...That's the whole concept of immigrant labor, that the whole family works," Guizar said. He added that his father could have "followed the fruit," and worked year round, but instead stayed in Gilroy, working 12 hour days nine months of the year, so his children could attend school. Guizar's father never went to school, and his mother had only a fifth-grade education. "For us to gain the education they never had, that was very important to them," Guizar says...
Camus's assumption that "East and West live together" in North Africa is extremely dubious, but his concept of "a Mediterranean culture" is still widely accepted by many Algerians. It is difficult to say whether the survival of this attitude is due to the survival of a colonial mentality or to incipient "embourgeoisiement" which patterns itself after its Western and particularly French counterpart.

One member suggested that every department in the University, where appropriate, should institute programs in some aspects of urban studies, such as urban sociology and urban...
...cold, almost numb quality. Speer writes in a detached, lifeless fashion, as in his observation on coping with prison: "In the past I would have said that I would rather die than live under certain conditions. Now I not only live under these conditions, but am sometimes happy. The concept of 'a live worth living' surely is elastic." If Speer has any deep loves or even small passions, he never mentions them. His references to his wife are typical of his general outlook. He seldom mentions her at all--usually only when she visits him. Oddly, he never refers...
