...Boorstin protested what he considered an overemphasis on the European origins of American identity, went in search of the uniquely American in America. Now, in the second volume of this enormously rich and suggestive survey, he considers the period between the Revolution and the Civil War, and seeks to trace in the earliest records of the nation the traits that have dominated its later history...
...married her; but the damage had been done. Christiane died at 50, a broken woman. Goethe's problem, says Friedenthal, was one that commonly afflicts the creative temperament: he experienced every woman as a potential mother and himself as an eternal child. To the end, Goethe carried this trace of the infantile, a cold little core of narcissism that all his genuine passion and warmth could never quite dissolve. It accounts for the arrogance of his old age, but it also accounts for the surging incredible productivity of those years-the eternal child in Goethe was an unfailing source...

Some of the pieces-such as an examination of Africans' reverence for Charles de Gaulle -are more informative than the standard fare of other Sunday supplements...
...kids get a glass of milk each morning. Fishermen in Kenya are content: the U.S. gave them new boats so they could catch fish twice as fast, and now they only work half as long. But oops! That $2.6 billion sent to Yugoslavia seems to have sunk without a trace. In Jordan a dike that cost the U.S. close to $1,000,000 meanders across the flinty desert for dozens of miles, waiting to trap rain that never falls. And in Indonesia, as one cynic puts it, the net effect of much teaching aid is to assure that "the anti...
...Aperture Seismic Array, the Montana system was laid out to get the best possible signal-to-noise ratio; it promises to provide a twentyfold improvement in the U.S.'s ability to detect seismic signals. With so many instruments spaced so far apart, it will also be possible to trace the direction and distance of an incoming signal because it will be received by all sensors at slightly different times. Though its potential detection capability is still unknown to scientists, the practical extent of the improvements will be checked in the next few months when LASA will be used...
