...year ago several friends and I came to the same realization. The result was the formation of the L.A.W. Society: Left-Handers Against the World. We would like to mention two other discriminatory practices perpetrated on left-handed students. One is the curse of the spiral notebook, which is bound on the left side. Designed for the comfort and ease of the right-handed person, it is a cause of genuine pain and grief to thousands of students everywhere. The second is the fact that most college desks are made for right-handed people, forcing "lefty" to go into contortions...
...celebrated Augustan calm was genuine marble, but it was a pavement laid over cellars where every violence flourished. Voltaire was cudgeled for his sharp tongue. Dr. Johnson was threatened by an offended duelist. Pope himself had seen his coreligionists, the Roman Catholic gentlemen of northern England, led, bound by halters, through the violent Protestant mobs of London.

Then it's going to be pretty rough surfacing through the ice. One final word: as you move about the ship, please try not to stumble over or stare into the Super Panavision equipment. You men may think it's a nuisance to have a wide-screen camera in such cramped quarters, but it's all part of our real mission-to convince those people...
...major crime whose details are sure to titillate and open the doors to a number of fashionable speculations-about the crime of punishment, about the existence of evil and the nature of man. Working them thematically for all they are worth, Snow has produced a book that is bound to provoke a great deal of reflection-but that is also a very bad novel...
