Standing nervously before ten officers, Captain Howard Brett Levy listened to their verdict, his hands clasped behind his back, and then returned wordlessly to his seat. Thus the court-martial of the antiwar doctor drew to its predictable conclusion last week at Fort Jackson, S.C. The court found Levy guilty of disobeying an order and two lesser counts of promoting "disloyalty and disaffection" among Army troops bound for Viet Nam. His sentence: three years' imprisonment at hard labor, a dishonorable discharge, and forfeiture of all pay and allowances...
Despite an array of sympathetic doctors called to support Levy, including Dr. Benjamin Spock, the antiwar baby doctor, the military tribunal remained unconvinced. Ruled Presiding Law Officer Colonel Earl V. Brown: Levy was "not justified in disobeying the order on grounds that it was contrary to his medical judgments or ethical beliefs."

Patients were devoted to the charming German Czech, and so was his staff. Small wonder that there seemed to be nothing between...
...favorite family rendezvous is the Wild Goose II, Wayne's 130-ft. converted Navy minesweeper. The Goose is a substitute for riding, which he has had to give up on doctor's orders, except while filming. He still goes after marlin off Baja California, hunts deer in the Sierras. His other prey and preoccupation is Communist expansion. He was a prime mover of the old anti-left Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American I deals. Today, his cause is Viet Nam. "Once you go over there," he says, "you won't be middle...
