Leavy said that members of the UHS staff, both in psychiatry and medicine, will be at the conference to discuss the physical and emotional consequences of rape...
...Great American Theme flourishing in recent film and fiction concerns the menopausal U.S. male who seems to be burdened by mortgages, a dismal sex life and fallen arches.

A Case of Rape attracted a record-breaking audience for a realistic, if dramatically ill-resolved, study of the one crime in which the victim can almost count on being further punished by the legal system. Finally, with The Execution of Private Slovik, NBC managed to flack its way into the mightiest flop...
