...glad my kids are too young to read your article. They think their daddy likes to make sick people well, that he's willing to take care of them whether they can pay or not, that he gets home late because he spent a lot of "unprofitable" time reassuring other mommies and daddies that their kids will get well, and that he can't go to the P.T.A. meeting because he's "too far behind in his journals." They think medicine is a noble way that their daddy earns a living, and that the Holy Cross Hospital...
Proof Needed.

Change was the shallowest of facades, mostly visible as ruin. A "cardboard democracy" allowed Communists and Christian Democrats to succeed one another monotonously in the mayor's office...
Talking Before Walking. Haldane fittingly began life as a prodigy. The son of an Oxford physiologist, he could read and talk almost before he could walk. It is said that once, when the talented toddler fell and cut his forehead, he inspected the blood with detachment and asked: "Is it oxyhemoglobin or carboxyhemoglobin?" At Eton, Haldane was regularly beaten by senior boys. But by the time he left school, he could read Latin and Greek, French and German, and, as he observed with matter-of-fact pride, "I knew enough chemistry to take part in research, enough biology...
