...Ford, only Governors Ronald Reagan of California and Nelson Rockefeller of New York. In opposite wings of the party, both Reagan and Rockefeller might have won confirmation with little difficulty, but Nixon rightly judged that choosing either would give him a head start toward the 1976 nomination that both crave and thus sunder an already Watergate-weakened minority party. That problem does not exist with Ford. After his selection, the minority leader declared: "I have no intention of being a candidate for President or Vice President in 1976." He may change his mind, but his current plan is to retire...
...sound theory that humanity craves mobility, the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in Manhattan is staging a show called "Portable World." No gypsy could crave more items that can be folded out, inflated, worn or comfortably toted. "Body extensions"-notions to be worn by people on the move-include the "Toot-a-Loop" radio, which twists around the arm like a snake.

Third, in a situation where many persons crave children, to dispose of this intense locus of value without consideration of this is itself an evil...
...words sing, the ideas go off like fireworks. It is like a great parliamentary debate in which the members orate arias with the omnipresent Shaw in the Speaker's chair. Behind it all is Shaw's master paradox: that hell is the kind of heaven most people crave, with the devil as a genial host offering comfort and the best of company. But heaven is for the ardent, soldierly few, driven by divine discontent and the life force, who see man only as an unending bridge to his better self...
