...sentence startled me: "Certainly, police should not be responsible for carting drunks to jail-one-third of all arrests." I am wondering what you propose to do with the drunks? Leave them lie to be rolled by other nighttime characters? Leave them lie to become sick? Leave them lie as an unsightly and disgusting sight for sober citizens?

A fine example comes in one of the very first scenes when Orgon, the master of the house, returns from a business trip and asks the maid, Dorine, what has happened during his absence. She answers that his wife has been sick, indeed had to be bled. But Orgon is interested only in hearing about Tartuffe, the religious man he has gathered into his home. There is a wonderful, almost song-like exchange between the two as Dorine tells of her mistress' suffering, and Orgon answers over and over with the refrain "What...
