In his preface, he declares himself against imposing "any full blown psychological theory" on Reed's life and says he will instead use "my own understanding of how and why men act." What this "understanding" consists of, however, is never elaborated. Rosenstone is content to make vague generalizations about "men of Reed's generation" and "the nature of modern society...
...session. The ambitious document may well provide the guidelines for more than a decade of negotiations on the world's economic problems.

...learn that the country had some 10,000 trained earthquake specialists (more than ten times the American total). They were operating 17 major observation centers, which in turn receive data from 250 seismic stations and 5,000 observation points (some of which are simply wells where the radon content of water is measured). In addition, thousands of dedicated amateurs, mainly high school students, regularly collect earthquake data...
