I have no longer any recourse but to be more determined and severe in my 
reaction, although I obviously fear pushing him to drug or psychotic reaction. 
In this case I must not let my fear of losing his respect or love enter into 
the issue, for to date it has been a concern leading only to destructive 
results. Firm, .nonvacillating behavior is all I can choose. If all seems 
wise, I shall simply insist that he live at the college and finance him 
adequately but minimally to avoid the trouble he gets into with excess funds 
at his disposal. If his car is handled wisely, I shall leave it with him, 
still registered and insured in my name. If he gets into wilder behavior, 
I have no recourse but to get rid of it. I hope I can steer this course 
wisely and avoid confrontations and arguments with him, which are to him un- 
fortunately the proof of my continued involvement with him. 
Ivan is a bit sea sick. He ate a meal although feeling sick and had to 
rush from the table to vomit. Later he reappeared to eat a meal all over 
again. Rarely have I seen such pluck. 
Pingelap Atoll, Caroline Islands November 23, 1972 
There are three islands in Pingelap ; Pingelap itself where all the 
people live, Sukura, and Teko. On Pingelap there are four villages, each 
with a church of its own, arranged along one straight road which parallels 
the beach and the reef. These are Kakarakap, Moniap, Kakalia, and Namal. 
In addition, each of these villages has a second division with a name of its 
own. 
Daniel is the Medical Assistant or "nurse" here. His wife, Eruku, 
is in her second month of her 7th pregnancy and she has started to vomit 
several times each day. Yesterday he gave her 500 ml of 5% glucose 
venously. I have told him that if she keeps it up we shall give here 500 
ml more of 5% saline, but in the meanwhile I am giving her 25 mg Phenergan 
every six hours. She has a negative abdomen, which is soft and nontender 
even to deep palpation, her blood pressure is 116/70, her pulse about 70 
and she is not dehydrated and shows no edema of ankles or sacrum. She 
feels ill, is nauseated often and has vomitted twice today. Her leucocyte 
count is 7,700. Their six children are all boys: Phillip (8th grade, 14 
years old); Donald (6th grade, 12 years old); Nupuo (5th grade, 10 years 
old); Andrew (1st grade, 6 years old); Kenti (5 years old); and Willy, 
(3 years old) . 
Mbagintao, Don and I are staying on shore. We have had a large Thanks- 
giving meal on the Alpha Helix and come ashore again for the evening. The 
Captain has let the people have "The Last Tomahawk" for showing on the 
island-owned 16mm projector. However, the generator at the school was pro- 
ducing insufficient power and too low voltage to pull the projector at all 
when the take up reel was empty and when we wound it by hand it projected at 
the right speed but with very weak sound. None the less, by much tinkering 
and much hand winding of the take up both at the beginning and end of each 
reel, the film got shown. It was really a silent showing for most of the 
several hundred in the audience, but a few of them could hear the sound, and 
these were fortunately school boys who understand enough of the English to
