...main danger in new math is that it may get too rigid as it spreads more widely. Critics also worry about fads, such as "set theory," a broadly unifying pure math concept that children probably cannot handle at a worthwhile level. But no one is talking about going back to old math. U.S. mathematical literacy can no longer be considered, as Robert Davis puts it, "a matter of God and heredity...
...television, the soap business is a bubbly world of pretty housewives showing off their blinding white wash, of jocular lady plumbers, and of children smearing their cherubic faces with soft, pure suds.

But at his best Novelist Miller has come close to creating a comic epic celebrating the lunatic fringes of a genuine American phenomenon-a young nation's yearning for final answers and impossible perfections, its fears that a great dream has somehow been laid waste in the pillaging of a rich continent for material wellbeing...
