...Viet Nam, the personal strains of the war are still firmly etched in a number of shocking statistics. Of the 2.4 million Vietvets who served in Southeast Asia between 1961 and 1973, some 55,000 are presently receiving Government compensation for psychiatric disorders. Dr. Cherry Cedarleaf, former senior staff psychiatrist at the VA hospital in Minneapolis, has estimated that 50% of the returnees need some professional help in adjusting to civilian life. About 25% of the 800,000 veterans who have sought admission to VA hospitals or have been sent there by authorities have attempted suicide. As many...
...symptoms, explains Psychiatrist Cyril Barnert of Los Angeles, occur on two levels. In milder cases-the great majority-the vet feels constantly depressed and unable to get involved in ordinary life. Looking like the classic student dropout, he hangs listlessly around street corners, sometimes in a marijuana haze, or drifts from one low-level job to another. Sometimes he plays at war; in Los Angeles vets often gather at the burned-out remains of an amusement park at Venice pier to stage mock battles, often using shields fashioned from turtle shells. In severe cases, a vet may brood for days...

After several years of various forms of physical therapy to relieve the pain, she began to see a psychiatrist and take tranquilizers to steady her nerves. "I tried to be everything," she admits, "and I completely lost my sense of self-worth." Now she declares that "I feel better than I have in years," and no longer relies on tranquilizers...
There are other possible criminal charges, including subornation of perjury, tax fraud, misprision of a felony, misuse of Government funds for his private home, violating the civil rights of Daniel Ellsberg and his former psychiatrist, Lewis Fielding. It is not impossible that still further charges will emerge; 12,500 cu. ft. of tapes, records and other Nixon documents remain in the White House. They would normally belong to a former President, but because they may contain evidence of crimes, there will probably be some effort to comb through them before they are handed over to Nixon...
