...Small Industries Extension Training Institute in Hyderabad and lasted two weeks. Everything in the crash curriculum-including games, written assignments and films-was calculated to correct the self-image of men who saw themselves as pawns rather than agents of change.

...contrast, Paul Hammer, Nailles' fated counterpart, is literally a bastard. "There is some mysterious, genetic principality," Cheever observes, "where the children of anarchy and change are raised." Hammer carries the passport of that principality.

...distressed by the fact that no Harvard students have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Fainsod Committee's Committee as it stands in contrast to Radcliffe's Judicial Board, especially since this Committee on which students sit was created only for this one violation and is not a permanent body. But I am overwhelmed by the fact that no Radcliffe girls have protested. Has everyone forgotten Radcliffe's existence? Just because our deans choose to remain silent, bowing before their suitor, choosing not to become personally involved in the brutal beating of their students, is no reason why we, as students...
