...should also be pointed out that in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in practice, it takes two physicians to commit a person to a mental hospital for a ten day period of observation--one to fill out the Section 79 (Request for Observation) paper and the other to accept it. A physician may not request observation of a person at a hospital where he is employed and this provides a double check for the person committed for observation. While in practice most Section 79 papers are accepted by the admitting physician this is by no means always true...
...Section 79 paper expires after ten days. The patient's stay may then be extended for further observation on a Section 77 paper if the superintendent of the institution requests more time. This extension is limited to forty days and provides still further check. Finally, if after forty days the patient has not decided to stay voluntarily (and in my experience about nine out of ten patients do) the superintendent of the hospital may request a Section 51 commitment. This is all the doctor may do, as only a judge may commit somebody on a Section 51 paper. Any patient...

The sponsors included an impressively broad geographic and factional cross section of party leaders and allies-broader than any that either Kennedy or McCarthy has been able to construct...
...court's reasoning was broad enough to strike down similar jury death-penalty provisions in federal bank-robbery laws and the Atomic Energy Act's national-security section. But it did not affect the constitutionality of capital punishment, currently under broad legal attack. In fact, the court implied that should Congress wish to maintain a death penalty provision in the Lindbergh law, nothing in last week's decision would prevent it from approving legislation enabling judge as well as jury to pass such a sentence. Any such provision would not affect Jackson and his pals, but they...
...spots climb on to the backdrop, they become beach-balls, rolling along the shadows of dancers' extended arms or bouncing between the two. The spots free themselves, scurry around the room as the dancers desperately attempt to pounce back into the light now two dimensional again. This section ends, the dancers on their backs, legs pointing upwards, with the dots poised just above--inverted exclamation marks. In the last movement, "Arrival at Harmony," music, light and movement combine and complement each other for what are perhaps the most lyrical and most joyful moments of the evening...
