...Donald and Hugh Griffith, retelling the story of an English physician whose Hippocratical beginnings disappear in a hypocritical practice on London's fashionable Harley Street. If the play suffered from an excess of blood sugar, Dr. Cronin's professional authenticity more than compensated. No one could write Medic so well...
Thomas Anthony Dooley III, 32, was doing what he liked best. Born to affluence in St. Louis, he had become a Navy medic, been caught up in the soul-searing 1954 evacuation of anti-Communist refugees from North Viet Nam, returned to Asia to set up hospitals in the remotest parts of Red-threatened northern Laos.
