INTERNALLY-RECOGNIZED FEATURED SPEAKER ADDED!

 

We are very pleased to add Theodore Dalrymple (aka Anthony Daniels, M.D.) to our program.  A regular in the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and the London Sunday Times, this British psychiatrist who treats the poor in a slum hospital and a prison in England has seemingly seen it all.

 

The key insight of his latest book, Life at the Bottom, is that long-term poverty is caused not by economics, but by a dysfunctional set of values, one that is continually reinforced by an elite culture searching for victims.

 

 He’s received rave reviews from Thomas Sowell, George Will, and Peggy Noonan, who says without qualification: “Theodore Dalrymple is the best doctor-writer since William Carlos Williams.”

 

 Read an excerpt from his book on our website at www.aapsonline.org, or order it from Amazon.com.

 

We’ll also turn loose nationally syndicated columnists, “The Medicine Men,” also known as Michael Glueck, M.D. and Robert Cihak, M.D. (former AAPS president).  They’ll take on the entire legal profession and the cost that frivolous litigation adds to medicine.

 

More announcements to come! Watch the website for updates.

The hotel is a stunner! Keeping watch over the shimmering waters of Mobile Bay, the resort upholds a tradition of Southern graciousness that has reigned since 1847 as a sanctuary of warm service and gentility.

 

--   1847and.comderson800) 635-1196 PAAriceWaterhA golfer’s paradise, it is an escape of beauty and comfort dedicated to the pleasure of every guest,

featuring new beaches, tropical pool, and a 20,000 sq. ft. spa building.

 

Make your reservations early to get the best views of the bay. Visitors unanimously rank it 5 out of 5 stars.  Here’s just a sample from Gulf Coast Traveler Magazine:

 

“Spread over 550 acres, guests are greeted with afternoon cookies and if so inclined, are encouraged to try a mint julep in great southern style. The resort's facade is understated, blending in naturally with the dripping moss of the century-old Oak trees.”
