...smart varmint, but I can't share the professor's love for him. The Western ranges have to carry several million head of cattle and sheep as well as antelope, deer and elk. We simply don't have enough grass to produce meat for America, ERP, and the coyotes that range all over the West . . . J. McK. PARDEE Secretary...
...freshmen, nothing short of a torpedo can stop them from winning. Coach Harvey Love has developed the best yearling boat in many a season. In fact, they are good enough to have defeated their own varsity in time trials, something unprecedented in rowing circles...

In the torture chambers of the Ministry of Love he discovers how refined totalitarian dogma has become since the primitive days of Hitler and Stalin. No longer do party leaders pretend that they seized power for idealistic reasons and in the hope of creating a better world. Power is now frankly an end in itself. "God is power," explains...
