Among a freshman's disappointments, the worst is often relegation to Claverly. Not that Claverly itself is undesirable.

On the other hand, granting of this seat to the Mao Tse-tung government would have adverse consequences. Communist China has been several times branded an aggressor, and it might weaken U.N. prestige to make this condemned power the only permanent Asian representative on the Security Council, and thus in a sense...
