...fact, any school which comes into the world shouting about revolutions and complete detachment can usually expect not to outlive its own boisterous exclamations. Nevertheless, most of the things here are not high Dada. The studies of El Lissitzky, Max Ernst, Moholy Nagy, Malewich and Hannah Hoch more often reflect a kind of experimentalism which hovers tenuously in the nether regions of design, just outside the gates of one muse or another. Every so often, of course, a Mondrian or a Klee comes along who makes something of it. Then cometh the rear guard which inevitably ends up, again, indebted...
...economic and social levels are ever lower. There the gangs thrive, for as one Youth Board official says: "Wherever you have great population mobility and disrupted population areas, gangs spring up to replace the broken stability of the group." Adds a Brooklyn junior high school assistant principal: "The kids reflect the adults and the world they live in." Says another school official: "We try to make them act the way we don't.

...first rule for any growing economy, said President Allen, is a stable overall price structure based on supply and demand.

Both books reflect the intelligent spirit of the text that Author Feuchtwanger takes from Spinoza: "I have honestly endeavored not to laugh at the actions of men, nor to bemoan them, nor to abhor them, but to understand them...
...tracking the tiny sphere by radio, the transmitters report the temperature inside it. The surface of the sphere is made of shiny aluminum covered with a thin coat of silicon monoxide. This material is transparent to visible light from the sun, which it permits the polished aluminum to reflect back into space. But it looks black to the long infra-red (heat) waves. Since black surfaces radiate well, it permits the satellite to get rid of its internal heat by radiation. The system seems to be working well. Both transmitters have reported that the temperature inside Vanguard I is staying...
