...pile of junk I've ever seen," said Associated Press Correspondent John T. Wheeler, an ex-Air Force officer now covering the war. When a chunk of the junk slapped through the throat of a U.S. adviser, Wheeler picked the wounded man up and began searching for a medic. But the South Vietnamese were already on the run, and armored trucks went bumping wildly across the hills in retreat without regard for the fleeing troops on foot. None would stop for Wheeler and his wounded cargo. "I'd give him a drink of water, and it would come...

"I'm a Band-Aid man," he quips, preparing to amputate a Japanese...
...Staff. Baltimore-born Dr. Sadusk was an Army medic and served on the faculty of Yale and Stanford medical schools before he went to G.W. as a full professor and chairman of a new department of preventive medicine and community health. An experienced administrator, he is also a tough negotiator. He set his own terms for taking the FDA job, and got them. He, and all the doctors on his staff, are to have some time reserved for research or teaching. This, Dr. Sadusk believes, will ensure his being able to attract men of medical distinction...
