...vibrance or variety--Soldiers Field Park is not the place. It's an isolated, pretty, impersonal pile of brick, not very conducive to interaction whether internally or with the outside world. The biggest of all the planners' misconceptions is the assumption that Harvard is attractive not because of the interplay among interesting people and things, but because it's fancy and red brick and has a nice view of the river...
...exchanging crumpled lists of life's ingredients in a single kitchen, there's probably not much way of avoiding caricature. On the other hand, the necessity of shifting abruptly from one worker to another in order to let each piece together his neat characterization by installment, and the perpetual interplay of the remaining characters, camped on the edges of your attention, keeps the scene from going stale.

Love, intuition and spirituality help somewhat but we have gotten ourselves into an economic and social interplay of forces which requires some intellectual delicacy and foresight to keep in place. Intellectuals possess substantial powers of reason and ought to be willing to use them in the denser underbrush of a complex society instead of only in its airy reaches...
