...That ambitious I haven't been." Born Goldie Mabovitch in Kiev, she was eight when her family emigrated to Milwaukee and a willful 14 when she ran away to join a sister in Denver, until her parents surrendered and agreed to let her study to be a schoolteacher. Except for a stint of teaching in folk schulen, or Yiddish folk schools, she never fulfilled that ambition. Instead, she joined the Labor Zionist movement as an enthusiastic, full-time worker. At 23, she embarked for riot-torn Palestine with a reluctant non-Zionist husband, Morris Myerson, spent two years...

Who can teach about the Cultural Revolution in China better than a man who spent two years in China in the midst...
...English very, very smoothly and easily and 2) at the earliest possible point, not teaching it as English, but teaching it as the necessary vehicle of modern world views! That's the thing I care about most. You don't want to teach a language just as a language (except to linguisticians). You should use it as a means for letting people learn what they most need to learn, which is how to run a sane state and how to run an educational system which will keep the state sane and in being. And cope too with the frustrations...
