An obscure physician from Brooklyn, drafted into the Army and clearly a military misfit, was haled before a general court-martial, charged with preaching antiwar dogma to enlisted men and refusing to teach them dermatology as he had been ordered. But last week the case of Captain Howard Levy took on unexpected significance both as a precedent in military law and as a chapter in the worldwide debate over the Vietnamese war. For the first time in a U.S. military court, the war-crimes doctrine of Nürnberg...

Association officials admit with some embarrassment that eleven Southern associations still operate segregated activities, but these have now been threatened with expulsion unless they change their ways.

There is far less chance of a diagnostic oversight when the physician can re-ex amine his findings on tape, and his observations are instantly checked by colleagues. At later stages of treatment, or if the patient moves away and is treated by another doctor, the color videotape record will recall accurately and precisely what the original condition...
