...melting-pot country whose image of the Jew is a hybrid composite of the sex-crazed fantasies of Alexander Portnoy and the excessive mentality of Fiddler on the Roof, Isaac Bashevis Singer is a refreshing breeze of sanity and reality. His stories and novels portary a life which vanished with the thud of German army boots-that of the shtetl, the Eastern European Jewish village. Not surprisingly, many of his simple tales and anecdotes of the old country ring with more authenticity than the slick, cynical products of our modern literati...

He was the principal author of the income-maintenance program that was voted out of the House Ways and Means Cammittee last week and stands an excellent chance of being passed by Congress this session.

It may net $1,000 an acre for the Indians, compared with at most $40 an acre in land farming...
...Hybrid, on the Day he arrived at the Experimental Station, though filled with a gust of evolutionary Passion, and a Dose of Spanish Fly: was blind, like a Bat, and clumsy as an Ox. But so was he let into the Bower of ever-kneeling Nature. And so came Nature to pass - pushing away Hybrid with a Rumble of Discontent - a fullgrown Flarb into the Hands of the astounded Agriculturalists...
