Jeff and other fellow TIPSters - The article _is_ interesting. I wish it were a bit better referenced. Do you know which of Roy Porter's histories Gail Hornstein means? I'd guess that it is either "The Greatest Benefit to Mankind" or "Bodies Politic: Disease, Death and Doctors in Britain 1650-1900," but I haven't read either book yet, and there seem to be quite a number of others...
One reviewer comments about Porter: "He has written about a dozen books in roughly as many years, some of them massive. They are all ferociously learned yet utterly readable, and he hardly ever repeats himself as far as I can see. How the hell does he do it?"
