...makes the relationship between the Eastern Europeans and the Soviet Union an organic one." The use of the word organic seemed to imply that he was advocating that the Soviet Union and its satellites should form one whole-a position calculated to infuriate not only G.O.P. conservatives but also ethnic groups with roots in Eastern Europe...
...phrases, "ethnic purity," particularly offended many blacks and whites. The episode had overnight become the cause celebre of the campaign and sent the Carter camp reeling. Was this one of those fatal slips that can destroy a candidate? For the first time in what had been a near faultless campaign to reach the White House, the candidate had stumbled badly.

The elaborateness and complexity of the social hierarchy is also reflected in the physical environment by an incredible variety of textures, colors, sensations and gestures that are generated in the process of daily living. Naturally, all attempts at conceptually simplifying, let alone resolving the profusion of currents and conflicts in Indian life seem destined for failure. And yet, occasionally...
