...Prospective students, who are most often from the zealous areas of each sect, may come in greater numbers to a divinity school which is considered "safe"--one that will not disturb the beliefs they absorbed as children. "Committed men" are a kind of guarantee of "safety...
...such inequalities, as well as the needs of the untended poor, the spiritual indifference of the older inhabitants to new sacrifices, and their unwillingness to populate and plant the open spaces, that most disturb Ben-Gurion as he surveys his country.

I closed myself within myself purposely...

The decision as to whether a patient can be admitted and effectively treated is made not on the basis of a diagnostic label, but on whether he or she is too disturbed, and thus likely to disturb others. Though the sexes are mixed deliberately-Dr. Cameron wants the inside of the hospital to resemble the outside world as far as possible-sex causes no trouble. Only exception in the memory of the present staff: a schizophrenic prostitute who was homosexual during psychotic episodes...
