...library is not particularly anxious to assign literature to the Cage. Any book published in the United States or readily available here will be placed in the regular stacks regardless of its content, with the exception of certain medical works like the Kinsey report and birth control propaganda, which are regulated by Massachusetts. All materials which cannot be legally imported, however, must be placed in the Cage.

They have the whisky, the candy, the penicillin and the supreme good luck...
...stressing the importance of making India a "showcase" for democracy's industrial potential, Lippmann may be overemphasizing the sub-continent's value as a propaganda display. Certainly the problems in India are immense and the strategic value of the area cannot be overestimated. It would, however, be unfortunate to concentrate all our efforts in India at the expense of other Asian and African nations equally vulnerable to Communist appeal...
