Atlantic City and the Boardwalk: 1932–1976

Abstract

Memories of the meetings in Atlantic City of the two major academic medical societies, the AAP and the ASCI, are enveloped by a vague and unsettling nostalgia. Dominating the scene was the Boardwalk — a site of unexpected encounters, often with long-forgotten colleagues, evoking a feeling of shared intellectual excitement and rich personal ties.
