"The B.I.S.," says Economist Robert Triffin, Yale's famed international monetary expert, "is partly a country club and partly a church-to maintain the dogma of central-bank independence from governments...
...seemed at first a pedestrian case ambling toward a predictable conclusion. An obscure physician from Brooklyn, drafted into the Army and clearly a military misfit, was haled before a general court-martial, charged with preaching antiwar dogma to enlisted men and refusing to teach them dermatology as he had been ordered.

She is a trouble-shooter, spending time in cities where the sales are down and managing institutes which open in big important cities for the first few weeks. It is her duty to instill in students a blind unquestioning faith in the party dogma. When a student told Mrs. Wood during the first lesson that she doubted she would ever read very fast, Mrs. Wood admonished her with "young lady, if there is any doubt in your mind about ultimate success, I promise you that you will fail. You must have perfect confidence...
