...Arithmetic. Inside the four octagonal, glass-sided buildings, classes are in session: arithmetic is cutting up an apple pie and observing how it disappears as it is eaten. The children may lie on the floor and chat with each other while the teacher recites the lesson and, if even that bores them, they are free to wander outside to play among the jungle gyms, the playboats and sandboxes, the swings and the barbecue pit. If a teacher asks for a composition, she is the one who gets out the pad and pencil; the student will dictate...
...asks himself: "Is a man born only to make money?" In an episode of shuddery weirdness and God-haunted irony, the sanctimonious serpent (Pavel Tarasov) who serves as the hero's guardian, glassily indifferent to the vast icon of Christ that looms behind him, replies: "Eat or be eaten.

"Why," he wonders, "did you share the bird with me?" Macario grins a sly peasant grin. "When you appear, there is no time left. I figured that while you ate your half I'd have time to eat mine...
...Nazis. After the war, Aragon became anchor man on the French Communists' intellectual first team. Unlike fellow Communist Jean Paul Sartre-who has often strayed off the Red reservation-Aragon has dutifully echoed the party line, served on Stalin Prize committees, edited party papers, written party poems and eaten party crow...
