It's only just starting to sink in.

They thought we were mad. It was against all the medical teaching, but we had the evidence. We just had to keep pushing it and pushing it.

Don't ask me why nobody saw them before. My feeling is that nobody thought they were there. Standard medical teaching at the time was that there were no bacteria in the gut.

One of the standard teachings in medicine was nothing grew in the stomach. That was something that was being taught to students for 100 years.

It seems almost like America wants their boys hurt. That they need that. That guy who writes books about the wolf and the boy: every book has a scene where the kid gets caught in an avalanche or a freak blizzard. Invariably, the kid winds up naked and alone and bleeding to death and it's only the effort of the wolf that saves him. The boy can never do it himself. If they did that with a female character in a long set of books like that, the feminists would be up in arms. But does anyone mind it when it's a little boy?

Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow, Filling the sky and earth below, Over the housetops, over the street, Over the heads of the people you meet. Dancing, Flirting, Skimming along.
