...number of members of the General Education staff feel that many freshmen have deferred meeting humanities requirements until next year, when Humanities 2 will again be given. Since Hum 2 has a normal enrollment of about 500, a large number of students must be absorbed by other Gen Ed courses. The return of Social Sciences 2 after a year in brackets may also contribute to the rush...
...date of the vote, I will fix it in due course-at the latest, four years after the actual restoration of peace . . . The ensuing period of time will be devoted to resuming normal existence, to emptying the camps and prisons, to permitting the return of exiles, to restoring the free play of individual and public liberties and to enabling the population to become fully aware of what is at stake . . .

Back in Peking with full notebooks, the tunnel-visioned correspondents ticked off what they saw. Lhasa-where 15,000 died in the bloody fighting-was "quite normal."

Then, suntanned and refreshed by their exercise, the correspondents trotted back to their cages...
...Nigeria, a leading export is peanuts. When oil is extracted from peanuts by normal methods, the residue is a rough oil cake, fit only for animals. But a few of Chayen's mechanical cows could digest Nigeria's whole crop, extracting both oil and edible protein. The oil and other byproducts could be exported, earning as much money as exporting the peanuts whole, and the protein could be retained to correct Nigeria's protein-deficient diet. A machine digesting four tons of peanuts per hour would cost only $700,000, and it would supply enough protein...

Such a being certainly seems incapable of having much more of an effect on human life than the normal inhalation of argon. Most of these notions come close enough to Tillich's to be intellectually "shoe," however, and their conformity to the negative doctrines of some of the authorized Judeo-Christian mystics gives them a certain eccentrically orthodox sanction that allows the West's religious tradition to appear superficially unbroken...
