...knowledge, practice, and teaching of medicine...; to assist in the advancement of medical research and investigation and in the improvement of medical teaching facilities...." Berry, himself, is president of the corporation's Board of Trustees. Among the Center's participating hospitals are the Massachusetts General, Children's and Peter Bent Brigham--all world-famous. Yoking them into formal association has led to increased cooperation and interdisciplinary effort on the parts of staff members. It has also strengthened Harvard medicine greatly...

That brilliant, recalcitrant mind, trained at the Sorbonne and annealed during the French Resistance, cannot accept the shape of the postwar world. When Dienbienphu falls, she exults, although the fallen are Frenchmen. The U.S. is decadent and bent on war.
