.,.. S ln President Kennedy's world of submission of the individual to national responsibilities, and in his devised governmental responsibility of watchful concern for the nation's economic health, we have approached the world of a governmental shepherd with its flock of timid animals. Most recently the shepherd has opened the field of medical health to its sheep. But have not we, as physicians, as a special privilege group steeped in establishment and form, brought on ourselves the need for social reform? For in our world of equality of condition, Alexis de Tocqueville main- tains that the slightest dissimilarity brings on a hatred and fear in the majority who refuse to acknowledge superior ability, and who will continually remind the capable of the common dependence-both stand to the same master. The physician of today refuses to acknowledge the effects his privileged position creates. He thus is losing his personal liberties to a growing centralized authority which gains its power by way of majority recognizing it as the only body administrative to its wishes. Thomas C.
