...R.E.G. Armattoe, of Londonderry, Northern Ireland, whose paper was read to the meeting, is a student of human hairiness, which varies, he said, with geography and intellect. For some undetermined reason, the most intellectual men are apt to be the baldest. Dr. Armattoe attended the 1947 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Dundee, Scotland, and found that 55% of the male delegates showed "central baldness" and 22% "frontal baldness." Swedish intellectuals were found to be in the most desperate shape: 70% of them are bald before they are 40. In Switzerland the incidence of intellectual...

How does he talk, how does he live, and how does he act?' ". . . The sage whose mind is unruffled in suffering, whose desire is not to rouse by enjoyment, who is without attachment to anger or fear-take him to be one who stands at that lofty level. "He, who wherever he goes, is attached to no person and to no place by ties of flesh; who accepts good and evil...
...abstractness of many of its issues, will prevent "Process and Reality" from over directly affecting more than a small number of industrious and independent thinkers. But its indirect effect has been and will continue to be enormous, it should forever remain, a landmark in the history of the intellect, a perpetual source of fundamental ideas, a monument in metaphysics, cosmology and theology, a watershed separating off twentieth century from nineteenth century thought...
