Many of the poor urban whites' children hang out, sullen and sledge-fisted, at places like "The Lunch Pail," a tawdry dive on Chicago's seamy North Side; many become winos, staggering along the hallways in search of a corner to crumple up in. There are 30,000 Appalachians in the North Side area, a melting pot of penury composed of 10,000 Indians, 5,000 Puerto Ricans and Mexicans, and a smattering of Eskimos and Cuban refugees...

Sweden's Dr. Hydén felt that the creation of protein (as in pigeons, rats and goldfish) is essential to man's formation of long-term memories.

A show which propels an audience from the insular range of Cambridge to the vast expanses of history and world politics, only to pull that audience back again, from the conference table at Paris to lunch at the University Restaurant, is relying on contrast for its most important effects. And the juxtapositions of Cambridge and the world in White Sale produce a profound and remarkable effect. They manage to cut both ways, to demonstrate what is distortive about the habits of mind which add up to Cambridge...
