Move & Breathe. No one, not even the most discontented (and never the author), questions the aims of the Organization. The real difficulty is to move and breathe as an individual in the organizational maze. Not all are gifted with the ability of Miss Bass, who can be indifferent to associates but finds "it easy and even gratifying to direct fraternal feelings towards large numbers of people living at great distances." Mild staff cynicism naturally accompanies a search for a man to fill a job; he "must walk the middle path-a man of middle years and middle brow was wanted...
...sequiturs, three-two, one game all. The game at Elsinore is more ominous. Seen through Hamlet's eyes, which is the angle of vision Shakespeare has imposed on Hamlet, the play has a purpose.

But starting in 1860, many states outlawed abortion before as well as after quickening. New Hampshire, for example, bans hospital abortion before quickening, even to save a dying woman. The legal maze is extraordinary. In 17 states, unjustified abortion is a felony that carries sentences ranging up to 21 years. In some states, the woman herself can be charged (but seldom is) for cooperating in the abortion...
