...play there for a greens fee of $2. She and George bought the course two years ago and set up housekeeping in a pink stucco, remodeled caddy house just off the practice putting green. Babe takes her housewifely chores as seriously as her golf. She designed the modern, push-button kitchen which, like the dining room is painted a violent yellow.

"Always give the customer more than you promise," was their motto, "but not too much, or you'll go broke." One of the company's first formal contracts was brief and to the point...
Gloomy Prediction. Physicists know that the motions of single molecules (e.g., in a gas) are unpredictable. They may move fast or slow and zigzag in any direction. But the impacts of billions of gas molecules against a restraining surface produce a steady push that obeys definite and rather simple laws. In the same manner, Darwin believes, the actions of individual humans are erratic and sometimes remarkable, but the behavior of large numbers of them over long periods of time is as predictable as the pressure of gas. All that is needed is to determine the basic, averaged-out properties...

Never, said he, could his democratic, planned-economy socialists unite with such exploiters. Privately, B-G had another concern. He feared that a swing to the right might push his idealistic, youthful Mapainiks to the left and into the arms of the uncompromisingly Marxist Mapam Party...
