With the banning of Deep Throat in New York and elsewhere, followed by the new Supreme Court ruling on obscenity guidelines, the tenacious dilemma of censorship once again looms before the public eye. It's sort of like flu epidemics, or like weeds in the garden: every few years, some samples from the then current fringes of social acceptability spring up and are subjected to legal scrutiny. The usual forces line up on opposite sides, like Democrats against Republicans or the Dodgers versus the Giants.

Previous research has already...
Medical students enjoy an enviable position. They have all finished their pre-med training and its fabled cut-throat competition, to reach a plateau where, barring failure, they are assured internships and M.D.s. Any attempt to rank them at this level is meaningless; it only introduces the unnatural and ugly clamor for grades...
