Excerpt
From Chapter 13. "Eduardo is being treated for delusions of grandeur," answered Boyd. "Sometimes he thinks he's Napoleon and dresses up in royalty attire. He can't carry a sword, though he has asked us to provide him one. Once in a while he thinks he's Adolph Hitler and even submitted a letter to the administrator asking for a list of the Jewish patients that are hospitalized here. Eduardo is harmless and all of the patients enjoy his antics and outlandish sense of humor."
