Abstract
On January 14, 1983, a small aircraft landed in an old World War II naval airfield sixty miles from the Atlantic coastline in a southeastern state. Four passengers deplaned. One of them, a healthy young man in his thirties, walked briskly past the only three private planes parked in the field, entered a telephone booth and called a taxi. The escort assisted his three very sick companions — two men and one woman — into the cab and asked the driver in broken English to rush to the nearby Pilt Hospital Emergency Room.
