...customary Moliere style, Scapine is a romantic farce which pokes fun at the middle class. Octavio (Jon Blackstone) and Leander (Gintaras Valiulis), two wealthy young men, want to marry women considered unsuitable by their stuffy parents, Argante (Donal Logue) and Geronte (Celia Wren). They enlist the help of the mischievous Scapine (Maria Troy), a cunning, appealing servant...
...recent years a number of studies and widely publicized malpractice suits ( have spotlighted the problem of medical incompetence and, particularly, the lack of disciplinary surveillance. The court-martial of Naval Surgeon Donal Billig earlier this year for involuntary manslaughter was a notorious case in point.

Knight-Ridder newspapers picked up seven of the 15 newspaper awards, a record for a single chain...

Last week a nine-member court-martial jury found that Commander Donal Billig, a Navy doctor and former chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital, had "wrongfully" performed that delicate operation. The result: two retired servicemen, Lieut. Colonel John Kas and Petty Officer Joe Estep, died in 1984 after Billig operated on them...
