...never to perform an operation; as hospital director, he was able to confine his medical practice to diagnosis. But his true talent lay in administering the clinic and giving instinctively deft psychological help. In his carefully chosen specialty, the attitude of aged patients is often far more important than actual medical treatment. The kindhearted amputee, who had himself obviously suffered so much, was just the man to understand and salve a patient's problems...
Throughout the crisis, in fact, the only actual casualties so far have been caused by fighting between the Arab states themselves. Sixteen people were killed when a booby-trapped Syrian car exploded at the Jordanian customs post of Ramtha. Jordan accused the Baathist regime of "premeditated sabotage," ordered Syria to close down its embassy in Amman and recalled its own diplomats from Damascus.

"They get tears in their eyes, who knows why? Maybe they remember when they first took their girl to the flicks...
...main weaknesses of the petition is that it fails to specify what form this service should take, and the choice of alternatives will be no easy matter. If an individual objects to contributing directly to the American war effort, how far from the actual war must he be removed for the sake of conscience? (Ultimately, many forms of alternative service will involve some indirect contribution.) And how will the government allocate its manpower to assure that the essential jobs are filled...
