I well recall a conversation I had with a Dr. Center in Savannah,* Georgia, in 1949. It well expresses the arrogance and complete contempt for law and order of the psychiatrist. A man had just called to inquire after his wife who was “under treatment” in Center’s hospital. Center asked him, “Do you have the money...? That’s right, thirty thousand...well you better get it or I’ll have to send your dear wife to the state institution and you know what will happen then!” I was there doing work on … [Read more...] about Web article: Today’s Terrorism (n.d.)

Traveling east in 1948, Ron spent three months helping deeply disturbed inmates in a Savannah, Georgia mental hospital. "I worked with some of these," he recalled, "interviewing and helping out as what they call a lay practitioner, which means a volunteer.

Lecture: On Auditing: How to Succeed/Fail, Assess (1952)
The Genetic Entity has come up in terms of races. There’s the yaller race and the white race and… and the green race, and so forth. The number of races that have come up the track — we don’t care about these races. If… the fact that somebody is trying to tell people that these races have equal rights under law isn’t telling anybody any brand-new big news — it’s darned obvious that they should have. It’s very weird here on Earth, that anybody should beat the drum about this. Well, that … [Read more...] about Lecture: On Auditing: How to Succeed/Fail, Assess (1952)
