He knew all along that it was not possible, but, searched for every news media microphone to spew his garbage. Well, he got out of prison last year and has kept his mouth shut since. Anyway, as for expansion of The University of Alabama School of Medicine, think of the University of Texas Medical School model. There is a doctor shortage in this State and in this Nation and it needs to be addressed.

I was referring to chatter in the late 1960s among the Birmingham business community and among the UA Med School doctors who resented having to be managed from Tuscaloosa.
