...questionable whether any university is preparation for the world outside the academic cloister in the sense that it simulates the "real" world for the student. The concept of living in a community of scholars dedicated to the pursuit of learning and most of whom are very much the same age (young) is not a "natural" situation. Once a student enters the world outside college he must earn a living in an environment of people of all ages and backgrounds...

"On the Temptation to Be a Beautiful Object," "Sex Roles...
...about the twenty-first century: but it's no guided tour. Reading it is like grappling with a huge primary source. You can walk around and hear what the people are saying: Hitripping, Yaginol, muckers, yonderboys, Shalmaneser, Yatakang, Engrelay satelsery. Mr. and Mrs. Everywhere, the shiggie circuit, the Too Much strain . . . whatinole are these people talking about? Nobody's going to tell you, codder. You have to figure...
