...terrible society where a person could toss aside a wife or husband because serious illness may come their way. Such a philosophy would be contrary to the teachings of all our great religions and a contradiction of the ethics of Western society. If a person should be so callous as to disregard such normal and humane considerations, the state should not lend encouragement to such callousness by allowing a divorce...
...apathy of the public toward this monstrous practice ... is frightening . . . Not infrequently people, especially those who have neither money, family nor influence, are killed as a result of "interrogations" by savage or, at best, callous police officers who work as though they had a quota to fill; these deaths usually being reported as suicides or "due to natural causes" . . .

Name any public hospital that would try to cut corners like that...
...blossoming of cactus flowers. The splicing and re-splicing gives the film such a rapid gait that within a few minutes a wild pig chases a bobcat up a hundred foot saguaro, a poisonous wasp vanquishes an equally deadly tarantula, and red hawk devours a rattlesnake. The most callous little boy will lie awake until three a.m. after viewing these battles...
