How, then, can the U.S. meet its impending energy crisis...
Other doctors, notably William Carlos Williams, have combined literature and medicine. Boris Pasternak, in Doctor Zhivago, regarded the fusion as a ministry to body and spirit. Ronald Glasser, 31, considers his excursion into prose less a vocation than a special necessity of the moment, a response to the anguish and perplexity of young soldiers who are, he believes, essentially children. He has no immediate plans to write anything else...
