I will continue to strive and struggle to apply what I think are conservative principles to the modern problems that we have so ... we will come to see the benefit of what I call the middle-of-the-road government...
Although Pioneer Eugen Bleuler concluded half a century ago that schizophrenia is a worldwide disease, some psychiatrists continue to doubt it.
