...individual freedom. The U.S. would have to maintain a huge armament program. (But after all, the General told himself: "Hitler ... is mortal and he'll die some day. The way to tame a rebel is to make him rich and then he becomes conservative and settles down.") The net, as the General cast it up: retention of "most of the good things of our way of life and progress as a great nation...
...well-organized, money-making business deciding to take a bankrupt firm in as partner." In that "impractical" partnership, the U.S. would squander its treasury and its sons' blood.

Some courses, such as obstetrics, have been slightly shortened, but the net result of this is to make a poorer obstetrician without producing a better dentist. Nor has there been any consideration of the fact that most men would rather be doctors than dentists, and that the school's graduates, sporting both an M.D. and a D.M.D., can give up the drill...
