Second year, to the dismay of many, is, in form, a repetition of this lecture hall-laboratory existence, with even more of one's time taken up. Not until third year, does one really get into Harvard's teaching hospitals. But most students feel the wait is worth it, since the Medical School's wide variety of clinical facilities including such famous hospitals at the Peter Brigham, Massachusetts General, and Boston Lying-In) is likely the best in the world. Nearness to say, the Harvard M.D. that comes the fourth year is a most valuable credential...

In India, two German tourists were beaten by a mob that thought they were Americans. Washington held only one trump card and promptly used it: all military supplies to both countries were suspended. Pakistan would...
Fateful Friendship. But to Joe's profound dismay, his daydreams do not come true. No fur-lined apartments, no nymphomaniacal millionairesses. Pretty soon he runs out of money and sells himself to a homosexual schoolboy-who takes his pleasure but then cannot pay.
