...Today, the humanists are still holding strong despite the tendency of the scientists to swamp them. One is now informally attending the Law School to get background for medieval constitutional history. Another is trying to make some "connections between psychoanalytic theory, existentionalism, and currents in modern theological thought." An archeologist in the Near East, interested in Iranian archeology, is anxiously watching that country's political situation, while biologists are contemplating the morphology of ferns, or gathering ants for study in the methods of social and organic evolution. The ant biologist has already a remarkable number of specimens, but, unsatisfied...

Fond of her and desperately hoping, he marries Marcelline; but North Africa, where homosexuality is rife, quickly complicates rather than resolves their problem. Michel succumbs, while the anguished, wholly disillusioned and half-deserted Marcelline takes to drink. Finding she is pregnant, she leaves Michel and goes back to France. He follows her there, and partly because of their coming child, partly because they are both so lost, they decide to remain together, clutching wildly...
