...fifth of the American crop. India has always seemed to be dismaying proof of the Malthusian thesis that the world's population must inevitably increase at a faster rate than its ability to sustain itself. As recently as two months ago, that specter was evoked by British Novelist C. P. Snow: "We may be moving-perhaps in ten years-into large-scale famine. Many millions of people in the poor countries are going to starve to death before our eyes. We shall see them doing so upon our television sets...
...Negro tended to identify with Judaism's struggle for freedom as portrayed in the Old Testament. Yet, like many conservative white Protestants, he was taught to scorn Jews as a people cursed by deicide.

Italian industry thinks only of the expansion of consumption. And it is not with culture, but with money, that one buys." Many of the critics, particularly the protesting student extremists, take their prosperity for granted and never knew the general privation...

From Francis Parkman to Bernard De Voto, scholars have unearthed the routes and reminiscences of the "mountain men" in the 19th century, devoting volumes to their exploits. Surprisingly, Novelist and Popular Historian Walter O'Meara's anecdotal appreciation seems to be the first to deal with the lives of the women of the fur traders and mountain men.
