...answer to the tired taxpayers', angered insurance policyholders' and bedraggled yet interested citizens' prayer! Up to this point, religion, politics, sex, and especially education have been placed on the American scaffold. What makes medicine sacrosanct? Bravo for the expose of both the overworked, underpaid members of the medical profession and the utter lack of recourse of nearly all U.S. citizens in approaching the business of medicine on a knowledgeable level...
Crime Tolerance. Nowhere is public and police indifference greater than in the big cities, where the violent-crime rate is already five times higher than in rural areas. Harassed, overworked and underpaid, metropolitan police often are not only unable but unwilling to deal with any except the most serious lawen forcement problems.

And its 1,350 underpaid men must patrol 446 square miles, third largest municipal territory in the country...
