...Gomes can well attest, with the rise of religion has come the development of a small but outspoken conservative element at Harvard, represented by such organizations as the Association Against Learning in the Absence of Religion and Morality (AALARM) and the conservative publication Peninsula...
Smith knows that his stance is more polemical than practical; no one truly expects men to abandon the gynecological field. Nor should they, as many women patients will attest.

The department's guidelines, modeled after those of the U.S. military, barred anyone who had a history of cancer...
