...would not involve creating a course in the ordinary sense of the word, for work could still be conducted on an informal basis: through discussion groups, seminars, and personal contact between counsellor and student. Alternatively, there could be established a degree requirement of Knowledge of American Civilization--a requirement parallel to the present one in languages. This suggestion might be crucified by cries of Nationalism and Chauvinism, but it is obviously neither of these when considered as an attempt to provide college graduates with a keener appreciation of the contemporary American scene...

S. has contrived no coffee ceremony to parallel the Japanese tea ceremony, it has paid coffee a typical American tribute: in Massachusetts in 1865 the percolator was invented. And nowadays a cornerstone of economic solidarity between the 21 American republics is the annual purchase of 13,000,000 bags of coffee-mostly the lower-priced coffees of Brazil, partly the quality coffees of Colombia, which are frequently used, as Turkish tobacco is used...
