...prototype for the program, seven first-year students are currently enrolled in a month-long elective using the case study method. The instructor, Jeffrey N. Berman, is taking a year off between his third and fourth years at the Med School, and said yesterday that it offers better education than he received his first year as a medical student...

In the cozy village of San Paulo, a sextet of lowlifes, who make the Manson family look like the Cabbage Patch Kids, are being killed one by one by a method delicately described as "a .38-cal. vasecto-my." The vengeful dispatcher is an artist who had been raped by the San Paulo Six a decade before. Since she is played by Eastwood's frequent co-star Sondra Locke, you can guess what Harry's verdict will be when he catches...
