...Without work all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies." It will be a long while, if ever, before men figure out ways to make the work of, say, a punch-press operator or a file clerk soul-enriching. While waiting for that millennium-which may require entirely new forms of work -bosses who expect loyalty from their employees should try to satisfy their demands for more freedom, more feeling of participation and personal responsibility, and more sense of accomplishment...

In those years just before 1000, theologians were predicting the imminent Second Coming of Jesus Christ; with the end of the millennium would come the end of the world followed by the Last Judgment with infinities of sinners standing naked before the Lord. When an earthquake and tidal wave struck, washing away St. Cyprian's connection with the mainland, its people simply supposed that God had emptied the rest of the world, forgetting...
