...view Moholy within the limits of his paintings and constructions is to see but one aspect of an immensely versatile personality. Some of his more visionary notions were industrial designs-an engine fueled by sunlight, a motorless dishwasher, an infra-red oven that would cook dinner at the table. The creation of beautiful objects per se was never his intent. "I don't like the word beauty," he often declared. "Utility and emotion and satisfaction, those are more important words."

Moreover, the Sinkiang Uighur Autonomous Region, as it is officially called, is two-thirds populated by Kazakh peoples, many of whom resent Chinese rule...
...those who went on strike to re-structure Harvard were mainly concerned with this simple problem, but it is easily overlooked when compared to all the other questions in the wide range of the committee's concerns. A review of the situation suggests, though, that the emphasis given this aspect of Harvard's governance during the emotional period after the bust was well placed...
