(The COURT MEMBERS look tensely at BLAKELY.)

BLAKELY. The court wishes to clear up one point. Doctor, is such a thing possible? (Hesitates.) Well, let me put it this way. Let’s say a man with a mild condition is not disabled for all the usual stresses of command. Now let’s say the stresses are multiplied manifold by an extreme emergency. Would there be a tendency to make erroneous judgments?

LUNDEEN. Well, there might be. Extreme stress does that to almost anybody, sir.

BLAKELY. (Sternly) It’s not supposed to do it to commanding officers.

LUNDEEN. No, but practically speaking sir, they’re human, too.

BLAKELY. YOU are not to discuss your testimony outside the courtroom. You’re excused.

LUNDEEN. Yes, sir.

BLAKELY. Thank you, Doctor.
