...anywhere in the world. A science teacher in Nigeria or the Philippines does not swing a pick any more than a science teacher in the United States. He follows a classroom-plus-preparation routine just as any teacher. The physical hardships of a Peace Corps job lie in the realm of adjusting to a different climate and different physical surroundings. These adjustments depend on good health, not on good muscles. The spectacle of a Peace Corps "boot camp" in Puerto Rico supervised by an athletic director, of all people, is nothing short of ludicrous. Nor is the imposing list...
While the Dodgers' realm is that of the future, the Braves' is that of the past. They will probably win their 91 ball games by force of habit if nothing else.

In developing his famed Steeplechase Day, Paris; After the Races, a carefree scene at the Longchamp track, he kept...
...discovery of the unconscious depths of man's mind by Schopenhauer, Freud and others seemed to offer an escape; here was a dark, mysterious realm, irrational as man knew himself to be irrational, to which he might shift responsibility for his acts. But this worked only partly; ultimately even the cult of the unconscious (psychoanalysis) directed...
