...agricultural Russia, such contradictions have haunted Communism. Today, according to Marxist theory, capitalism should be in its death throes, the working class in utter misery, and the former colonial peoples well on the road to Communism. Instead, capitalism is thriving, Western workers are going middleclass, and the ex-colonies tend toward Socialism but hardly toward Communism. Nikita Khrushchev favors changing the theory to fit these facts more closely; he is, as Peking accurately charges, a revisionist.

Like most All Star conclaves, the impending one will probably be a disappointment. This is inevitable, as the glitter of the assembled luminaries can only build up expectations quite impossible to fullfill. Everyone is subject to bad days, and for some reason, some of the biggest stars in baseball tend to go into eclipse during this annual meeting...

Growth means that the library must deal with publications in increasingly obscure subjects and languages, that its catalogues must become increasingly complicated, and that even the relatively simple process of circulating books grows more costly. It takes longer, for example, to re-shelve a book in stacks containing two million volumes than in stacks containing only a few thousand...
