That sentiment is mild compared with some of today's reviews. Doctor bashing has become a blood sport. To judge by the popular press, which generally lacks Shaw's subtlety, too many physicians who are not magicians are charlatans.

Now they asked the 84-year-old craftsman if he could re-create the collection, nearly all of which was lost in the fire. Any other octogenarian might have hesitated, but not Nakashima.
