		Ben, his older brother, and their mother eventually settled in the red-light district on Chicago's near south side.
		She conceived the idea that Ben would be the ideal father for her children, despite the knowledge that she would most probably remain at most a "minor character" in his life.
		Rose, kept informed of all these developments by Reitman himself, "thought that [Medina] had stolen Ben from her." The situation is reminiscent of a soap opera plot.

		Ben Reitman was a hobo, a writer, a doctor, an agitator, an educator, a lover of Emma Goldman and a distributor of birth control information at a time when such doing so was illegal and highly dangerous.
		After all, Reitman based this book largely on three women that he knew, as well as material from hundreds of conversations he had with various tramps, hoboes, and other people on the road throughout the course of his life.
		Here is where the reader truly benefits from Dr. Reitman's hundreds of interviews, as he illuminates how people come to be the people they are, and why they believe what they profess to believe.

		Goldman's love letters to Reitman reveal both a fascination with his plebeian aura and an exuberant language of sexual expression.
		Addressing Reitman as "Hobo," Goldman rhapsodizes about the longings of her "treasure box" and complains that Hobo has neglected "Mount Blanc" and "Mount Jura" (producing delighted laughter, of course, from the audience in Merrick Barn).
		Stansell suggests that these free lovers thus created a "space of reciprocity" where hurt and jealousy were considered part of a bygone era.

	GUINEA PIG ZERO: Anarchists in Medicine and Pharmacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A look through the anarchist literature of the period will reveal the names of a remarkable number of doctors, who pioneered many of the debates on social changes that are, by and large, taken for granted today.
		Among them, the best known is undoubtedly Ben Reitman, because he catered to the mainstream press' image of an anarchist by hanging out in saloons and hobo jungles, once carrying on a comic chase scene with detectives through department stores, and generally keeping himself in the realm of romantic legend.
		While Reitman did his share of fighting for positive social change during his career, he was the very least distinguished of the anarchist physicians of his time.

		Poirier's narrative is memorable for its vivid scenes, colorful characters that include Chicago's "clap doctor," Dr. Ben Reitman, and its account of the heated debate that surrounded the effort.
		In an epilogue, the author discusses similarities between current efforts against AIDS and the handling and politics of the syphilis problem in the late 1930s.
