Christine Jorgensen, making the rounds as a nightclub entertainer, had a confidential word to say in Atlantic City: "When I get married it will be in Europe. An American man would think it a reflection on his masculinity to marry me. Europeans don't care about their masculinity...
Lost Proportions. The Payne Whitney Clinic* does not ordinarily accept patients who appear incurable (and whose care most often must devolve upon state hospitals), though a few may be admitted for study or special treatment. It is devoted in the main to intensive, hopeful treatment of the curable, as "curable" can be defined at this stage of psychiatric progress. Payne Whitney's achievement scores, like its methods of treatment, are typical of the institutions in its class: each year, with an average of 225 admissions, it discharges about 150 patients as recovered or substantially improved.

...Camp Three paid heavily for their "hostile attitude." They had almost no medical care, and their food was bad and wormy.

Artist Roy, trained at Calcutta's Government School of Art, spent 15 years as a successful dauber of polite European-type landscapes that looked good in the best Indian homes. Then, at the age of 34, he got bored and decided to look at his country again through Indian eyes. Going back to the villages of his native Bengal, he learned about local folklore...
