...before the pain begins to be extreme, the mix is given in relatively small quantities at various intervals around the clock. This helps allay the fear of pain and reduces the amount of drugging necessary to control it. One desired result: to keep the patient's mind as clear as possible...
...personal records, he told Cavanagh, and see how long it took the Internal Revenue Service to cash your quarterly income tax check. Cavanagh discovered to his astonishment that it had taken 22 days. Granquist had made his point, and soon after that Cavanagh joined him at OMB with a clear mission: help the Government recoup some of the many millions of dollars it wastes annually through sloppy cash management...
What that culture was like remains an enigma. What, for instance, is the significance of the Venus figures, with their exaggerated sexual features? What role did the great cave paintings play in the lives of those ancient people? Whatever the answers, it is clear the art is exceptionally complex, more than simple "hunting magic," as some turn-of-the-century scholars thought.

Every controversy discussed has two sides whose respective merits are duly presented but seldom weighed. The book is a tribute to the achievements won by higher education, rather than a critical study of education during this period...
