...colleagues of the Anti-locust Research Center have discovered that the movements of man's ancient enemy have an intimate connection with meteorology. Locusts need rain, and the desert vegetation that rain encourages, before they can breed into black swarms. When the desert bursts into sudden bloom, the locust hordes multiply swiftly. And when they have devoured the thin vegetation, they migrate downwind to bring devastation to the nearest green land...
...Room for Bloom. The new way, geared to individual differences, is to banish formal grades and group children according to performance. Instead of grades one to six.

From the lobby, they cut the room's vast elongation without removing an inch of space. From the first balcony, they explode like flowers suddenly bursting into bloom. Higher up, the slender wires attract attention: hundreds of cats' cradles that seem to have the delicacy of spiders' webs. The sculptures weigh a total of five tons, but they seem to keep afloat through some inner power of their...
