...bedsores or other generally preventable ailments. If the rest of America's 1.6 million nursing-home residents are dying of questionable causes at the same rate as in California, it means that every year about 35,000 Americans are dying prematurely, or in unnecessary pain, or both. The investigations bear out something many Americans have suspected all along: in a recent survey published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 30% of those polled said they would rather perish than live in a nursing home.

Like carpenters and shoemakers, George represents a dying breed of quiet artisanship. And Dave represents the veteran worker who, having devoted himself to perfection on the job, must eventually give way, training his young, flashier female replacement...
