...himself was still among the missing pieces. To complicate matters, the citizens of Sperlonga were trying to keep the fragments in home ground. Thinking of tourist-trade possibilities, they rolled a five-ton rock before the cave entrance, dug a moat to frustrate approaching trucks. Still, having logic, culture and Cops all on his side, Jacopi was determined to get the entire cave excavated and the fragments transported to Rome, where they can be expertly examined and reassembled to determine whether they are, indeed, the original Laoco...

The round-table discussions may start as one did last week, high in the abstractions of Aristotelian logic, and plunge hotly down into a labor-management debate on productivity. Executives are encouraged to express their views vigorously, apply the ideas culled from their readings to the present world of business and politics. Discussions often run over into the exercise room or into the sauna (Finnish bath), where Philosopher Adler...
