...education equip people "for adapting to change" and make it possible for them to keep up dating their skills and knowledge. Such a flexible notion of education is hard to dispute. The question is whether it can be useful in transforming institutions in such radically different settings - all vis ited by the commissioners - as Zaire, Sweden, Egypt, Peru, the U.S.S.R., Cameroun...

The church-and Pearson-are probably the only yokes he has willingly borne since he left home. He grew up in Salt Lake City, the son of a postal worker; his mother once drove a taxicab to subsidize young Jack's missionary travels for the church. At the age of twelve he was a newspaper employee, reporting on Boy Scout affairs, and in high school he was student-body president. Once he tried...
