PARADISE. (Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: In it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruit, and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell forever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels...
...this day. Sculpture had been solid since paleolithic man made his fertility dolls, indeed since God made Adam out of clay; it now became a matter of intersecting planes, of wires springing through space, and airy conjunctions of industrial materials-sheet metal, plywood, Celluloid, Bakelite.

...South Africa may be the most notorious issue of the day on Harvard's campus, but there are many others. Several great urban universities, for example, are extensive slumlords or conduct for profit enterprises which have little directly to do with academic freedom. To argue that the profit purpose, pure and simple, excuses the decision-makers in a non-profit corporation from anticipating the ethical consequences of their decisions, is, it seems to me, to hold universities to a lower standard of ethics than corporate America, in some respects, is now expected to observe...
