1931

Hello, everyone. The holidays are past, time to think of how to spend the rest of winter, depending on where we are and how mobile our old sinews remain. I ventured to the big city to a ballet and that Modem Millie skit; pretty cold chasing taxis finding the right bus and keeping focused on the objective of the evening. The MOMA on 54th Street is undergoing vast reconstruction. Taxi drivers were very attentive. My companion and I survived the whole process, and a relaxed morning after in a friends apartment. But the drive from central Jersey and back is not for the faint of heart. Many just find it better to sit back with a pot of green tea and enjoy the ex- cellent shows on Channel 13. The other night Rus- sell Baker provided a rare treat with several H.E. Bate stories about Uncle Silas featuring life in the English countryside during the horse-and-manpower farm days.

To top off personal stuff, a friend clued me in to the book by Dartmouth author doctor Bob Arnot, DMS'72, titled The Prostate Cancer Protection Plan. Very encouraging.

By the way President Bush has asked that we call the White House, (202) 548-1111 and register opposition or approval as to his war policy. When you get this issue we will probably still be on the precipice, so call them.

The current Dartmouth Medical School magazine just arrived and is very interesting and informative about their projects. A letter in the mail column tells of the experience of attending the Latin and Greek classes of professor Royal Nemiah. (My Latin teacher at Lawrenceville told me that my time at Dartmouth would be wasted if I did not succeed in taking all the Latin possible in Professor Nemiah's class. And it has made a difference.)

And let me have some news.
