Lack of WACs. Morgan sounded as extreme as his client. According to the charges against Levy and the testimony of some of the 27 prosecution witnesses, the doctor told GIs that he would refuse to go to Viet Nam if ordered, that Negro soldiers especially should refuse to fight there, that Lyndon Johnson was like Adolf Hitler and that Special Forces men?whom he was ordered to instruct? "are liars and thieves and killers of peasants and murderers of women and children." To teach the Green Berets how to treat skin diseases of Vietnamese peasants, Levy said, would "prostitute...
...purpose of the mission was to find war-injured children suitable for medical treatment in the U.S." How many such children were found by the three-doctor mission sent to Viet Nam by the Committee of Responsibility to Save War-Burned and War-Injured Vietnamese Children? Thirteen, for now.

Predictably, Opale's appearances become progressively vicious during the first...
...tragedy of this erstwhile comedy, Celeste Holm, who plays Sandra's mother, pronounces such stagy prattle as: "Don't you like him any more? I mean are you afraid it was just (pause) physical?" For those who wonder whatever happened to that angry young hippie, Mort Sahl, Doctor casts him in a cameo part as a square nightclub owner. Even a grain of Sahl adds no flavor to this tasteless trifle...
