Prohibition: govt adds poison to rubbing alcohol . . . result is death of the poor who can't get real alcohol from Europe. Electro-shock therapy used, even on children. LSD used before Leary. Women doctors have a better chance, as do Jews. Cardiac catheterization leads to Nobel Prize for doctor at Bellevue. Just moving into AIDS epidemic.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
