A few years ago, he decided to

incognito. He wrote to his pub
Usher in New York, advising him
of his plans.
Please do not tell anyone I

the publisher. Everyone knows
already"
SECRET WEAPON: Mystery
writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
once was introduced to a bore
who fancied himself a criminolo-

some chatter for a half-hour
the writer escaped to another

to Doyle.

preciated being ushered in

Fortunately, that belief is nov

medicine. Gradually, we doctors
are breaking down the barriers
We don't have to spend hour:
convincing all patients that they
need psychiatric advice. There
are still many exceptions, how.

had not helped. Il can't see why

passes many conditions. Any
