Many of Laragh's colleagues and co-workers at Columbia Presbyterian plan to follow him in the 100-block move to The New York Hospital because they like what one calls "the atmosphere of scientific ferment" that surrounds their leader.

It might have seemed as though last month's coup by Portuguese officers displeased with their country's colonial policy, followed by widely-publicized continuing ferment in both Portugal and its African colonies, gave Bok an excellent chance to carry out his pledge...
