<strong>Ken</strong> <strong>Kesey</strong> � <strong>one</strong> <strong>flew</strong> <strong>over</strong> <strong>the</strong> cuckoo’s <strong>nest</strong><br />
gets a letter from <strong>the</strong> principal of <strong>the</strong> high school how Maxwell Wilson Taber was an inspirational<br />
figure to <strong>the</strong> youth of our fine community.<br />
Even <strong>the</strong> embalmers, usually a pair of penny-pinching [41] tightwads, are swayed. “Yeah, look at<br />
him <strong>the</strong>re: old Max Taber, he was a good sort. What do you say we use that expensive thirty-weight<br />
at no extra charge to his wife. No, what <strong>the</strong> dickens, let’s make it on <strong>the</strong> house.”<br />
A successful Dismissal like this is a product brings joy to <strong>the</strong> Big Nurse’s heart and speaks good<br />
of her craft and <strong>the</strong> whole industry in general. Everybody’s happy with a Dismissal.<br />
But an Admission is a different story. Even <strong>the</strong> best-behaved Admission is bound to need some<br />
work to swing into routine, and, also, you never can tell when just that certain <strong>one</strong> might come in<br />
who’s free enough to foul things up right and left, really make a hell of a mess and constitute a threat<br />
to <strong>the</strong> whole smoothness of <strong>the</strong> outfit. And, like I explain, <strong>the</strong> Big Nurse gets real put out if anything<br />
keeps her outfit from running smooth.<br />
