...many second-and third-generation visions for the monolith ever to be reassembled again. The descendants of the 1917 Revolution are mutants, dedicated to making Communism ?their Communism?safe in a world of diversity. It is disturbing that the men in the Kremlin do not understand that, or cannot accept it. In demanding that the parties of the world fall into line, they are virtually guaranteeing that the legacy of Moscow, 1969, will be a Communist world more at odds than ever before...
...next day Brezhnev added the Soviet voice to the anti-Chinese chorus. In a bitter speech the Soviet party boss warned that the Chinese were preparing to start a war and charged that "the damage caused by the breakaway activities of Peking to the common cause of Communists cannot be underestimated." Said he: "The practical activities of Peking in the international arena more and more convince us of the fact that China has actually broken with proletarian internationalism and lost its class Socialist content." It sounded as if the Soviets had decided after all to press on with their original...

Actually, Israel helps our cause by retaliating, for it angers the people and diminishes chances for a peaceful solution, which we cannot accept...
VIRTUALLY every man has experienced pain and therefore knows just how it feels. But he cannot tell anybody else what it is really like. Pain cannot even be precisely defined.

...pained as on the pain. For in most everyday situations, the emotional component is more significant than the underlying sensation. A man getting a penicillin shot knows that "it's for his own good" and accepts the little stab without protest. A four-year-old who cannot grasp this concept will probably scream. The adult will almost certainly make some vocal protest if he is taken unawares, and he may do so at the first touch of the dentist's drill if he has been expecting it to hurt. Both surprise and fearful anticipation are elements in reactions...
