...evident that many undergraduates consider the House just another place to sleep. House activities suffer in comparison with college-wide associations; House athletics are dwarfed by varsity sports; and the House as a social community is drained by half a thousand students who seek social identification with various clubs. But most important, the House as an imaginative arrangement for bringing faculty and student together is very little arrangement at all. While the lucky student may make intellectually valuable contacts within the informal atmosphere of the House, for the great majority, contact with tutors comes about as close as the distance...
...outrun supply, so interest rates push upward. For the Government to try to hold the rates down would be to follow "the road to inflation." The oft-raised claim that tight money presses unfairly on small business and local government is "debatable," Martin argued.

The Graphic art which paralleled the series of paintings that attempted in a Proustian way to be a single work...
...rounded, but the feeling it leaves, as not many stage works do, is that the playwright is more important than the playwriting. Just as Greene's conversion to Roman Catholicism has crucially conditioned the substance of both plays, so, from his coming late to the theater, both plays suffer in form from a novelist's conditioning. But the religious motive involves a deeply serious, perturbed and constantly probing man, and the technical flaws cannot defeat a naturally brilliant storyteller...
