Greenstone is a story of two races-the Polynesian Maori, who came to New Zealand from their legendary oceanic island homeland in the 14th century, and the Scotch-English, who arrived in the 19th with the usual guns, Bibles and technological superiority. This, however, is no sad, simple story of savage innocence overwhelmed by progress. Miss Ashton-Warner grinds no stone axes against the bad white man. She does something a great deal more complicated and valuable; she sets in motion a sort of dance of language and imagery in which the childhood of the sophisticated race meets the stubborn...
City-Bred Muscle. This and most other urban problems seem almost trivial in comparison with those created by the changing race structure.

...legally liable for his ravings. At a press conference, Tarsis sounded sane enough though a bit high-strung. He roundly condemned Soviet "police fascism," "bandit fascism," and "the government, which has betrayed the national cause." Then he sounded very much like any other author anywhere. "I am very sad that my books haven't sold well enough in the West," he remarked, adding hopefully, "I hear the Americans specialize in publicity. Perhaps they can do something to sell more of my books...
