...psychiatric services with keen interest. Fortunately, Dr. Blaine is candid about the two-faced policy the health service follows with regard to confidentiality. If he feels free to decide unilaterally in an area as critical as the decision to take one's own life, that it is not his patient's right to have these most private thoughts kept in confidence, how is the patient to know what other sensitive area will be beyond the good doctor's limits? If I were a student in need of psychiatric service, I would take little comfort from Dean Glimp's outrageous assertion...
...operates only sporadically or, in some places, not at all. Mail has piled up undelivered in the post offices, weeks late. The city's hospitals are so crowded that only emergency cases are accepted, and even then the newcomer will probably have to share his bed with another patient or sleep on the floor.

But Hunter bores into Chapman's belligerent face, the frozen glance breaks, cheeks and lips contort, shiver in embarrassment. The patient camera has cut into the soft ludicrous center of his tough resolve...
...relatively backward peasant masses. While ostensibly the product of a mass revolution. North Vietnam seems to be having real problems with its peasantry, which has resisted regimentation more persistently than China's rural classes. The regime may be hoping the example of a dedicated urban phalanx and the patient persuasion of students will bring around some recalcitrant farmers...
