...also claimed that for many people, the highest religious experience can occur through an organized church, in contrast to James' praise of personal experience. The identification with a group helps people face oppression...
...With so much attention paid recently to the status of final clubs at Harvard and students' dissatisfaction with campus social life, the weekend jaunt down I-95 and the Garden State Parkway to central New Jersey provides a startling contrast in elitist--or at least-elitist inspired --fraternizing.

For Zimmerman, technology is not only a tool, but also a subject: the house is nearly dwarfed by two satellite dishes, creating a juxtaposition of homey architecture and lonely telecommunications, all dramatically illuminated with highway and house lights...
