a child named Reuben who has Polish-speaking parents. The students blush at the mere mention of the word parent. References to sexual reproduction, including words like mother and father, are now considered pornographic. In the World State, people only use such words in clinical discussions.

Long ago, Most Learned Teacher,*1 I prayed to God, the Best and Greatest, that eventually some testimony of my gratitude and everlasting respect for you would come to public notice. By some peculiar chance beyond my hope and expectation it has happened, both quickly and as I hope, happily enough. There

supernatural and the unnatural, Maupassant very rarely touched any class of persons, or any order of subjects, which he did not know to the core. Whenever he broke this rule, his hand somewhat lost its cunning ; he was completely at home only when he moulded and remoulded for the purposes of his art every fragment of personal experience, every scrap of confirmatory information and illus- tration. There were not many tints on his palette ; but he blended them almost to perfection

and enjoyment of the technology. The movie critic David Thomson once observed that “doubts can be rendered feeble in the face of the certainty of the medium.”6 He was talking about the cinema and how it projects its sensations and sensibilities not only onto the movie screen but onto us, the engrossed and compliant audience. His comment applies with even greater force to the Net. The computer screen bulldozes our doubts with its bounties and conveniences. It is so much our servant that it would seem

We have won the war, but were nearly defeated; had Germany won, if only on land, you would have had to reckon with a Heartland empire; the Heartland the persistent geographical threat to world liberty; how came Germany to make the mistake of offensive on West front; Hamburg and the man-power policy; we must now divide

Geoffrey Lloyd gave expert advice on the Greeks; I am grateful for all of it, even if I only paid attention to some.

And as of today, it is 15. But money is not the only problem with healthcare in Britain. The NHS itself needs modernisation and hard choices. We appointed the first Minister for Public Health because the NHS should not lose millions every year because of avoidable illnesses like those from smoking.

in the short story in a humorous vein in American literature. Probably all types of the short story of humor are included here, at any rate. Not only copyright restrictions but in a measure my own opinion have combined to exclude anything by Joel Chandler Harris--Uncle Remus--from the collection. Harris is primarily--in his best work--a humorist, and only secondarily a short story writer. As a humorist he is of the first rank; as a writer of short stories his place is hardly so high. His humor is

through Chinese history there are references to wine. Some early examples are: The story of "Tu Kang Makes Wine", for example, is probably not credible in a historical sense. Although folk legend regards Tu Kang as the man to first make wine, as the God of Wine, such legends nevertheless possess a folkloric significance and should not be ignored.
