That the APA refused to send Dr. Altman's letter to the recipients of Dr. Gelles's letter demonstrates bad faith, if not the moral bankruptcy of the APA leadership. I'm not sure what, but I feel more should be done, as the Gelles letter is the political equivalent of a shot across the bow. I believe a pamphlet should be issued. We could distribute it at major bookstores in primary cities across the country. Let's make this fight more political, and bring public pressure to bear upon APA. What do you think? Excellent reply by you, Stephen, and by Dr. Altman, and Dr. Miles.
