The following comments have been left for this page:
If you actually *read* The Hospital, you will learn that the de Hartogs did NOT have to leave Houston, since the book did NOT lead to the hostility described in the article. In fact, Marjorie de Hartog, now 73 years old, still lives near me in Houston.
Also, Mrs. de Hartog is referred to as "non-Dutch" in the article. She is, more precisely, English-born. (Again, this fact is stated several times in The Hospital.)
If you have any doubt as to the veracity of these statements, just just call or e-mail the University of Houston M.D. Anderson Library (Special Collections department), where all of Mr. de Hartog's writings are kept.
Thank you. (edit)

[edit] Follow Up
Jan De Hartog and his wife left Houston due to numerous anonymous threats, but then many years later, returned to Houston to live-out the rest of his days there. (He was my uncle) I don't know how to add that info to the main page, so I figured I'd leave the info here for someone else to add.
Personally, I'm curious about the book being released in September of 2007, considering he died in 2002. 65.32.68.195 23:10, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
