...capital and to the manpower of Europe and Africa helped to expand its wealth. The opening of the West spurred the pioneering spirit of adventure, assertion and toughness. Would America be what it is without the caliber of its women-not only the work they did but the manner in which they sustained the family? Now they have lit the flame of equal rights, which must be a part of the desire of all weaker groups to establish their own identity, a prerequisite for a better humanity. Black Americans have steered through years of humiliation and sufferings with a sense...
...December. If all goes well, elections for the legislature will be held by next summer. The first task of the two houses will be to draw up a new constitution that presumably will define the rights of the King, the specific powers of the two houses and the manner in which a Premier is chosen and dismissed...

Stephanie, in her interminable conversations with a hip Jesuit friend, rhapsodizes about her yearning for freedom. Yet every time he suggests that she take a real step towards it, she lapses into a whining refrain about how tough it is for women. By this time, of course, one has completely lost interest in any of the things Stephanie is searching for; it becomes increasingly hard to believe that what she wants can be worth...
