...that such a society places profit before people. Among the examples cited by SftP are: attempts to cure cancer through recombinant DNA research rather than by eliminating carcinogens from the environment; screening factory workers for genetic susceptibility to tungsten-caused cancer rather than eliminating the hazard; pinning the blame for deviant behavior and widespread social ills on the genes of individuals rather than on the structure of society...
...tempestuous putrid, poor, Gaelic and traditional." The "distinguishing marks of the true Gael" emerge more slowly out of the humour of the story.

Boston seemed to blame temporary insanity, dating the onset from 1922, when he quit his job with the Morgan bank in Paris, took up the literary life there and renamed his wife, Polly Peabody, "Caresse." His writer friends-he knew Hart Crane, Ernest Hemingway, Archibald MacLeish, Kay Boyle-were not surprised by the toenail paint or the tattoos. Harry did that sort of thing. What did raise an eyebrow or two, briefly, was the suicide. It seemed that Harry meant what he had said...
