...next two groups of essays, Nuptials (1938) and Summer (1954), Camus' ideas about how to combat life's absurdities deepen as he faces the dark despondency he finds in Europe. Like a fallen angel, he keeps looking homeward for the revitalizing sensual graces of Algeria. And in these journeys are intimations of the ideas in his future writings. In the heavy stone city of Oran, he finds a refreshing boredom in the ordinary down-to-earth commercialism that appears as the setting for his later novel, The Plague. Among the flowers and ruins at Tipasa, Camus discovers that...
Counting on the Neighbors. In addition to its pipeline project, Egypt had originally intended to widen and deepen the Suez Canal-which could previously accommodate fully laden tankers no bigger than 70,000 tons-to handle those in the 200,000-ton range. But many of the new supertankers are 250, 000 tons or more. Moreover, if and when the canal opens, the oil producers would probably find it cheaper to pipe oil to the Mediterranean than to sail through Suez and pay its heavy tolls. Using a pipeline would result in even more savings compared with the cost...

No, this dialogue merely suggests the too easily forgotten gap between what a person says and what he is. Nothing Anastasia could say would do credit to her presence; thankfully, she says nothing...
...understanding without respect can be undermining. Even today, much of what passes for "counseling" of adolescents ends up short-curcuiting adolescence by undercutting the questioning, rebellion, and search that should accompany adolescent experience. As more adequate "special help" becomes available for American youth, that help must seek to intensify, deepen, and in many cases, prolong adolescence, rather than simply to hasten the passage to adulthood...
