A huge banner hangs outside announcing “Cancer Is Conquered.” It is always a good idea to be skeptical of premature declarations of “Mission accomplished.” But the hospital PR people and Norman Baker, the self-proclaimed genius and director, are confident and contemptuous of treatments for cancer other than theirs.

The 2020 census counted fewer residents than a typical school bus can carry twice over, which makes every detail here easy to notice.
