...fact, though few if any boast of it, and my name is maligned, belittled, and, worst of all, ignored by some of my most abject, my congregation has spread over the whole world, which now without hyperbole can be said to lie at my feet, in my hands, under my thumb. My subjects rule Russia, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Italy, Ethiopia, Turkey, Germany, Great Britain, and the United States of America, not to mention other, less publicized nations.

...McHenry case, front-paged the child as the "upsidedown stomach girl" (TIME, March 11). Anticipating that Massachusetts Medicine would promptly call him on the carpet and demand his explanation of all this publicity, Dr. Truesdale forehandedly asked for a hearing, got one, then last month wrote a long, abject "Letter to the Medical Profession," setting forth the entire case in the New England Journal of Medicine.
