Accordingly, many instructors are accustomed to stipulate the time to be allotted to each part of the examination paper, and personally explain exactly what is expected for each item. But this policy has not been pursued far enough. Week in and week out one hears the oft-repeated complaint that the instructor has expected bread when he but asked for a stone.

Laski, who thinks that to act as Mr. Berger did "is of the essence of citizenship," and that "What we (meaning the English) would almost above all forget is our imprisonment of Bertrand Russell." He compares the intolerance of the United States to that of Germany before the war, and that of Russia...
