LIKE too many other small American communities, rural Surgoinsville, Tenn., has no doctor. When the town's only physician died in 1966, there was no one to take his place; his modern clinic has been closed ever since, and the 5,000 people who live in and around the little northeastern Tennessee community were forced to drive 28 miles to visit the nearest doctor in a neighboring town. Several months ago, the Rev. Robert E. Button, 28, one of a group of citizens who had been searching for a new doctor, saw an advertisement in TIME placed...
Main Street produced an ad worthy of Madison Avenue. The ad, which ran in several of TIME'S regional editions, showed a child peering through a door window bearing a "clinic closed" sign. Readers were asked to "help Surgoinsville find a doctor"-and, as it turns out, they did just that. The "Surgoinsville Interested Citizens' Committee" (SICK) received scores of responses. Sixteen physicians were among those who wrote, inquiring about setting up practice in Surgoinsville. By last week, the town had narrowed the candidates down to four, and it hopes to have its new doctor soon...
Eakins came to his insight the hard way-through his own dashed hopes and disillusionments. His distinguished teaching career at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts had ended abruptly when he insisted on the need for students to draw from nude models.

He rarely sold a painting, subsisting on a small private income. The year before he met the clerics, his father had died. Eakins himself was an agnostic...
...dancer named Melissa (Anna Karina). Suddenly Justine and Nessim are revealed as Coptic Christians involved in smuggling guns to Palestine so that the Jews can fight the British. Pursewarden, who knows of their treachery, keeps silent, apparently out of love for Justine. Melissa meanwhile goes off to a TB clinic, and Nessim's brother (Robert Forster) is assassinated by his own people. And so it goes for another hour until various deaths and suicides bring Justine to an abrupt conclusion...
...militancy has turned up a mixed pinata of leaders, some of them significantly more strident than Chavez. In Los Angeles, 20-year-old David Sanchez is "prime minister" of the well-disciplined Brown Berets, who help keep intramural peace in the barrio and are setting up a free medical clinic. Some of them also carry machetes and talk tough about the Anglo. Reies Lopez Tijerina, 45, is trying to establish a "Free City State of San Joaquin" for Chicanos on historic Spanish land grants in New Mexico; at the moment, while his appeal on an assault conviction is being adjudicated...
