...impossible to live in China for five years without picking up many Chinese social values. Waste of any kind is one of the worst sins there; math problems frequently take the form: "If every Chinese wasted one grain of rice each day and each grain of rice weighs one gram...." I learned to write on both sides of scratch paper before throwing it away and to use pencils until I could barely hold them. We always ate everything off our plates including the crust of rice around the edge of a bowl...
Satisfying No One. None of the whimpering defendants denied their deeds. They merely maintained they were following doctors' orders, faced punishment if they refused, and did not realize the gravity of their offense.

...Robert McNamara made an expensive mistake when he insisted on a single basic plane for both Air Force and Navy, the General Dynamics-Grumman partnership that was chosen for the job has managed to match both versions of their fighter to an astonishing degree. The F-111 construction pro gram is not only meeting a tight schedule that was set when the contract was signed two years ago, it is also running below its estimated cost...
