...stand-up broadcast in a Warsaw square, newly arrived but confident and omniscient as ever. Over at NBC, John Chancellor, no longer at the anchorman's desk but sitting to one side, talks with pictures and maps, and seems happier as a commentator than as a news reader. Temperamentally, he has always been an explainer. These appearances are a long way from the days of Eric Sevareid, looking handsomely lugubrious and furrowed, as he made a few rueful but neutral remarks about events...
...Many a reader engrossed in a new novel envisions actors playing the central parts. To lots of those who read William Styron's haunting, often wildly funny Sophie's Choice, there was but one actress for the title role in the film version: Meryl Streep, 33.

We see agriculture as well as organized murder in the form of wars. Around this point in the book the reader begins to see how potentially powerful trans-personal psychology is as a tool for understanding history. Viewing the common good for fascinating explanations of behavior that is inconceivable--human sacrifice for example "Civilization" is not an explanation but merely the name for the process that has restricted the spectrum...
...without verifying the facts or questioning the source. In the rare event that corrections are made by the Crimson, regarding one of its articles, the corrections are made by the Crimson, regarding one of its articles, these corrections are buried inside the paper, so as not to catch the reader's eye. Instead of "news as it happens," the Crimson prints "news...
