...delighted to read TIME'S Essay on the family physician [May 13]. For years the American Academy of General Practice has been telling this story to medical educators, but our words have fallen on deaf ears. We do not advocate the family doctor of 50 years ago, but a bright, modern family physician well trained in comprehensive medicine, and schooled in those attributes so well described in your Essay.

...these!" (Moreau) "Hurry up! We're going to the dance!" Then the beginnings of an exit, such as you get on high-school stages when there's no room in the wings. It's clumsy, and unlike Malle. Some of these scenes might seem less vacuous to French ears deaf to the banal dialogue spoken in English. I suspect that one scene, where some Negro officials sit around sipping tea, is built almost entirely of phrases from English textbooks--"Pass the sugar," and so forth--and hence is an in-joke for any educated Frenchman...
