Seeking the Mythical Future (1977)
“‘Where’s your training, old man? Approach the thing logikally and there shouldn’t be any problem.’ Then he had the gall to smile.
His smile, his confidence, his smugness, his height – above all, his height – infuriated Dr Mathew Black. He was even more incensed to learn that Benson had been sent as Special Envoy, appointed by King’s Commission, to review the screening procedure at Psy-Con. Benson had been nothing in the sanatorium, nothing, a mere pip-squeak, a jackanapes, and here he was, with... power and overall responsibility handed to him on a plate. While he, Black, had been saddled with a babbling madman fit only for the High Intensity Complex. He felt like murdering them both.
‘I suppose you would have disposed of the patient and filed your report by now.’ ‘You’ve had weeks, old chap,’ Benson said, raising his eyebrows yet retaining a trace of a smile. ‘The MDA were generous enough to permit an extension, but even that doesn’t appear to have satisfied you.’ He added as an afterthought, ‘And that’s something else the Authority will have to answer for.’ There had been another purge.MoreLess
