...Good Old George. But on such a day, few got seriously worked up about that matter. Irish tempers, in fact, had simmered down a good deal since the old days. It might even happen, now that they had got rid of the Black & Tans for good, that the Irish might get to be friends with the British. To his former subjects, the King sent a touching message. "I pray that every blessing may be with you today and in the future," said His Majesty. "God Save the King" sang Anne Maggie Crowley, a Dublin newsvendor, as she elbowed...

When a new patient arrives, often in a straitjacket, Brand has a technique: "I give them a good talking to. 'This is your home,' I tell them. 'It's up to you if you are going to have a new life.' Most of them really understand me. Not one has ever tried to strike me." But even if patients should hit an attendant, Brand...
