...alarming heroin epidemic. The number of narcotic arrests in the city rose by 462% between 1967 and 1970; drug-related crimes, such as robbery, theft and prostitution, also increased dramatically. In 1967 a total of 21 Washingtonians were known to have succumbed to heroin overdoses, and using the ratio of 200 addicts per overdose, officials estimated the city's addict population then at 4,200. The figure for last year by that measure should have been...
...irony of it all! Socialized medicine it may be, but can the A.M.A. find enough humanitarians in its own ranks to balance the ratio of doctor to patient in deprived rural areas?

The strong Harvard opposition to an equal ratio was one of the major reasons for the not-complete-merger plan just approved: legally, the two institutions are still separate. If ever an equal rights amendment is added to the state or federal constitution, it would not apply to an equal admissions policy because these functions will be kept separate under the new contract...
