...farm sector of the economy was already sagging-only 8% of the nation's capital investment had been allotted to its development. Though the gross industrial product increased by 123%, gross farm production rose a mere 26%, scarcely more than the eight-year population growth, by Western estimates. Common sense demanded that more help be given agriculture, even if it meant a pause in the forced drive toward heavy industry. But Mao Tse-tung treats economic problems exactly as he would an enemy's main line of resistance: by ordering forward a human wave to storm and overwhelm...

However much that first product of Radcliffe's revolution may have offended even the most meager aesthetic sensibilities, it has apparently not yet blighted the talent of Radcliffe's artists. The second product of the new system, an art exhibit at South House, provides a most pleasant change from the obnoxious new scrambled-egg color...
