"Maybe cameras in every breast cancer patient's room is

what we have to do," Ms. Richmond said.

"It would be expensive," Harris warned. "Not only the

cost of the cameras and the installation, but also the additional

personnel to watch the monitors."

"Expense might be an academic concern," Ms. Richmond

said. "If this problem continues and the press gets hold of it,

we might not have an institution."

"I'll look into it," Harris promised.

said. "Don't dilute your efforts at the present time." "Yes, sir," Harris said.

Dr. Mason looked at Ms. Richmond. "Anything else?"

Ms. Richmond shook her head.

Dr. Mason glanced back at Harris. "We're counting on

you," he said.

"Yes, sir," Harris said as he got to his feet. By reflex he

started to salute, but he caught himself in time.
