensationalism, popularity of violence in books and movies, and the incumbency and success of political power by repression. It ' s much easier to hate and ignore than to accept and understand; so, being inherently lazy and Epicurean, men have chosen the easy route. As medical students, we were often forced to turn our attention away from all the elements of Hatred in the world these past four years. Our energies were mustered to absorb esoteric medical in- wm By formation in order to be able to save lives and prolong health, at the very least acts of love. Yet the tentacles of hate in the smoldering world around us many times wrenched our attention away from our books and threatened to interrupt our training, to freeze it, as it were, while we were sent to mend those people touched by Hate. Even now, as we are graduated, bigotry, sus- picion, tension, and deceit are awaiting us; they will oblige us to use our tools of love in the supreme cause of Hate — in war. Where will we be sent? To Viet Nam? To the Middle East? To Latin America? To the American ghettos? And what will we do? Remove the bullets? Sew t he holes? Patch the maimed? Bury the dead? Deliver the unwanted? Or attenuate useless old age? We could use our skills someday to treat the ill, to prevent needless death, to comfort the troubled, but, like as not, those that we save will only be killed elsewhere. The pessimist says we cannot prevent it; we are frozen in Hatred and duty. The years 1967 to 1971 seem to confirm this, an endless string of horror, bloodshed, stubbornness, and death: Haiti frank rizzo weathermen ku klux klan assassination of robert kennedy ghetto riots leningrad nine homo- sexuality my lai juan peron flag burnings eldridge cleaver guerillas ibms censorship biafra mayor daley black panthers george lincoln rockwell assassination of martin luther king 1968 democratic national convention woman ' s liberation youth inequality daniel mitrione Okinawa angela davis refugees wire-tapping pows viet nam george Wallace John birch society Jewish defense league assassination of malcolm x kent state abortion voter registration francois duvalier nasser apartheid coup d ' etat halcones famine southeast asia spiro agnew bombings kidnappings police brutality Salvador allende favelas san francisco state francisco franco kashmir abm middle east ronald reagan campus riots skyjackings drugs draft card burnings waiter ulbricht red guard carl mc intyre south africa charles manson Chicago seven Czechoslovakia atomic testing sirhan sirhan pakistan lieutenant calley suez canal Ireland deserters migrant workers . . .
