Today it was the turn of Winnenden (pop. 27,600), a pretty town some 12 miles (20 km) outside Stuttgart in southern Germany. At 9:30 in the morning, Tim Kretschmer, a 17-year-old former student of Albertville Realschule entered the school's plain, white flat-roofed building wielding a 9mm Beretta and, as a police spokesman described it, "simply opened fire". On his rampage through classrooms and corridors, the youngster, clad in black combat gear and reportedly wearing a mask, killed nine pupils, all of them aged 14 or 15, and three women teachers, and injured seven others...

Said he: "I believe it is incumbent on every physician in this country to devote at least two hours a day to educating the people in his community as to the significance of such legislation"-i.e., against...
...castration argument is not over. Many doctors are castration zealots. Others, like Dr. Kretschmer, are dead set against it. Drs. Herger and Sauer take the middle ground: they do not invariably castrate all prostatic-cancer patients, but recommend castration 1) for patients who do not respond to female sex hormones, 2) to prolong and ease the lives of men whose cancers have become widespread...
