Powers Trial Witness Describes Flight and Regrets
Gary Powers faced life imprisonment in Moscow on August 19, 1860, his 31st birthday. He described his CIA work and the May 1 flight, expressed remorse for provoking tensions, and admitted the mission could have harmed the summit, saying he regrets the flight. The judge asked if he served his country well. Powers answered that it was a very bad service. The verdict later limited his sentence to ten years with three years in prison.

It cites doctors and patients split on socialized medicine and points to emigration of physicians to the U S and Canada as a talent drain.
