...smallness by king-size feuds over their indefinite boundaries. There has been no end of dagger duels between the inhabitants of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, but last week delegations from both met in a cluster of mud huts on their mutual borders.

If a patient cannot be on his own after three years at Wellmet, the group tries to make other arrangements for him in a family care home, the city infirmary, or a place for disabled people.
