Man’s environment attains a high degree of simplifi cation in the modern metropolis. At fi rst this may seem surprising: We normally associate metropolitan life with a diversity of individual types and with variety and subtlety in human relations. But diversity among men and complexity in human relations are social and cultural phenomena. From a biological point of view, the drab, severe metropolitan world of mortar, steel, and machines constitutes a relatively simple environment, and the sharp division of labor developed by the modern urban economy imposes extremely limited, monotonous occupational activities on many of the individuals who make their livelihood in a large city.We are producing a new spectrum of environmental hazards whose full effects still await the passage of time. The trends are not encouraging. “Many diseases that are thought to be associated with, or caused by, air pollution have been increasing over the years,” Prindle writes. “Included amongst these are the respiratory cancers, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and cor pulmonale. (Emphysema is a pulmonary disorder that often leads to corpulmonale, a common form of heart disease. Emphysema has become a major disease in London, ranking third (following heart diseases and cancer) as a cause of death among middle-aged males. The increase in emphysema cases, both in London and Los Angeles, is attributed by many medical authorities to air pollution.) If air pollution continues to increase, one can only conjecture that this rising incidence of disease will continue and that the effect upon the health of the effect of air pollution on the economy, the health, and the welfare of the people may become a disaster.”The effects of air pollution on public health will be diffi cult to judge for many years to come.

If air pollution continues to increase, one can only conjecture that this rising incidence of disease will continue and that the effect upon the health of the nation-and over the technologically-expanding world-may be severely augmented. The overall effect of air pollution on the economy, the health, and the welfare of the people may become a disaster.” The effects of air pollution on public health will be diffi cult to judge for many years to come. A large number of adults straddle two worlds. They were born and raised in communities that have only recently acquired the features of metropolitan life. The early years of their lives were spent in the pre-nuclear age. But it is diffi cult to ignore the portents found in the high incidence of chronic diseases in all age groups of the population.The increase in emphysema cases, both in London and Los Angeles, is attributed by many medical authorities to air pollution.)

Without stopping to explain, Grace seized the lad and

dragged him onto her boat. The boy kicked and screamed

and tried to bite, but she was more than a match for him.

She used an old rope to bind his arms and legs, and a ker-

chief to gag him. Now she had a hostage that would bring

the Lord of Howth to his senses! Swiftly and silently, Grace

and her men sailed out of the harbor. They kept sailing right

through the night until they came to Clare Island Castle, the

O’Malleys’ stronghold.

The poor servant scuttled nervously back to the front

door. He knew how dangerous Grace could be. He had even

heard a rumor that she slept with a rope that led from her

favorite ship to her big toe. In the event of any trouble, a pull

on the rope would bring her running. So he stood well back

from the gates and called out:

Then she spun around on her heels and led her crew

back down to the harbor. Through the half-light, she could

see a young boy dragging his boat onto the beach, alongside

her own. Grace stopped in her tracks.

“Who are you?” she demanded.

“I live here,” the boy answered simply. “This is my

father’s castle. Who are you?”

“I’m sorry, Mistress Grace. My master says that he is

too busy to see you. Can you come another time perhaps?”

“Another time? Doesn’t he know that it’s pouring

rain? What’s he doing that’s so important? Has he forgotten

the rule of hospitality?”

Even with the gate between them, the servant was so

scared that he blurted out the truth:

“He’s in the middle of his dinner, Miss. He says he

wants to enjoy it in peace and quiet.”

“He’s having a meal!” Grace roared back. “And he

won’t share it! Well, he may live to regret it!”
