Whether by hunting or herding or harvesting, a basic tribal function is subsistence in a harsh environment. As relatively powerless people, tribesmen believe in magic, usually hate outsiders and respect any kinsman who survives long enough to grow...
...East German Parliament to an emergency session. The members braced themselves for another denunciation of West Germany's conciliatory new policy that aims at creating closer cooperation between the two halves of Germany. Indeed, Ulbricht did reiterate some of the old demands, including his insistence that Bonn must respect East German borders. But Ulbricht made some surprising departures from his usual script. He no longer insisted on full diplomatic recognition as the prerequisite for negotiations. He even hinted that trade talks could begin without any preconditions whatsoever.

...Cliches. In effect, The Last Landscape is a how-to book. It tells how to spot open land that is worth saving and how to save it. If anything, the job is easier than ever before.

But neither Shafer's influence nor his choice to nominate Rockefeller could hold the entire delegation in line. Some of the Pennsylvanians had scant respect for their Governor, privately referring to him as "Dudley Do-Right," after the feckless cartoon character who usually ends up doing the wrong thing for the right reason. And Nixon had powerful supporters in the delegation, including George Bloom, chairman of the state public-utility commission, and Congressman James Fulton. When Rockefeller visited the Keystone Staters, District Attorney...
