...obedience, which often prevents kids from learning the consequences of their own choices. Even so, the teachers also shun the pure permissiveness that says if a child is allowed to goof off long enough, he will decide for himself that work is more satisfying. The resulting hybrid might be called "permissipline...
...Austro-Hungarian Empire put a salvationist mark on Israel "as indelible," Elon suggests, "as that imprinted by the Pilgrim Fathers in the early stages of the American Republic." Counting 102 countries of origin for the 2,500,000 Israelis in 1970, the author writes: "Ethnically, Israelis may be a hybrid; as political creatures, they are children of 19th century Europe."

...into the inimitable Boz opens the way to a shrewd, wide-ranging analysis of Dickens' life and work. The result is the best all-round book on the subject for the general reader in years. Absorbing, gracefully written, freshly thought out, it is, in addition, that rare hybrid, a coffee-table book with both brains and beauty. The glossy pages are strewn with well-selected (though skimpily captioned) illustrations that vividly reflect the squalor and especially the sentiment of 19th century England...
