...able to make as many as 100 visual "fixes" per minute on his instrument panel during his busiest moments-the landing approach. He must take extra precautions to keep his health during a long flight; pilots and copilots take their meals at alternate times; American Airlines forbids crews to eat seafood because of its perishability...
...Duerrenmatt's Court of the Unconscious would escape whipping; in the unconscious of the very men who stage the trials there may lurk as much blood lust as love of law.

Yet the Innocent finds it farcical: on one hand, the great humanist waddles down to feed his face at a staff dinner once a year; on the other, the famous writer-professor who comes to the dining hall and surmounts all to say "may I join you?" to two students, sits down, and finds himself at an empty table looking at their departing backs...
