...fleet's admirals deploy the world's largest naval force. The Soviets enjoy clear superiority in attack submarines (253 v. 73), cruisers and destroyers armed with ship-to-ship missiles (40 v. 0) and supply ships (2,358 v. 1,009). The Soviet navy, however, would have trouble rushing troops and planes to intervene in sudden political or military crises far from the U.S.S.R.

In private life, the people who have the jobs most nearly comparable...
Odysseys and Pilgrims' Progresses lead to that knowledge; so, if real, does every coming of age. In the struggle to deploy one's gifts humanely there is often no guidance or material reward, only that scent of tragedy which always attends the decision to find out the truth about oneself, whatever the cost. But we are not so tone-deaf to the classics, I hope, as to have forgotten that in tragedy there is real life of a kind we seldom see at Harvard...
