What have they left behind? Two U.S. Public Health Service psychiatrists, who surveyed 232 Haight denizens, found three clusters: kids, beards and toughs. The "lost youth" are younger, less adept. Says a free-clinic nurse: "There are more misfits now, more who can't make it." The "Haight types," with beards and beads, were found to have been disenchanted enough to "split to a Zen monastery." As for the "indigenous-leadership cluster," Methedrine addicts have replaced the work-oriented Diggers and driven them...
...only in its fine camerawork but also in its sense of completeness. Its 77 minutes encompass the totality of Viet Nam combat: the fear and pain and boredom, heat and rain, rare relaxation, and uneasy meetings of East and West. The Marines are genial giants running a village clinic or delivering a baby; they are stunned young men around the whimpering body of a mortally wounded child; they are stone-faced juggernauts of mechanical war evacuating bewildered civilians in helicopters, methodically incinerating their houses with flamethrowers to deprive the enemy of a hiding place...
...five hospitals in Cambridge, Cambridge City alone offers a gynecological clinic, and only reluctantly did the trustees permit the dispensation of contraceptive materials through the hospital.

The argumments for "conservatism" vis a vis family planning in Cambridge are not substantive. Having Catholics on the Board of Trustees...
...corollary question was worded more strongly: "If a maternal and child health care clinic were opened in Cambridge, could it as a matter of policy initiate conversation about birth control with the women it served? Of 62 with no objections to birth control, all but five concurred on the second question. The qualifications imposed by these five were directed to "as a matter of policy," stating the doctor should treat each case individually; one woman suggested the service be available only to married women. The possibility of serving unmarried women may not have occurred to most respondents...
