...imagine that doctors don't get sick. Surely the hygienic shield of the sterile white coat guards them from ever having to put on the flapping gown and flimsy bracelet, climb meekly into the crisp bed and be at the mercy of the U.S. health-care system. And if somehow they did enter the hospital as a patient, physicians ought to have every advantage: an insider's knowledge, access to top specialists, built-in second opinions, no waiting, no insane bureaucratic battles and no loss of identity or dignity when you turn into the "bilateral mastectomy in Room...

His family is coming apart, he somehow senses, as is the country around him (it's the year of the Falklands War and Maggie Thatcher's unexpected revolution). One part of him leans toward knowingness, but the rest is mired in a child's supercharged universe of witches and spirits and "Ghosts of Might...
