Promises to Keep
From august, 1959 until his death in January 1961, Dooley suffered continuous
, excruciating pain. His normal weight of 180 was cut in half and even 
the pain-killing drugs could not bring relief. Knowing that 
he did not have long to 
live, Dr.Dooley worked without respite on behalf of MEDICO, the organization
he had founded to bring medical aids and hops to the world's sick and needy.
The lines of Robert Frost kept reverberrating in his mind during those
fretful days:"The woods are lovely and dark, but I have promises to keep, and
miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep." When he finally
succumbed, millions throughout the world were stunned and grief-stricken by
the tragedy.


a red herring--We felt that the introduction of his war record was a
red herring to keep us from inquiring into his graft.
