...stop this tragic cycle, park authorities tried importing four zoo-bred wolves. But they preferred living on human handouts, and had to be sent back to the zoo. Eventually, wild wolves from Canada crossed on the ice. Purdue and Park Service biologists, some of whom have braved the island's fierce and lonely winter to study the working of nature's balance, report that the wolves' system is to cut a single moose out of a herd and keep nipping at him day after day until he weakens. Sometimes it takes a week. In crusted snow that...
...quite prepared," said Opposition Leader Stewart Aitken-Cade, "to snatch weapons from the Communists and use them against them. If undemocratic methods are necessary, I will be the least democratic of all.'' The honorable members rapped their desks in well-bred applause, then began debating a drastic series of bills to slap down the blacks even harder.

Some of the kazoku (noble) families make no secret of their chagrin that their own blue-blooded daughters were passed over as a bride for the crown prince. A court lady angrily describes Michiko Shoda as "that little upstart." Recently, as a guest at an exclusive...
...There had been bred within this painter," says Sellers, "a call to the lofty and obscure and an artist's sensitive pride. He had seen from within himself what held the sun and stars and planets in their courses, but could not find his way and purposes among the nearer things. He had to have, somewhere in the world, a place of perfection of his own, though it should be only the little one of laughter, of surprise, only the illusion of fruit upon a table rich with the juices of summer...
