...Talk with King Abdullah. "Never throughout my life," she once said, "have I planned what position I would like to have. That ambitious I haven't been." Born Goldie Mabovitch in Kiev, she was eight when her family emigrated to Milwaukee and a willful 14 when she ran away to join a sister in Denver, until her parents surrendered and agreed to let her study to be a schoolteacher. Except for a stint of teaching in folk schulen, or Yiddish folk schools, she never fulfilled that ambition. Instead, she joined the Labor Zionist movement as an enthusiastic, full-time...
Shopkeepers to the Streets. Big wage increases could put new inflationary pressures on an economy that is already severely strained. Because inflation has hindered exports and stoked domestic demand for imports, French trade deficits ran more than $200 million a month in both December and January. Devaluation of the franc would relieve the competitive imbalance by making French goods cheaper on world markets.

And he created Basic English by interrogating his intelligent friends; he had hundreds of them; he belonged to seven Clubs, at least, and could contrive not to be a club bore...
...themes of belittlement, isolation, and neglect ran contrapuntally through the chorus of complaint. Enering the Graduate School as an elite selected from long lists of applicants, the students seemed to feel that the actual reception meant that nobody really cared for them or their opinions. It is as if they had wandered into a society of competitive, specialized scholars who might perhaps train them to run the academic race but who refused to meet them on the ground of what is meaningful and relevant in their own lives...
