...pleased to see his former students succeed. At diplomatic receptions, he enjoys greeting foreign officials as "my old student." He must have been especially delighted at the opening of last year's Middle East peace conference in Geneva, where Tahseen Basheer was the Egyptian spokesman and his Israeli counterpart was Meron Medzini. Both are Kissinger alumni...
...novel The Circus of Dr. Lao, Frank Tull was considered to be, at most, the product of a fertile imagination. Yet, less than 40 years later, the concept of semi-artificial man no longer seems as farfetched. Though modern medicine has yet to produce a real-life counterpart of television's Six Million Dollar Man* it has developed workable replacements for many important body parts, and is steadily moving toward the day when hospitals may well have to follow the lead of auto-repair shops and add spare parts departments to their facilities...

Mannucci uses most of his guile and gall to manufacture evidence. But his atavistic instincts are intact...
...however, escape the suspicion that the remarkable degree of independence permitted them as instructors might be equally a matter of indifference as of conscious educational strategy, and that whatever freedom and security allowed them as teaching fellows, they find no counterpart in salary--their lives being bound on one side by a persistent and increasingly insistent financial insecurity and on the other by the spectre of unemployment...
