...defeat. With the exception of the Gaullists of France, non-Communist Europeans generally have found MacArthur guilty of gambling the greater part of U.S. ground strength on his private political hunch that the Chinese Communists would not strike. Now they wonder whether the U.S. plans to involve itself still deeper against the Chinese on a hunch that Russia will not honor its mutual defense treaty with China. They wonder whether U.S. industrial capacity will be able to support a two-front war against China on the one side and Russia, in possession of the Ruhr, on the other...
...Waugh gave evidence in his one great book "Brideshead Revisited" that he did have a brain underneath that fun-and-games exterior. It was a serious study, streaked through with a deeper humor, of much the same sort of people he had had such fun with in his earlier books. Waugh had come of age, one tought...
...must be compared to Voltaire's. The brief poetical passages in John Bull's Other Island are the poorest sentimentality; even the saintly figure of Father Keegan in that play occasionally arouses shyness.

In fact, beamed Sir Thomas, he had come "neither to educate nor to enlighten, but only to please...
...Doherty's concerns ran deeper than enrollments, endowments, or even research; he had ideas for changing Tech's curriculum that made many an old-line technical prof shudder. Doherty was among the forward-looking men in technical education who realized just how limited a strictly technical education might be. However skilled they were, he decided, most engineers were "illiterate about the world around them." They were able to do amazing things within their own narrow fields, but they were helpless once they went beyond. As professional leaders and as citizens, said Doherty, they were next to useless...
