...President to the lowliest felon, the nation wants a humane system that truly curbs crime. This is the year of the prisons, the year when Congress may double federal spending (to $300 million) to spur local reform, the year when something may finally get clone and Americans may well heed Dostoevsky's goading words...
...parsley root and multiplier onions but for meaning, personal identity and love-the sort of things the Nearings could take for granted in 1932. If they find what they are looking for, the discovery could help redeem the country. In the meantime they could do worse than heed the word from Cold Comfort Farm: Keep your compost wet.

He followed to the letter the seppuku, the traditional samurai form of suicide sometimes called harakiri. Probing the left side of his abdomen, he put the ceremonial dagger in place, then thrust it deep into his flesh. Standing behind him, Masakatsu Morita, 25, one of his most devoted followers, raised his sword and with one stroke sent Mishima's severed head rolling...
