Judge Fang felt dizzy. He was not willing to acknowledge the reality of 
what he saw. He had mentally prepared himself for tonight's meeting with 
Dr. X by reminding himself, over and over, that the Doctor was capable of 
any trickery, that he could not take anything he saw at face value. But as many 
first-time fathers had realized in the delivery room, there was something about 
the sight of an actual baby that focused
the mind. In a world of abstractions, nothing was more concrete than a 
baby.
