...imagine the great master, sitting in his apartment in Craigie Circle here in Cambridge, standing up at a lectern as he always did, writing on a summer night with the moths at the window, then looking at his son Dmitri, whom he had saved from the Nazis in his own flight from wartime France, whose future he foresaw, whose childhood he shaped into a memory of joy. Then, blinded by tears at his own creation, the great Russian humanist rescues his Krug, since David's death is not to be borne...

It features a female physician looking as concerned as Rosehill's son did. "We need to stop them before they get to a woman's right to choose," the doctor says.
