What is needed is the Solomonic wisdom that will find the elusive line which is ideal for neither side but acceptable to both, and then the method to guarantee those borders by international compact. That would be the beginning of the essential basis of peace, namely, Arab acceptance of Israel's right to exist...
Less than a mile from the Allan on Pine Avenue towers the new ten-story, redbrick pile of Montreal General Hospital. Here Director Albert Edward Moll of the Psychiatry Division has carried the half-day hospital principle to its logical conclusion: a compact space at the west end of the fourth floor is a day hospital by day and a night hospital by night.
