...further issue of how to fight the loyalty provision is a tactical one. So long as the University thought there was a chance that legislative action would remove the affidavit requirement, it accepted the funds; but since this hope has at least temporarily vanished, strategy has had to be changed. Obviously, the University, as well as other schools and academic associations should support new legislation that attempts to remove the oath. Last year, Harvard's ambivalent attitude was cited in Congress as a part of an argument that the loyalty oath was acceptable to even the best schools; but clear...

With a callousness that is often the byproduct of continuously observed suffering, doctors compete for reputation and experiment with various treatments, while the confused patient gains hope, loses it, and finally subsides in confusion. Awkward nurses blunder, the food drives patients to mutiny; in the background lurks the cut-price competition among sanatoria entrepreneurs, who often measure their profit margins by the pennies they save in the kitchen. Seen as an expose of the tuberculosis racket...
