...speakers at the symposium felt that increased urbanization and technology would present new problems. In a paper for the symposium, Bell said, "Such development will bring about a multiplication of psychological pressures on persons, and a widening gap between advanced and less-advanced nations...
...less common that his investigation is multidimensional (i.e., that he indicates the "relevance" of the subject to various other fields, ideological systems, and so on), which is too bad. But this is the realm in which the auditor of the lecture is asked to think for himself, and with which he is made competent to deal by the matter of the lecture and by his prior knowledge (hopefully he has prior knowledge of the dimension he is interested in).

...principal external consumers of the information contained in grades are employers and graduate schools, who need to identify the students they most prefer and the ones they least prefer.

He shows how, when Carranza was overthrown, the remaining Zapatista leaders won pivotal roles in the government of Obregon. The ejido program of the early twenties, which granted previously-claimed land to villages, was a Zapatista victory. The boost given the ejidos by Cárdenas in the thirties nearly satisfied the revolutionary goals of the Morelos villagers...
