...machine but its owners who converted skilled into unskilled labor. When Morris advocated "simplicity," he was not calling for a peevish and cloistered asceticism but for a clearing away of inessentials. "I demand a free and unfettered animal life for man first of all: I demand the utter extinction of all asceticism. If we feel the least degradation in being amorous, or merry, or hungry, or sleepy, we are so far bad animals, and therefore miserable men." Thompson's book is not only the standard biography of Morris; it makes us realize, as no other writer has done...
...hits a ball with a stick around a grass field earn more than the president of the United States? College graduates ought to pass up law, medicine, and business, and head for the baseball diamond.

"Our law and our attitudes have been conditioned to defend free speech rather than free inquiry," observes Editor Harold Evans, whose exceptionally aggressive Sunday Times has repeatedly incurred government wrath in the past decade. "It is all right to utter opinion but not to publish the supporting evidence." Thus probably no British newspaper would have got away with a disclosure similar to the Washington Post's report last month of secret CIA payoffs to Jordan's King Hussein (see Newswatch). Nor is it likely that a British version...
