...Canadians deal with these difficulties? As in most racial conflicts, I suggest that the answer lies at the level of individual relationships.

...CITING EXAMPLES of behavior patterns in the animal kingdom to suggest human beings must inevitably behave in a similar fashion misses one major point. We are not animals, we are human beings. We are not controlled completely by genetic factors. Our relationship to animals farther down on the evolutionary scale is interesting and informative, but it can't be taken too seriously. Genetically, the difference between a man and a chimpanzee is negligible, but culturally there is all the difference in the world...

In his view, the constraints suggest that a process of natural selection occurs at the molecular level long before organisms develop. If this is true, some additions will have to be made to the Darwinian theory that natural selection takes place only after the organism is formed and begins adapting to the world around it. That notion does not seem to bother Pieczenik. "What this means," he says, "is that the DNA sequences exist to protect themselves and their own information...

The author strikes this mordant note often enough to suggest a bitterness behind the punch lines. Berger rarely fails to make wretched excess seem hilarious, but he insists that equal emphasis be placed on both excess and wretched. Paul Gray
