...fairly standard crew. Unfortunately, once the puzzle has fallen into place, the movie goes to pieces. Hero Garner and Collaborator Saint plow doggedly through the rubble to discover anew that there is nothing like a tight squeeze for bringing people together, while Rod Taylor, as a Nazi medico imbued with Yankee sportsmanship, reveals that he became a menace only to serve mankind. In the frayed formula ending, Writer Seaton has sabotaged his outlandish melodrama, like a man who strides into battle armed with a formidable secret weapon and hobbles out brandishing a mere slingshot...
Though small-town doctors are in a minority in the A.M.A., they get the Association presidency disproportionately often. This is not so much the result of rural overrepresentation as of the facts of medico-political life. The small-town doctor has fewer professional societies to occupy him than his big-city colleagues have; he devotes relatively more time to his county medical society. Dr. Appel, during most of his professional life, has been methodically working his way up the ladder of medical-society office holding, first at the county level, then the state, and for 19 years as a member...
Trouble is, it is India in the year 1944. There's a war on, and at command HQ the best interests of Allied unity seem to demand the death penalty for a Yank who kills a limey.

Through a program coordinated by MEDICO, the CARE-affiliated international medical cooperation agency co-founded by the late Dr. Tom Dooley, the doctors volunteer to spend a month practicing their specialties in out-of-the-way places in Africa, Latin America and the Far East. They usually pay their own way and always work without pay. At local clinics and hospitals, they...
...operations on almost every affliction known to orthopedics. In Hong Kong, three prominent eye surgeons performed a series of delicate corneal transplants. When Algeria gained its independence last July, fewer than 200 doctors were left to care for 11 million people, many suffering from epidemic diseases and war injuries. MEDICO rushed in emergency teams of doctors and nurses; now eight one-month doctors are on duty in Algiers. The volunteer system, says Dr. Peter D. Coman-duras, co-founder and now chief of MEDICO, demonstrates that "a great deal can be done with very little money in bringing the latest...
