...piece of pie to a child with a temperature of 104.5°; 2) a nurse who gave baths, accompanied by vigorous twisting and mauling, to a man with a fractured skull; 3) a nurse who thought that three one-quarter grain tablets of morphine made up a prescribed dose of one-twelfth grain...
What Chinese officialdom needed, the Generalissimo & Mme Chiang had decided, was a big dose of the castor oil of Puritanism. The tablespoon with which they dished this out they called the New Life Movement, and with every ounce of Nanking's authority they dosed all China.
