The Academy and Pearl Harbor

Looking back at the many meetings of the Academy, meetings that I attended since its founding, the one that left the most memorable impression was the meeting held in New York City in 1941. For this meeting I was preparing an exhibit on minor venereal diseases. At that time, exhibits were not as elaborate and sophisticated as they are now. I had mine prepared by my wife, Stephanie, who did the artwork and lettering. It consisted of a series of cardboard with text and original photographs. Our work was progressing well, and on Sunday, December 7th, we were putting the final touches on the exhibit in our apartment in Manhattan and listening to the radio. Suddenly the transmission was interrupted. There were a few moments of silence and then came the news: The Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. We were stunned, but the meaning was quite clear to us: We were at war with Japan and undoubtedly also with Germany, her ally. How the war would affect our lives and that of all Americans we could not even guess. Throughout the week I went through the motions of my work at the office and the hospitals. I half expected that the Academy Meeting would be canceled, but I was quite mistaken. The meeting of 1941 was carried out as planned from December 14 to 18, 1941. When we went to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where the meeting was held to hang the exhibit, my colleagues were busy installing theirs. My space was next to Maurice Costello's and Frank Cormia's. We helped each other, but there was no mention of Pearl Harbor. The following day the lectures started, and each was delivered without any reference to the war or any comment regarding the future. Yet we all knew how greatly our lives would be affected. The younger generation does not understand the meaning of Pearl Harbor, but to those who have lived through it, the day remains a vivid memory. To me, Pearl Harbor and the Academy meetings are connected in my mind. At the 1986 meeting in New Orleans, December 7th again fell on a Sunday. I was in one of the lectures, and as it always happens to me in the early afternoon on that day, I remembered the misery, pain, destruction, crimes against humanity, and death that this global war caused and hope and pray that it will never happen again.

West German Colleagues Present at Academy Meeting in San Antonio, Tex

Four visiting colleagues from West Germany spoke at the September 1986 meeting of the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery in San Antonio, Tex. Dr W. Draf presented 3200 cases of diagnostic and therapeutic sinus endoscopy via a sublabial approach. His major indications were mucositis, chronic sinusitis, retention cysts, and retained tooth roots. He felt that this approach could often supplant the Caldwell-Luc operation with less morbidity. Dr O. Kleinsasser, with his usual beautiful photodocumentation, discussed his views on verrucous carcinoma of the larynx. He presented 27 cases that had been followed up for 15 years and treated with repeated endoscopic excision without developing invasive growth or metastases. He feels that verrucous carcinoma should be reclassified as a nonmalignant disorder and proposes that it be renamed verrucous acanthosis . A viral origin is suspected. Dr H. G. Schroeder discussed nasal and paranasal adenocarcinoma in West Germany. He found that a

ARCHAEOLOGY & SYMBOLISM IN AZTEC MEXICO: THE TEMPLO MAYOR OF TENOCHTITLAN

The excavations of Templo Mayor in Mexico City between 1978-1982 have provided important archaeological data which, combined with the ethnohistorical data, greatly broaden our knowledge of the Templo Mayor of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, the capital city that controlled the Aztec Empire between 1425-1521. My interpretation of the symbolism of the Templo Mayor is based on the combined archaeological and written resources associated with the ceremonial center of the Aztec capital. In my view the Templo Mayor is a precise example of the Mexica views of the cosmos, consisting of sacred mountains which constitute the fundamental symbolic center of the vertical and horizontal cosmos of the Aztec universe. The twin temples of Tlaloc and Huitzilopochtli situated on top of the pyramidal base are replicas of this cosmic order. As an archaeologist committed to understanding the relationship of economic structures to ideological forms, I am attempting to uncover the interrelationship of the material and symbolic character of the Great Aztec Temple. In what follows, I will describe the material record of the major portions of the excavation and offer my interpretation of the symbolic order of the Temple. *Professor of Archaeology at the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropologia Social in Mexico and Director of the excavations of the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan, Dr. Moctezuma presented this paper as an illustrated slide lecture at the 75th Anniversary Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion. The Editor expresses the gratitude of the Academy to Professor David Carrasco and his Assistant, Ms. Joan Goertoffer, of the University of Colorado, Boulder, for their generous assistance toward the present form of the paper. We are also grateful to Professor Jose Cuellar of Stanford University for his translation of Professor Moctezuma's lecture at the Academy Meeting. Professor Moctezuma requested that footnoting be omitted, given the informal character of his address. Readers interested in pursuing the scholarly apparatus of the paper are advised to consult the forthcoming work of Professors

Safety of Infants in Automobiles

At the recent Academy Meeting in Boston, we had a most unusual experience. Although we have exhibited the Bobby-Mac Baby Chair at Academy Meetings during the past three years as a safe infant seat-car seat-high chair, we were surprised to have an Academy member state that he "always recommends that the very young baby be held in the mother's arms even in a car," and "did not approve of car restraints for infants". In view of the available research on car seat safety for infants and children, it is difficult to believe that a physician counseling young mothers could maintain such an attitude.

The future of otolaryngology.

The well-attended Teachers Section of Otolaryngology at the recent Academy Meeting in Chicago provided some explosive expressions which should give us all food for thought. The announcement of the Residency Coordinator that a fourth year in general surgery would be added to the present three-year requirement for training in otolaryngology after 1960, came as a bombshell. The preponderance of opinion elicited was that this was untimely, unrealistic, and ill-advised. The applause that followed definitely indicated where the majority stood. In the group discussions after the meeting, opinions were even less restrained. Why should the occupants of these ivory towers make such far-reaching decisions without first sampling the opinions of the rank and file? Don't we all have a vital stake in the future of our specialty? It appeared that the democratic process had broken down in this phase of the Academy's influential activities. The Chairman of the Teachers Section, it
