...among his people, she readily agrees to go with him. But in Tunisia they are met by her husband's family, a noisy, colorful clan she was wholly unprepared for. Their food seems outlandish, their curiosity rude. After the long drawn-out, seemingly crude Passover celebration, she cannot conceal her disgust: "I never thought I was saying goodbye to prejudice and superstition at home simply to find myself plunging here into barbarism...
Pain & Sorrow. His portraits were almost ruthless in their candor. He did not even try to conceal the pain that his neglect had caused his wife, or paint out the sadness imprinted on his children's faces (see color).

The drug companies, said Dr. Leake, treat the nation's physicians as "simpletons" by flooding them with "flamboyant, exaggerated advertisements." And "these ads conceal for commercial reasons what is really essential for physicians to know." The 20,000 "detail men" (salesmen who call on doctors) seldom give the physician the scientific background necessary for wise use of a new drug. "If promotional efforts were simpler and more informative," Dr. Leake contended, drug prices could...
