They never could. Four times Lamphere angrily signed himself out of the hospital, complaining of inadequate care, stormed to the main door-and there was persuaded to return because he was again spitting blood...
...main evil of the age? Says Bachelor Williams: "Overpopulation. I don't understand why nothing is done to stop this spawning of children in families that can't even afford to have one. It is a crime-an awful crime...
