...little too late to reflect that "a 'person' is a-man-plus-a-woman; with one or the other absent, there is no person." When Gaunt sees his sex-starved fellow men queueing up for the Miss America Doll (including choice of permeating perfumes), it seems to him that "she" is precisely the "mechanical lust-putty" that they have been hankering after all along-an erotic object chosen solely according to "criteria of eye and ear and nose and touch," devoid of all "personality . . . mind . . . ideas or a soul." It is inevitable, Gaunt thinks, that this lascivious dummy...
What makes the University's high-handed adoption of a multi-colored schedule especially irritating is that it will not only affect me but four percent of the College--that is if Harvard men reflect the national average of protonopia. This means, simply, that instead of a handful of men sleeping through exams now four percent will.

Most businessmen maintain that the U.S. is even now not in the lead-time period, simply because the orders have not been placed...
...This rule was added in the faculty committee's version: "No organization shall be allowed to appear on a commercially sponsored Radio or T.V. program." Why not? Apparently for three reasons. First, that the performance might in some way reflect on Harvard's name. But Harvard's name is founded upon rock and no amount of petty smirching--even if there is any--is going to affect it. Second, that the University might seem to support the views of the performers (who might be the John Reed Club, say). But the next rule down on the list prevents an organization...
