...regard on his deathbed by offering her all he is worth. Not too bright, surrounded by the old man's covetous relatives, and wanting only peace and marriage to a weak-willed young man she has fallen in love with, Alberte knows only that she must escape the maze of greed that Threatens to trap her. Refusing her father's money, the young innocent rushes to her lover, who promptly walks out on her when he hears of her incredible folly in spurning a fortune. The book's prevailing color is grey; no touch of humor...
Battle Stations. At Yankee Stadium a mile and a half of cable linked the cameras with NBC's color mobile unit in the street outside. Within the curbstone control room, nine shirtsleeved men were wedged into a maze of apparatus like submariners at battle stations, lit by little more than the flicker of eight TV monitoring screens.

The fire threat is especially prevalent on some of the cluttered, crowded streets in the more run-down areas of the city, notably around Inman Square, but is also applies to the University. Last spring a grease fire broke out in the Lowell House kitchen, and it was only with the greatest amount of sweating...
...taking a course in Christian ethics rather than Dewey's course in pragmatic philosophy. In 1909 he landed at Texas, not only pioneered in the junior college movement but also in the fields of religious and esthetic education. Often caustic, he roundly denounced psychologists ("They have built a maze, mistaken it for the universe and have succeeded only in getting lost in it"), current teaching methods ("There has never been a generation so severed from tradition. They don't even know the lullabies"), once ended a lecture with a one-sentence summary of his own credo: "A little...
