...described as "the ship of this world on its voyage to eternity." Her passengers were pimps, bigots, weaklings and other morally rumpled types, booked from Veracruz to Bremerhaven on the German vessel Vera during the early 1930s.

(Recent ones included an address before the annual meeting of the American Orthopsychiatric Association and a commencement speech at New York's Horace Mann School.) He has been a leader in the aggressive attempt to integrate psychiatric services into college health operations...
