...year prison sentence. The duchess, whose title* is one of the most venerated in her country, was convicted of illegal protest when she led the villagers of Palomares on a protest trip to Madrid on the first anniversary of the crash of a U.S. bomber bearing a load of H-bombs near the town...
...pressures of a trial exaggerate legitimate disagreements still further. Defendants claiming insanity are most often accused of the crimes for which juries have least sympathy: murder, armed robbery, arson or rape. Hence defense lawyers load their questions to experts, hoping to produce answers convincing enough to overcome the layman's often exaggerated presumption of sanity.

Clearly, the system cries out for reform. It not only distributes the load unfairly, but also has unintended economic and social side effects, ranging from the ridiculous to the calamitous.

Their disproportionate increase in income in recent years is due in large part to a massive increase in their patient load. This is due to rising population, Medicare, Medicaid, and, most importantly, to increasing patient respect and confidence in the physician. The fact that more physicians have not been produced by the medical schools is not because of A.M.A. obstructionism but because of the inability of private schools to finance additions...
