So when Stony Brook learned of Mills' dual loyalties, it reluctantly asked for and got his resignation. At Yale, Provost Charles Taylor sent two administrative assistants to Mills' bachelor apartment with a demand that he resign within 24 hours. After Mills refused, President Kingman Brewster suspended him for a year for "blatant disregard of ethics...
Earl Perry, an elderly bachelor, has primary cardiopathy, a common disease of the heart muscle.

As a result, Perry, who also has diabetes, periodically lands in a medical ward of the Boston Veterans Administration Hospital.

...Hospital shares little but garrulousness with the kind of Bronx homespun that made Screenwriter Chayefsky's reputation (Marty, The Bachelor Party). It has more in common with the dyspeptic humor of Chayefsky's The Americanization of Emily, a clubfooted send-up of war heroes.
