...taking Ec 101 (Tu. Th. 2:30-4:00), The Economy of the United States, and Ec 108 (M. W. F. at 9, Spring Term), Economic Development and Underdevelopment. Both courses are taught by charming, interesting lecturers who have the courtesy not to lean too hard on the red pencil...
...included Switzerland's elite Le Rosey, Phillips Exeter and Yale ('44). Once fascinated by physics as "a way of getting at the truth of things," Holt's confidence in schooling was first shaken when the atom was split. His Exeter teacher simply asked his class to pencil out of their textbooks the basic law, "Matter is neither created nor destroyed"-and all blithely did so without quiver or question.

There are no sub-plots, and no excrescences...
...method is so simple that, in most cases, it can be carried out under a local anesthetic in the doctor's office. The patient is told to fix his gaze on a distant object. Then, while his eyelid is held open, the icy tip of the pencil-size probe is applied to every part of the diseased section for seven seconds at a time. The area is thawed each time with a salt solution to unstick the probe and eye, which freeze together after the fashion of a finger on an ice tray. After the thaw, the entire procedure...
