SECRETARY Bennett, however, believes that the way to prepare this country's youth for the future is to focus them on their own past. Bennett's concepts would nourish isolationism in American students, creating a inherent bias towards Western thought and an ignorance of other cultures. Unfortunately, his position as Secretary of Education provides a podium for his reactionary plans regarding higher learning, where Bennett displays the two distinguishing trademarks of his time in office: abject denial of facts and paranoid political conservatism...

U.N. officials say that for the moment there are no permanent feeding camps, where...

Itami sees nothing wrong with wild pleasure-hunting as long as the original purpose of such a pursuit--man's need to nourish himself--is not forgotten; in short, hedonism with sense. When this is forgotten, pleasure crosses the fine line into perversion...
