Stone emphasized that the reform program, sparked by Che Guevera, "a really wonderful human being," was "no more left wing than the reforms of the American Federalists." Both groups, said Stone, recognized that only the monopoly latifunda-lsts benefit from maintaining a sizeable group of "shiftless poor--that way the rich can keep them from shifting to industrial work...
...into a "future-directed" one. Scientists, who have a sense of the future by virtue of the changing, historical character of their disciplines, can provide an antidote to our "existentialist," present-centered thinking. We are, Snow feels, self-satisfied and unmindful of the starving other two-thirds of the human race. We should make it a goal of our drifting society to feed these people. Such a goal would require planning ahead. Since scientists are more apt to think in terms of the future ("they have a sense of knowledge to come"), we need more scientists in government...
...nymph, but instead of trees, rivers and mountains, she haunts galleries, fine restaurants and her tasteful London house. Jacques is an ageless satyr, but instead of tootling the pipes of Pan in some mythic glade, he rummages in London garbage cans and beds down on park benches.

It has mapped out the geography of the environment from battlefront to suburban home front from Main Street to Madison Avenue...
Graves, a short-story writer who teaches creative writing at Texas Christian University, tells accurately of the echoing loneliness a housebred man feels during the first night's camp, and then, days later, of the quick resentment stirred by the intrusion of another human being. During the stillnesses, the narrative wanders to the old tales of what Graves calls "the good and bad and beside-the-point" of Brazos history. He tells of one settler, John Davis, who built the first floorboards in any cabin in the Palo Pinto country, and who, when his bride died in childbirth, tore...
