A Thief in the Night

Someone explain the connection between the content in this section and the following quotation:

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." -Aldous Huxley


If you understood this section, then you can explain the purpose of Bradford Hill's list of nine criteria and what that meant in relation to lung cancer.



Favorite line:  "Persuading mice to chain-smoke was obviously unlikely to succeed" (254).


RIP Evarts Graham.  His Bilateral bronchogenic carcinoma snuck up on him "like a thief in the night."

And here is a line that is particularly striking in its relevance to what you will practice with essay writing in AP Lang this year:  " At the end of the essay, Graham wondered about...." Would anyone care to comment about how that line, that piece of a line, goes against much of what you have been taught about essay writing?
