...view. Their kind of psychic improvisation takes its cue from dense color and tightly woven forest. Fundamentally passionate paint slingers, they are equally adept with lithographs, a sampling of which went on view last week in Manhattan's Lefebre Gallery. A few, such as Guggenheim International Prizewinner Karel Appel, are well known; others less publicized...
...Ladder. Though he is qualified as a surgeon, Dr. Appel insists that he is still a G.P. "A general practitioner," he says, "can be a very contented person because he becomes infused with a feeling of devotion and humanism; he and his patients get to know one another as persons; the rewards are soul-satisfying.

...Appel stated the A.M.A.'s position succinctly: "There is no reason for a tax-supported program. We have a much better program in Kerr-Mills. If the states would enact good Kerr-Mills laws the medical needs of the elderly would be met better and at less expense than through medicare. But if it passes, the A.M.A. will obey the Constitution and the laws...
