...those "ill-trained, ill-paid guards who are so concerned with security that treatment staffs can barely function," I object to your implication that the custodial function is antithetic to the good cause of social rehabilitation. Most criminal psychologists agree that a "sense of being punished" is a necessary precedent to true rehabilitation. In view of the trend to establish "country club" prisons, the only way the felon can gain a sense of punishment is by frequent sight of uniformed "keepers."

Banging down a tray of bulbs on her worktable, she declares: "Now this is a rather ratty object, a relative of the onion called tritelia. It's really not worth the trouble of growing, but some people do, so I have to show it to you." She talks about cow dung as if it were French perfume, condemns tinfoil wrapping as "a crime against a blooming plant...
