...color was in the shops, stocked especially for the holiday season with eggs, wurst of all kinds, toys, cosmetics, porcelain and even-wonder of wonders-oranges. The Vopos seemed to be the major consumers of these tropical delicacies, and every snowy crossing point reeked with the tang of orange peel. But everyone knew that by mid-January the East Berlin grocery shops would be back to their drab staples: potatoes, cabbages and weary lentils...
...Feeding a baby, once one of the major agonies of having one, has been made all but automatic by the Pet Milk Co., which has produced a pre-sterilized can of formula equipped with a sterilized nipple wrapped in plastic. At feeding time nothing more is needed than to peel off the nipple, open the can, tear off the plastic, replace the nipple, and begin feeding the baby one of a choice of four formulas at room temperature.

And now that the hand kiss has become democratic, it is bestowed alfresco, any time, any place, even when the recipient is on horseback or in church...
...year-olds on the air with her every day, replacing three each week. They learn the alphabet, balance baskets on their heads, shove sand around with toy bulldozers, flack for their own drawings, and learn key facts of nature, such as, say, a whale can get a sunburn and peel. It is a school, not vaudeville, to be sure, but it is a pretty good show nonetheless. Teachers crawl under tables to convince reticent little boys that their big chance is hidden in that friendly machine with the red eyes. Once in Los Angeles, the teacher asked if anyone could...
