...ruling was handed down in the case of Dr. Nader Soliman, a self-employed anesthesiologist who spent 10 to 15 hours a week working out of the spare bedroom of his home in McLean, Virginia. Soliman also worked a total of 30 to 35 hours each week in three hospitals. But the irs denied him a $2,500 tax deduction because it determined that his home office was not his "principal place of business." The ruling was roundly criticized by small businesses, some members of Congress and, appropriately, the National Association for the Cottage Industry...

Another way of putting it is that he tries his best to follow his family's tradition of quietism and indifference to large events. But Holland is a small country, and it is impossible to escape from people who are part of his past. If he will not pursue the evidence that will help explain his life's crucial occurrence, the evidence, as it turns out, will pursue him. Like the furies, the facts are inescapable...
