...police are searching for a 6-ft., 190-lb. man with stringy blond hair. Deputy Chief George N. Beck says that a psychiatric profile describes the killer as "a jackal ... a loner, some guy who probably lives like a hermit and only creeps out of his hole to commit these horrible crimes." The police also say that he could be a homosexual. The killer preys on defenseless men of small stature in their 40s or 50s, knocks them unconscious with blows to the head and slits their throats with a large sharp hunting knife.

Your article "Therapists and Threats" [Jan. 20] certainly indicates how physicians, and more specifically psychiatrists, are being told to practice medicine by lawyers. We all know of many instances of people not only with potentially harmful thoughts and feelings but who have already committed violent acts including murder, being released on technicalities or other rulings and essentially given license to commit another violent act.

But it is, astonishingly, only the latest episode in a series of events that, at least to Philadelphia newspaper readers, have made the whole Kallinger family well known over the past few years. In January 1972, three Kallinger children went into court to press charges of extreme physical abuse against their father. Kallinger languished in jail for seven months awaiting trial because...
