There is exist.v.01 an ancient ancient.s.02 and venerable august.s.02 tradition tradition.n.01 in the church church.n.01 ( which derives derive.v.05 , however however.r.01 , from the heritage heritage.n.01 of the Greeks greek.n.02 rather rather.r.01 than from the Bible bible.n.01 ) that God god.n.01 is be.v.01 completely wholly.r.01 independent independent.s.04 of his creation creation.n.02 and so has have.v.01 no need need.n.01 of men man.n.03 for accomplishing carry_through.v.01 his work work.n.01 in the world universe.n.01 . by analogy analogy.n.01 , the church church.n.01 also besides.r.02 has been regarded as think_of.v.03 entirely wholly.r.01 independent independent.s.04 of the `` world universe.n.01 '' in the sense sense.n.02 of requiring necessitate.v.01 nothing nothing.n.01 from it in order to be be.v.02 the church church.n.01 . But , as Scripture bible.n.01 everywhere everywhere.r.01 reminds remind.v.01 us , God god.n.01 does have have.v.01 need need.n.01 of his creatures animal.n.01 , and the church church.n.01 , a fortiori a_fortiori.r.01 , can ill ill.r.01 afford afford.v.01 to do do.v.04 without the talents talent.n.02 with which the world universe.n.01 , by God god.n.01 's providence providence.n.02 , presents give.v.08 it . Until we translate understand.v.03 this gospel gospel.n.01 into a language language.n.01 that enlightened educated.s.02 men man.n.03 today nowadays.r.01 can understand understand.v.03 , we are depriving deprive.v.02 ourselves of the very identical.s.02 resources resource.n.02 on which the continued continued.a.01 success success.n.01 of our witness witness.n.03 most most.r.02 certainly surely.r.01 depends depend.v.01 . In arguing argue.v.01 in this way manner.n.01 , we are obviously obviously.r.01 taking take.v.06 for granted given.s.01 that a demythologized demythologized.s.01 restatement restatement.n.01 of the kerygma kerygma.n.01 can be achieved achieve.v.01 ; and that we firmly firm.r.01 believe believe.v.03 this will presently soon.r.01 become become.v.01 evident apparent.s.01 when we set forth set_forth.v.01 reasons reason.n.01 to justify justify.v.02 such such.s.01 a conviction conviction.n.01 . But the main chief.s.01 point point.n.03 here here.r.02 is be.v.02 that even even.r.01 if such such.s.01 a restatement restatement.n.01 were be.v.01 not not.r.01 possible possible.a.01 , the demand demand.n.01 to demythologize demythologize.v.01 the kerygma kerygma.n.01 would still still.r.01 be be.v.01 unavoidable ineluctable.s.01 . This is be.v.02 what we mean think_of.v.04 when we say state.v.01 this demand demand.n.01 must be accepted accept.v.03 without condition condition.n.02 . If to be be.v.01 a Christian christian.n.01 means entail.v.01 to say state.v.01 yes where I otherwise otherwise.r.01 say state.v.01 no , or where I do not not.r.01 have have.v.01 the right right.n.01 to say state.v.01 anything at all at_all.r.01 , then then.r.02 my only alone.s.03 choice option.n.02 is be.v.02 to refuse refuse.v.01 to be be.v.01 a Christian christian.n.01 . Expressed express.v.02 differently differently.r.01 : if the price price.n.04 for becoming become.v.01 a faithful faithful.a.01 follower follower.n.01 of Jesus Christ jesus.n.01 is be.v.02 some form kind.n.01 of self-destruction suicide.n.01 , whether of the body body.n.01 or of the mind mind.n.01 - sacrificium corporis , sacrificium intellectus - then then.r.02 there is exist.v.01 no alternative option.n.02 but that the price price.n.04 remain stay.v.01 unpaid unpaid.a.01 . This must be stressed stress.v.01 because it is be.v.01 absolutely absolutely.r.01 essential essential.s.01 to the argument argument.n.01 of this concluding concluding.s.01 chapter chapter.n.01 . Modern modern.a.01 man world.n.08 , as Dietrich Bonhoeffer NE has told state.v.01 us , has `` come of age come_of_age.v.01 '' ; and though this process process.n.06 by no means by_no_means.r.01 represents represent.v.01 an unambiguous unambiguous.a.01 gain profit.n.02 and is , in fact in_fact.r.01 , marked distinguish.v.03 by the estrangement alienation.n.02 from the depths depth.n.02 that seems look.v.02 to be be.v.02 the cost price.n.03 of human human.a.03 maturation maturation.n.01 , it is be.v.02 still however.r.01 a positive positive.a.01 step measure.n.01 forward forth.r.02 ; and those of us who so so.r.01 richly amply.r.01 benefit profit.v.01 from it should be be.v.01 the last last.s.04 to despise contemn.v.01 it . In any event anyhow.r.01 , it is be.v.01 an irreversible irreversible.a.01 step measure.n.01 , and if we are be.v.01 at all at_all.r.01 honest honest.a.01 with ourselves , we will know know.v.03 we have have.v.01 no other other.a.01 alternative option.n.02 than to live populate.v.01 in the world universe.n.01 in which God god.n.01 has seen fit to place place.v.02 us . We have aligned align.v.03 ourselves with that `` liberal broad.s.08 '' tradition tradition.n.01 in Protestant protestant.a.01 Christianity christianity.n.01 that counts count.v.05 among the great great.s.02 names name.n.04 in its history history.n.01 those of Schleiermacher NE , Ritschl NE , Herrmann NE , Harnack NE , and Troeltsch NE , and more more.r.01 recently recently.r.01 , Schweitzer NE and the early early.s.04 Barth NE and , in part partially.r.01 at least at_least.r.01 , Bultmann NE . It is be.v.02 to this same same.a.01 tradition tradition.n.01 that most of the creative creative.a.01 figures name.n.04 in the last last.s.01 century century.n.01 and a half one-half.n.01 of American american.a.01 theology theology.n.01 also besides.r.02 belong belong_to.v.01 .

What makes make.v.02 this long long.a.01 and diverse divers.s.01 tradition tradition.n.01 essentially basically.r.01 one one.s.02 is be.v.02 that those who have belonged to belong_to.v.01 it have been be.v.01 profoundly profoundly.r.01 in earnest in_earnest.s.00 about being be.v.01 modern modern.a.01 men man.n.03 in a distinctively distinctively.r.01 modern world modern_times.n.01 . Although they have also besides.r.02 been concerned concern.v.02 to stand stand.v.06 squarely squarely.r.01 within the tradition tradition.n.01 of the apostolic apostolic.a.01 church church.n.01 , they have exhibited expose.v.03 no willingness willingness.n.01 whatever to sacrifice sacrifice.v.01 their modernity modernity.n.01 to their Christianity christianity.n.01 . They have insisted insist.v.01 , rather rather.r.01 , on living live.v.02 fully fully.r.01 and completely wholly.r.01 within modern modern.a.01 culture acculturation.n.02 and , so so.r.01 far far.r.02 from considering see.v.05 this treason treason.n.01 to God god.n.01 , have looked upon think_of.v.03 it as the only alone.s.03 way means.n.01 they could be be.v.01 faithful faithful.a.01 to him . When we say state.v.01 , then then.r.02 , that today nowadays.r.01 , in our situation situation.n.01 , the demand demand.n.01 for demythologization demythologization.n.01 must be accepted accept.v.03 without condition condition.n.02 , we are simply merely.r.01 saying state.v.01 that at least at_least.r.02 this much much.n.01 of the liberal broad.s.08 tradition tradition.n.01 is be.v.01 an enduring abiding.s.01 achievement accomplishment.n.01 . In affirming affirm.v.02 this we have already already.r.01 taken take.v.01 the decisive decisive.a.01 step measure.n.01 in breaking interrupt.v.04 the deadlock deadlock.n.01 into which Bultmann NE 's attempt attempt.n.01 to formulate explicate.v.02 such such.s.01 a theology theology.n.01 has led leave.v.07 . For we have said state.v.01 , in effect effectively.r.02 , that of the two two.s.01 alternatives option.n.02 to his position position.n.03 variously variously.r.01 represented represent.v.03 by the other other.a.01 participants participant.n.01 in the demythologizing demythologize.v.01 discussion discussion.n.01 , only entirely.r.02 one one.n.01 is be.v.02 really actually.r.01 an alternative option.n.02 . If the demand demand.n.01 for demythologization demythologization.n.01 is be.v.01 unavoidable ineluctable.s.01 and so must be accepted accept.v.03 by theology theology.n.01 unconditionally unconditionally.r.01 , the position position.n.03 of the `` right right.n.04 '' is be.v.01 clearly clearly.r.01 untenable indefensible.s.01 . Whereas Bultmann NE 's `` center center.n.12 '' position position.n.03 is be.v.01 structurally structurally.r.01 inconsistent inconsistent.s.02 and is be.v.01 therefore therefore.r.01 indefensible indefensible.s.01 on formal formal.a.03 grounds reason.n.01 alone entirely.r.02 , the general general.a.01 position position.n.03 of the `` right right.n.04 '' , as represented represent.v.03 , say , by Karl Barth NE , involves necessitate.v.01 the rejection rejection.n.01 or at least at_least.r.01 qualification qualification.n.02 of the demand demand.n.01 for demythologization demythologization.n.01 and so is invalidated invalidate.v.01 on the material material.a.03 grounds reason.n.01 we have just just.r.03 considered consider.v.04 . It follows follow.v.03 , then then.r.02 , provided the possibilities hypothesis.n.02 have been exhausted consume.v.05 , that the only entirely.r.02 real real.a.01 alternative option.n.02 is be.v.02 the general general.a.01 viewpoint point_of_view.n.01 of the `` left left.n.02 '' , which has been represented represent.v.03 on the Continent continent.n.02 by Fritz Buri NE and , to some some.a.01 extent extent.n.01 at least at_least.r.01 , is found find.v.01 in much much.n.01 that is be.v.01 significant significant.s.02 in American american.a.01 and English english.a.01 theology theology.n.01 . In order to make make.v.02 the implications significance.n.02 of our position position.n.03 as clear clear.a.01 as possible possible.a.01 , we may develop explicate.v.02 this argument argument.n.01 at greater greater.a.01 length length.n.03 . We may show testify.v.02 , first first.r.01 , that there cannot possibly possibly.r.01 be exist.v.01 an alternative option.n.02 other than other_than.s.00 the three three.n.01 typically typically.r.01 represented represent.v.03 by Bultmann NE , Barth NE , and Buri NE . To do do.v.03 this , it is be.v.01 sufficient sufficient.a.01 to point out comment.v.01 that if the principle rationale.n.01 in terms of in_terms_of.s.00 which alternatives option.n.02 are to be conceived gestate.v.01 is be.v.01 such as to exclude exclude.v.01 more than more_than.r.00 two two.n.01 , then then.r.02 the question question.n.02 of a `` third third.s.01 '' possibility hypothesis.n.02 is be.v.01 a meaningless meaningless.a.01 question question.n.02 . Thus therefore.r.01 , if what is be.v.01 at issue at_issue.s.00 is be.v.01 whether `` All all.a.01 S is be.v.02 P '' , it is be.v.01 indifferent immaterial.s.05 whether `` Some some.a.01 S is be.v.02 not not.r.01 P '' or `` No no.a.01 S is be.v.02 P '' , since in either case event.n.02 the judgment judgment.n.01 in question doubtful.s.01 is be.v.01 false false.a.01 . Therefore therefore.r.01 , the only entirely.r.02 conceivable conceivable.s.01 alternatives option.n.02 are be.v.01 those represented represent.v.03 , on the one hand on_the_one_hand.r.01 , by the two two.s.01 at least at_least.r.01 apparently apparently.r.01 self-consistent self-consistent.s.01 but mutually exclusive contradictory.s.04 positions position.n.03 of Buri NE and Barth NE and , on the other hand on_the_other_hand.r.01 , by the third third.s.01 but really truly.r.01 pseudo pseudo.s.01 position position.n.03 ( analogous analogous.s.01 to a round round.a.01 square square.n.01 ) of Bultmann NE .

The biblical biblical.a.01 symbol symbol.n.01 for this affirmation avowal.n.01 is expressed express.v.02 in the words word.n.01 : `` So so.r.01 God god.n.01 created create.v.02 man world.n.08 in his own own.s.01 image persona.n.02 ; in the similitude likeness.n.01 of God god.n.01 he created create.v.02 him '' . There are exist.v.01 some some.a.01 passages passage.n.02 in the writings hagiographa.n.01 of Irenaeus NE where the image persona.n.02 of God god.n.01 and the similitude likeness.n.01 are sharply sharply.r.02 distinguished distinguish.v.01 , so so.r.03 most most.r.01 notably notably.r.01 in the statement statement.n.01 : `` If the [ Holy holy_ghost.n.01 ] Spirit is be.v.01 absent absent.a.01 from the soul soul.n.01 , such such.s.01 a man man.n.03 is be.v.01 indeed indeed.r.01 of an animal animal.s.01 nature nature.n.01 ; and , being left leave.v.04 carnal animal.s.01 , he will be be.v.01 an imperfect fallible.s.02 being organism.n.01 , possessing possess.v.01 the image persona.n.02 [ of God god.n.01 ] in his formation formation.n.05 , but not not.r.01 receiving receive.v.02 the similitude likeness.n.01 [ of God god.n.01 ] through the Spirit holy_ghost.n.01 '' . Thus therefore.r.01 the image persona.n.02 of God god.n.01 is be.v.02 that which makes make.v.02 a man man.n.03 a man man.n.03 and not not.r.01 an oyster oyster.n.01 ; the similitude likeness.n.01 of God god.n.01 , by contrast contrast.n.02 , is be.v.02 that which makes make.v.02 a man man.n.03 a child child.n.02 of God god.n.01 and not not.r.01 merely merely.r.01 a rational rational.a.01 creature animal.n.01 . Recent recent.s.01 research research.n.01 on Irenaeus NE , however however.r.02 , makes make.v.02 it evident apparent.s.01 that he does not not.r.01 consistently systematically.r.01 maintain conserve.v.02 this distinction differentiation.n.01 . Therefore therefore.r.01 Irenaeus NE describes describe.v.01 man world.n.08 's creation creation.n.03 as follows as_follows.r.01 : `` So that the man man.n.03 should not not.r.01 have experience.v.03 thoughts idea.n.01 of grandeur nobility.n.02 , and become become.v.01 lifted up elate.v.01 , as if he had have.v.07 no lord overlord.n.01 , because of the dominion dominion.n.01 that had been given give.v.03 to him , and the freedom freedom.n.01 , fall fall.v.12 into sin sin.n.01 against God god.n.01 his Creator godhead.n.01 , overstepping transgress.v.04 his bounds boundary.n.01 , and take up take_up.v.02 an attitude attitude.n.01 of self-conceited conceited.s.01 arrogance arrogance.n.01 towards God god.n.01 , a law law.n.01 was given give.v.03 him by God god.n.01 , that he might know know.v.01 that he had have.v.07 for lord overlord.n.01 the lord godhead.n.01 of all .

These conditions condition.n.02 man world.n.08 did not not.r.01 keep observe.v.06 , and thus therefore.r.01 he became become.v.01 mortal mortal.a.01 ; yet he did not not.r.01 stop discontinue.v.01 being be.v.01 human human.a.03 as a result consequence.n.01 . There is exist.v.01 no justification justification.n.01 for systematizing systematize.v.01 the random random.a.01 statements argument.n.01 of Irenaeus NE about the image persona.n.02 of God god.n.01 beyond this , nor for reading take.v.06 into his imprecise imprecise.a.01 usage use.n.01 the later later.s.01 theological theological.a.01 distinction differentiation.n.01 between the image persona.n.02 of God god.n.01 ( humanity humanness.n.01 ) and the similitude likeness.n.01 of God god.n.01 ( immortality immortality.n.01 ) . Man world.n.08 was created create.v.02 with the capacity capacity.n.01 for immortality immortality.n.01 , but the devil satan.n.01 's promise promise.n.01 of immortality immortality.n.01 in exchange exchange.n.03 for disobedience disobedience.n.01 cost cost.v.02 Adam adam.n.01 his immortality immortality.n.01 . He was , in the words words.n.01 of Irenaeus NE , `` beguiled juggle.v.01 by another under the pretext pretext.n.01 of immortality immortality.n.01 '' . The true true.a.01 way means.n.01 to immortality immortality.n.01 lay dwell.v.02 through obedience obedience.n.01 , but man world.n.08 did not not.r.01 believe believe.v.01 this . `` Eve eve.n.01 was be.v.01 disobedient disobedient.a.01 ; for she did not not.r.01 obey obey.v.01 when as yet so_far.r.01 she was be.v.01 a virgin virgin.n.01 . Because he interprets rede.v.01 the primitive crude.s.04 state state.n.02 of man world.n.08 as one of mere mere.s.01 potentiality potential.n.01 or capacity capacity.n.01 and believes believe.v.01 that Adam adam.n.01 and Eve eve.n.01 were created create.v.02 as children child.n.01 , Irenaeus NE often frequently.r.01 seems look.v.02 inclined inclined.a.01 to extenuate extenuate.v.01 their disobedience disobedience.n.01 as being be.v.01 `` due due_to.s.00 , no doubt to_be_sure.r.01 , to carelessness negligence.n.01 , but still however.r.01 wicked sinful.s.02 '' . His interpretation interpretation.n.01 of the beginning beginning.n.01 on the basis basis.n.02 of the end end.n.03 prompts motivate.v.01 him to draw describe.v.01 these parallels analogue.n.01 between the Virgin virgin.n.01 Eve eve.n.01 and the Virgin virgin.n.01 Mary mary.n.01 . That parallelism parallelism.n.01 affects affect.v.01 his picture mental_picture.n.01 of man world.n.08 's disobedience disobedience.n.01 too besides.r.02 ; for as it was be.v.02 Christ jesus.n.01 , the Word of God word_of_god.n.01 , who came come.v.03 to rescue rescue.v.01 man world.n.08 , so so.r.03 it was be.v.02 disobedience disobedience.n.01 to the word of God word_of_god.n.01 in the beginning primitively.r.01 that brought bring.v.03 death death.n.02 into the world universe.n.01 , and all our woe suffering.n.02 . With this act act.n.02 of disobedience disobedience.n.01 , and not not.r.01 with the inception origin.n.03 of his individual individual.a.01 existence being.n.01 , man world.n.08 began begin.v.03 the downward down.s.02 circuit tour.n.01 on the spiral spiral.n.01 of history history.n.01 , descending fall.v.32 from the created create.v.02 capacity capacity.n.01 for immortality immortality.n.01 to an inescapable ineluctable.s.01 mortality mortality.n.01 . At the nadir nadir.n.01 of that circuit tour.n.01 is be.v.03 death death.n.02 . `` Along along.r.04 with the fruit fruit.n.01 they did also besides.r.02 fall fall.v.09 under the power power.n.01 of death death.n.02 , because they did eat eat.v.01 in disobedience disobedience.n.01 ; and disobedience disobedience.n.01 to God god.n.01 entails entail.v.01 death death.n.01 . Wherefore wherefore.r.00 , as they became become.v.01 forfeit confiscate.s.01 to death death.n.02 , from that [ moment moment.n.01 ] they were handed over hand_over.v.01 to it '' . This leads lead.v.05 Irenaeus NE to the somewhat slightly.r.01 startling startling.s.01 notion impression.n.01 that Adam adam.n.01 and Eve eve.n.01 died die.v.01 on the same same.a.01 day day.n.01 that they disobeyed disobey.v.01 , namely namely.r.01 , on a Friday friday.n.01 , as a parallel analogue.n.01 to the death death.n.01 of Christ jesus.n.01 on Good Friday good_friday.n.01 ; he sees understand.v.02 a parallel analogue.n.01 also besides.r.02 to the Jewish jewish.a.01 day day.n.03 of preparation preparation.n.01 for the Sabbath sabbath.n.01 . In any case anyhow.r.01 , though they had been promised promise.v.02 immortality immortality.n.01 if they ate eat.v.01 of the tree tree.n.01 , they obtained obtain.v.01 mortality mortality.n.01 instead rather.r.01 . Man man.n.03 's life life.n.02 , originally primitively.r.01 shaped shape.v.02 for immortality immortality.n.01 and for communion communion.n.02 with God god.n.01 , must now now.r.01 be conformed to follow.v.07 the shape shape.n.01 of death death.n.02 . Nevertheless however.r.01 , even even.r.01 at the nadir nadir.n.01 of the circuit tour.n.01 the spiral spiral.n.01 of history history.n.01 belongs belong.v.01 to God god.n.01 , and he still still.r.01 rules govern.v.03 . Even even.r.01 death death.n.02 , therefore therefore.r.01 , has have.v.01 a providential heaven-sent.s.01 as well as a punitive punitive.a.01 function function.n.02 . `` Wherefore wherefore.r.00 also besides.r.02 He [ God god.n.01 ] drove chase_away.v.01 him [ man world.n.08 ] out of Paradise eden.n.01 , and removed remove.v.05 him far far.r.02 from the tree tree.n.01 of life animation.n.01 , not not.r.01 because He envied envy.v.01 him the tree tree.n.01 of life animation.n.01 , as some venture venture.v.03 to assert assert.v.01 , but because He pitied feel_for.v.01 him , [ and did not not.r.01 desire desire.v.01 ] that he should continue continue.v.01 a sinner sinner.n.01 for ever always.r.01 , nor that the sin sin.n.01 which surrounded wall.v.01 him should be be.v.01 immortal immortal.a.01 , and evil evil.n.03 interminable endless.s.01 and irremediable irremediable.a.01 .

This idea idea.n.01 , which occurs occur.v.03 in both Tatian NE and Cyprian NE , fits suit.v.01 especially particularly.r.01 well well.r.01 into the scheme scheme.n.01 of Irenaeus NE ' theology theology.n.02 ; for it prepares fix.v.12 the way way.n.06 for the passage passage.n.01 from life animation.n.01 through death death.n.03 to life animation.n.01 that is achieved achieve.v.01 in Christ jesus.n.01 . As man man.n.03 can live survive.v.01 only entirely.r.02 by dying die.v.01 , so so.r.03 it was be.v.02 only entirely.r.02 by his dying die.v.01 that Christ jesus.n.01 could bring bring.v.02 many many.a.01 to life animation.n.01 . It is be.v.01 probably probably.r.01 fair fair.a.01 to say state.v.01 that the idea idea.n.01 of death death.n.02 is be.v.01 more more.r.01 profound profound.a.01 in Irenaeus NE than the idea idea.n.01 of sin sin.n.01 is be.v.01 . This applies apply.v.02 to his picture mental_picture.n.01 of Adam adam.n.01 . It becomes become.v.01 most most.r.01 evident apparent.s.01 in his description description.n.01 of Christ jesus.n.01 as the second second.s.01 Adam adam.n.01 , who does indeed indeed.r.01 come come.v.03 to destroy destroy.v.01 sin sin.n.01 , but whose work work.n.01 culminates culminate.v.01 in the achievement accomplishment.n.01 of immortality immortality.n.01 . This emphasis vehemence.n.01 upon death death.n.02 rather rather.r.01 than sin sin.n.01 as man world.n.08 's fundamental cardinal.s.01 problem problem.n.01 Irenaeus NE shares share.v.01 with many many.a.01 early early.s.03 theologians theologian.n.01 , especially particularly.r.01 the Greek greek.n.01 speaking speak.v.03 ones . They speak talk.v.02 of the work work.n.01 of Christ jesus.n.01 as the bestowal bestowal.n.01 of incorruptibility incorruptibility.n.01 , which can mean entail.v.01 ( though it does not not.r.01 have to mean entail.v.01 ) deliverance rescue.n.01 from time time.n.05 and history history.n.04 . Death death.n.02 reminds remind.v.01 man man.n.03 of his sin sin.n.01 , but it reminds remind.v.01 him also besides.r.02 of his transience transience.n.01 . It represents typify.v.02 a punishment punishment.n.01 that he knows know.v.01 he deserves deserve.v.01 , but it also besides.r.02 symbolizes typify.v.02 most most.r.02 dramatically dramatically.r.01 that he lives live.v.02 his life life.n.05 within the process process.n.06 of time time.n.05 . These two two.s.01 aspects aspect.n.02 of death death.n.02 cannot be successfully successfully.r.01 separated distinguish.v.01 , but they dare not not.r.01 be confused confuse.v.01 or identified identify.v.06 . The repeated perennial.s.03 efforts attempt.n.01 in Christian christian.a.01 history history.n.01 to describe describe.v.01 death death.n.02 as altogether wholly.r.01 the consequence consequence.n.01 of human human.a.01 sin sin.n.01 show prove.v.02 that these two two.s.01 aspects aspect.n.02 of death death.n.02 cannot be separated distinguish.v.01 . Such such.s.01 efforts attempt.n.01 almost about.r.07 always always.r.01 find witness.v.02 themselves compelled compelled.s.00 to ask ask.v.01 whether Adam adam.n.01 was created create.v.02 capable capable.a.01 of growing turn.v.07 old old.a.01 and then then.r.01 older old.a.01 and then then.r.01 still even.r.03 older elder.s.01 , in short concisely.r.01 , whether Adam adam.n.01 's life life.n.03 was intended intend.v.01 to be be.v.01 part part.n.01 of the process process.n.06 of time time.n.05 .

The embarrassment embarrassment.n.03 of these theories hypothesis.n.02 over the naturalness naturalness.n.01 of death death.n.02 is be.v.01 an illustration example.n.01 of the thesis thesis.n.01 that death death.n.02 cannot be be.v.02 only entirely.r.02 a punishment punishment.n.01 , for some termination termination.n.01 seems look.v.02 necessary necessary.a.01 in a life life.n.03 that is lived live.v.02 within the natural order natural_order.n.01 of time time.n.05 and change change.n.01 .

It is be.v.02 the wages wages.n.01 of sin sin.n.01 , and its sting sting.n.01 is be.v.02 the law law.n.03 .

In his gym gymnasium.n.02 the professor professor.n.01 has have.v.01 some some.a.01 of the most most.r.01 `` knocked out '' equipment equipment.n.01 since Vic Tanny NE . Mr. Claude NE is be.v.02 a specialist specialist.n.01 in torso torso.n.01 development development.n.3;1 and he has long long.r.01 favored prefer.v.03 the now nowadays.r.01 famous celebrated.s.01 Weider Push-Pull Super-Set NE technique technique.n.01 in which one one.s.01 exercise exercise.n.01 of the Super-Set NE is be.v.02 a pressing press.n.09 or `` pushing push.n.01 '' movement motion.n.03 which accents stress.v.02 one one.s.01 sector sector.n.01 of a muscle muscle.n.01 group group.n.01 in a specific specific.a.01 way manner.n.01 , followed postdate.v.01 by a `` pulling pull.n.01 '' exercise exercise.n.01 which works exercise.v.03 the opposing opponent.s.01 sector sector.n.01 of the same same.a.01 muscle muscle.n.01 group group.n.01 . So right away immediately.r.01 Claude NE introduced introduce.v.01 Henri NE to his famous celebrated.s.01 `` moon moon.n.02 '' bench workbench.n.01 and proceeded continue.v.02 to teach teach.v.01 him his first first.a.01 Push-Pull Super-Set NE consisting of consist_of.v.00 the wide wide.a.01 grip clasp.n.02 Straight-Arm Pullover NE ( the `` pull pull.n.01 '' part part.n.01 of the Push-Pull Super-Set NE ) which dramatically dramatically.r.01 widens widen.v.03 the rib cage rib_cage.n.01 and strongly strongly.r.01 affects affect.v.02 the muscles muscle.n.01 of the upper upper.s.02 back back.n.01 and chest thorax.n.02 , and the collar-to-collar Bench Press bench_press.n.01 which specifically specifically.r.01 works on work.v.05 the chest thorax.n.02 to build build_up.v.02 those wide wide.a.01 , Reeves-type NE `` gladiator gladiator.n.01 '' pecs pectoral.n.01 , while stimulating stimulate.v.04 the upper upper.s.02 lats latissimus_dorsi.n.01 and frontal frontal.s.01 deltoids deltoid.n.01 . As you can see understand.v.02 , in this Push-Pull Super Set NE the entire entire.s.01 chest thorax.n.02 back back.n.01 shoulder shoulder.n.01 area area.n.03 is vigorously vigorously.r.01 exercised exercise.v.03 in alternate alternate.s.01 sectors sector.n.01 by alternate alternate.s.01 exercises exercise.n.01 , so so.r.04 the complete complete.a.01 torso torso.n.01 remains stay.v.01 pumped-up pumped-up.s.01 all the time day_in_and_day_out.r.01 ! Now nowadays.r.01 when Henri NE has completed complete.v.01 four four.s.01 complete complete.a.01 Push-Pull Super-Sets NE No. ordinal_number.n.01 1 one.n.01 , the professor professor.n.01 allows let.v.01 him about a five five.s.01 minute minute.n.01 rest rest.n.02 period time_period.n.01 before starting begin.v.03 him on four four.s.01 complete complete.a.01 Push-Pull Super-Sets NE No. ordinal_number.n.01 2 two.s.01 . Super-Set NE No. ordinal_number.n.01 2 two.n.01 is made up constitute.v.01 of similar similar.a.01 exercises exercise.n.01 , but this time time.n.01 done with dumbbells dumbbell.n.01 , and using use.v.01 both `` moon '' and flat benches flat_bench.n.01 . The `` push push.n.01 '' exercise exercise.n.01 of this Push-Pull Super-Set NE is be.v.02 the Bench Press bench_press.n.01 done with elbows elbow.n.01 well well.r.02 pulled pulled.a.00 back back.r.02 and with a greater big.s.13 downward downward.s.02 stretch stretch.n.04 of the pectorals pectoral.n.01 not not.r.01 possible possible.a.01 with the barbell barbell.n.01 variation variation.n.02 . The dumbbell dumbbell.n.01 variation variation.n.02 develops grow.v.08 a most most.r.02 classically classically.r.01 sculptured sculpt.v.01 outline outline.n.01 to the pecs pectoral.n.01 . The `` pull pull.n.01 '' exercise exercise.n.01 in this Super-Set NE is be.v.02 the one one.s.01 dumbbell dumbbell.n.01 Bent-Arm Pullover NE . ( Note how strongly strongly.r.01 the upper upper.s.02 lats latissimus_dorsi.n.01 and serratus serratus.n.01 are worked exercise.v.03 in this fine fine.s.06 exercise exercise.n.01 because of the pin point pinpoint.s.00 concentration concentration.n.01 of force force.n.02 which the dumbbell dumbbell.n.01 variation variation.n.02 affords yield.v.01 ) . In the third third.s.01 Push-Pull Super-Set NE the `` push push.n.01 '' exercise exercise.n.01 is be.v.02 the wide wide.a.01 grip clasp.n.02 Pushup Between Bars NE , while the `` pull pull.n.01 '' exercise exercise.n.01 is be.v.02 the Moon Bench Lateral Raise NE with bent bent.s.03 arms arm.n.01 . The Pushup pushup.n.01 done in this manner manner.n.01 is be.v.01 the greatest greatest.s.01 pectoral pectoral.n.01 rib cage rib_cage.n.01 stretcher stretch.n.04 ever ever.r.01 invented invent.v.01 ! This is be.v.01 true true.a.01 only entirely.r.02 if a very very.r.02 wide wide.a.01 grip clasp.n.02 is used use.v.01 and only entirely.r.02 when the greatest greatest.s.01 possible possible.a.01 stretch reach.n.03 is achieved achieve.v.01 . You 'll know know.v.01 when you 've made the greatest greatest.s.01 stretch reach.n.03 because your shoulder blades scapula.n.01 will touch touch.v.05 ! As you see understand.v.02 , the professor professor.n.01 has designed design.v.04 a piece piece.n.02 of apparatus apparatus.n.01 that forces impel.v.01 the bodybuilder bodybuilder.n.01 to use use.v.01 a wide wide.a.01 grip clasp.n.02 . He has to ; he just merely.r.01 can n't n't.r.00 do make.v.01 anything about it at all at_all.r.01 ! The last last.a.02 exercise exercise.n.01 of Roland Claude NE 's prescribed prescribed.s.01 program plan.n.01 for Henri NE is be.v.02 a single individual.a.01 exercise exercise.n.01 , done in individual individual.s.02 sets set.n.03 with a bit a_bit.r.01 longer long.a.01 pause pause.n.01 between sets set.n.03 . By this time time.n.01 Henri NE 's entire entire.s.01 chest thorax.n.02 back back.n.01 - lat latissimus_dorsi.n.01 shoulder shoulder.n.01 area area.n.03 is be.v.01 pumped-up pumped-up.s.01 to almost about.r.07 bursting burst.v.01 point degree.n.02 , and Claude NE takes take.v.02 time time.n.02 to do make.v.01 a bit a_bit.r.01 more more.s.00 pectoral pectoral.n.01 front front.n.04 deltoid deltoid.n.01 shaping shaping.n.01 work work.n.01 . He has get.v.03 Henri NE do perform.v.01 from four four.s.01 to six six.s.01 sets set.n.03 of the Incline Bench Press incline_bench_press.n.01 ( note note.v.03 the high high.a.02 incline ramp.n.01 ) . This gives give.v.09 a wide wide.a.01 flare flare.n.01 to the pecs pectoral.n.01 , causing cause.v.01 them to flow flow.v.01 dramatically dramatically.r.01 upward up.r.01 into deltoids deltoid.n.01 and dramatically dramatically.r.01 downward down.r.01 into the serratus serratus.n.01 and lats latissimus_dorsi.n.01 . This is constitute.v.01 the kind kind.n.01 of chest thorax.n.02 that invariably constantly.r.01 wins win.v.01 contests contest.n.01 that steel steel.n.01 edged edged.s.01 `` carved carved.a.01 out of solid solid.s.04 rock rock.n.01 '' looks look.n.03 of the great great.s.02 champions champion.n.01 . So with four four.s.01 complete complete.a.01 Push-Pull Super-Sets NE No. ordinal_number.n.01 1 one.n.01 , four four.s.01 of No. ordinal_number.n.01 2 two.n.01 , four four.s.01 of No. ordinal_number.n.01 3 three.n.01 and four four.s.01 to six six.s.01 sets set.n.03 of the Incline Bench Press incline_bench_press.n.01 , you can see understand.v.02 that Henri de Courcy NE has had experience.v.03 a terrific fantastic.s.02 mass bulk.n.02 building build_up.v.02 , muscle muscle.n.01 shaping shape.v.02 , torso torso.n.01 defining shaping.n.01 workout exercise.n.01 that cannot be improved better.v.02 upon .

This comes come.v.05 not not.r.01 alone entirely.r.02 from high-set , high-rep training training.n.01 , but from certain certain.s.01 definition definition.n.02 specialization specialization.n.01 exercises exercise.n.01 which the champion champion.n.01 selects choose.v.01 for himself with the knowledge cognition.n.01 of exactly precisely.r.01 what works work.v.03 best best.r.01 for him . Often frequently.r.01 these exercises exercise.n.01 work work.v.03 well well.r.01 for some bodybuilders bodybuilder.n.01 but less less.r.01 spectacularly spectacularly.r.01 for others . Because they are be.v.01 `` minority minority.n.02 '' exercises exercise.n.01 and have have.v.02 but a limited limited.a.01 appeal appeal.n.02 they soon soon.r.01 find witness.v.02 themselves in the limbo oblivion.n.01 of the forgotten disregarded.s.01 . Only only.r.06 when the newest new.a.01 Mr. America NE or Mr. Universe NE rediscovers rediscover.v.01 them and puts put.v.04 them into practice drill.v.03 are we reacquainted reacquaint.v.01 with them and once again again.r.01 see learn.v.02 how effective effective.s.02 they really actually.r.01 are be.v.01 . The exercise exercise.n.01 I shall discuss discourse.v.01 in this - the first first.s.02 of a new new.a.01 series series.n.01 of articles article.n.01 on muscle muscle.n.01 definition definition.n.02 specialization specialization.n.01 of a particular particular.s.06 body part body_part.n.01 - is be.v.02 the One Leg Lunge NE . Why it was ever ever.r.01 forgotten forget.v.01 for even even.r.01 a moment moment.n.02 I cannot say suppose.v.01 because it works work.v.03 perfectly perfectly.r.02 for everyone , no matter regardless.r.01 whether he has have.v.02 short short.a.02 or long long.a.02 thigh-bone femur.n.01 lengths length.n.01 ! It is be.v.02 the one matchless.s.01 exercise exercise.n.01 that drastically drastically.r.01 influences determine.v.02 the definition definition.n.02 of the thighs thigh.n.01 at the hipline hipline.n.01 - that mark marker.n.02 of the champion champion.n.01 that sets set.v.05 him apart apart.r.03 from all other other.a.01 bodybuilders bodybuilder.n.01 - a criterion criterion.n.02 of muscle muscle.n.01 `` drama drama.n.04 '' that is that_is.r.00 unforgettable unforgettable.a.01 to judges evaluator.n.01 and audiences audience.n.01 alike alike.r.01 - the facet aspect.n.01 of muscular muscular.a.01 development growth.n.01 that wins acquire.v.05 prizes prize.n.01 . Definition definition.n.02 of the thighs thigh.n.01 at the uppermost topmost.s.01 part part.n.01 is quite quite.r.01 commonly normally.r.01 seen see.v.01 in most most.a.01 championship championship.n.01 Olympic olympic.a.01 lifters weightlifter.n.01 which is be.v.01 easily easily.r.01 understandable apprehensible.s.01 .

Really actually.r.01 there is exist.v.01 no reason reason.n.01 why this fine fine.s.06 exercise exercise.n.01 should not not.r.01 find its way into your leg leg.n.01 program plan.n.01 at all all.a.01 times time.n.01 , for the following following.s.01 suggestions suggestion.n.02 show show.v.12 why it is be.v.01 so so.r.01 effective effective.s.02 : It 's a complete complete.a.01 thigh thigh.n.01 contraction contraction.n.01 extension extension.n.05 exercise exercise.n.01 . It places put.v.01 terrific fantastic.s.02 tension tension.n.02 on the leg leg.n.01 muscles muscle.n.01 from start to finish from_start_to_finish.r.01 of each repetition repetition.n.02 . It improves better.v.02 over-all overall.s.02 balance balance.n.01 and control control.n.03 for the bodybuilder bodybuilder.n.01 , and helps help.v.03 to make make.v.02 Squats knee_bend.n.01 more more.r.02 easily easily.r.01 and more more.r.02 correctly correctly.r.01 performed perform.v.02 . It increases increase.v.02 flexibility flexibility.n.01 of the legs leg.n.01 . It speeds accelerate.v.01 muscle muscle.n.01 growth growth.n.01 and power might.n.01 development growth.n.01 even even.r.01 for the advanced advanced.s.02 bodybuilder bodybuilder.n.01 because each hip hip.n.01 and leg leg.n.01 is exercised exercise.v.04 separately individually.r.01 , thus thus.r.02 enabling enable.v.01 a massive massive.s.01 , concentrated concentrated.s.03 effort effort.n.02 to be focused on focus_on.v.01 each . Place put.v.01 your Power Stands NE in position position.n.01 and adjust adjust.v.01 their height height.n.01 so that this will correspond match.v.01 to the height height.n.01 of your shoulders shoulder.n.01 when you are be.v.03 in a deep deep.a.03 leg leg.n.01 split split.n.01 as for a heavy heavy.a.01 Clean clean_and_jerk.n.01 . Place put.v.01 a suitably appropriately.r.01 loaded laden.s.01 barbell barbell.n.01 across them ; grasp grasp.v.01 the bar bar.n.03 ( which will rest rest.n.06 against the back back.s.02 of your neck neck.n.01 ) ; extend stretch.v.02 your feet foot.n.01 forward forward.r.01 and backward backward.r.02 until you are be.v.03 in a deep deep.a.03 leg leg.n.01 split split.n.01 . Now now.r.03 raise raise.v.02 the weight weight.n.02 by straightening straighten.v.01 your front front.a.01 leg leg.n.01 , without moving move.v.02 your feet foot.n.01 . When the front front.a.01 knee knee.n.01 is be.v.01 straight straight.a.02 and locked lock.v.03 , allow let.v.01 it to bend bend.v.01 again again.r.01 until you feel feel.v.03 the bar bar.n.03 come come.v.21 lightly lightly.r.02 into contact contact.n.02 with the sides side.n.04 of the Power Stands NE . After you have taken a breather rest.v.02 , reverse turn_back.v.05 the position position.n.04 of your legs leg.n.01 so that the front front.a.01 thigh thigh.n.01 of the previous previous.s.01 exercise exercise.n.01 is be.v.03 now nowadays.r.01 to the rear rear.n.02 , and the rear rear.s.01 thigh thigh.n.01 now nowadays.r.01 to the front front.a.01 , and perform perform.v.01 the same same.a.01 movement motion.n.03 in the same same.a.01 manner manner.n.01 . That 's the One-Leg Lunge NE in a nutshell . You should have have.v.07 a couple of a_few.s.01 training training.n.01 partners collaborator.n.03 to stand by stand_by.v.02 when you make make.v.01 your first first.a.01 experiments experiment.n.03 , just merely.r.01 for safety safety.n.01 . You should also besides.r.02 begin begin.v.03 this exercise exercise.n.01 with a very very.r.01 light light.a.01 barbell barbell.n.01 until you become accustomed accustomed.a.01 to it balance wise . Oh , you 'll wobble wobble.v.01 and weave waver.v.06 quite quite.r.01 a bit a_bit.r.01 at first at_first.r.00 . Before your first first.a.01 training training.n.01 experiment experiment.n.03 has ended end.v.01 there will be be.v.05 a big large.a.01 improvement improvement.n.03 and almost about.r.07 before you know know.v.01 it you 'll be raising raise.v.02 and lowering lower.v.01 yourself just precisely.r.01 like a veteran veteran.n.03 ! Although I suggested propose.v.01 that you hold hold.v.02 the bar bar.n.03 at the back back.a.01 of the neck neck.n.01 there 's no reason reason.n.01 why you should n't n't.r.00 make make.v.01 some experiments experiment.n.03 with the bar bar.n.03 held hold.v.02 in front of the neck neck.n.01 . Squat style lifters weightlifter.n.01 and leg leg.n.01 split split.n.01 lifters weightlifter.n.01 would both benefit profit.v.01 enormously enormously.r.01 by practicing drill.v.03 those variations variation.n.02 providing that they remember remember.v.02 to make make.v.01 alternate alternate.s.01 sets set.n.03 with the left left.a.01 and right right.a.01 leg leg.n.01 to the front front.a.01 . The most most.r.01 beautiful beautiful.a.01 bed bed.n.02 of pansies pansy.n.01 I 've seen see.v.01 was be.v.03 in a South Dakota south_dakota.n.01 yard yard.n.02 on a sizzling sizzling.s.01 day day.n.03 . Pansies pansy.n.01 are be.v.01 supposed conjectural.s.01 to like like.v.2;5 it cool cool.a.01 , but those great great.s.01 velvety velvet.s.01 flowers flower.n.01 were be.v.01 healthy healthy.a.01 and perky buoyant.s.02 in the glaring blazing.s.01 sun sunlight.n.01 . I sought out seek_out.v.01 the gardener gardener.n.01 and asked ask.v.01 him what he did make.v.01 to produce grow.v.07 such such.s.01 beauties beauty.n.03 in that weather weather.n.01 . He seemed look.v.02 puzzled perplex.v.01 by my question question.n.01 . `` I just merely.r.01 love love.v.01 them '' , he said state.v.01 . The more more.r.02 I talked talk.v.01 with him , the more more.r.01 convinced convinced.s.01 I became become.v.01 that that was be.v.02 the secret secret.n.01 of their riotous exuberant.s.03 blooming blooming.n.01 . He planted plant.v.01 the pansy pansy.n.01 seeds seed.n.01 himself , buying buy.v.01 them from a pansy pansy.n.01 specialist specialist.n.01 . These specialists specialist.n.01 , I learned learn.v.02 , have done make.v.01 a great deal batch.n.02 of work study.n.02 to improve better.v.02 the size size.n.01 and health health.n.01 of the plants plant.n.02 and the resulting resulting.s.00 flowers flower.n.01 .

I asked ask.v.01 him if he took take.v.04 seeds seed.n.01 from his own own.s.01 plants plant.n.02 . Occasionally occasionally.r.01 , when he had have.v.01 an unusual unusual.a.01 flower flower.n.01 that he wanted desire.v.01 more more.n.01 of he did ; but pansy pansy.n.01 seeds seed.n.01 , he told state.v.01 me , soon soon.r.01 `` run down poop_out.v.01 '' . It 's be.v.01 best best.a.01 to buy buy.v.01 them fresh fresh.a.01 from a dealer trader.n.01 who is working work.v.01 to improve better.v.02 them . His soil soil.n.02 was be.v.01 `` nothing nothing.n.01 special special.s.02 '' , just merely.r.01 prairie prairie.n.01 land land.n.02 , but he had harrowed harrow.v.01 in compost compost.n.01 until it was be.v.01 loose loose.a.01 , spongy spongy.s.01 and brown brown.s.01 black black.a.01 . I fingered feel.v.09 it and had experience.v.03 the feeling feeling.n.04 of adequacy sufficiency.n.03 that comes with attach_to.v.01 the right correct.s.02 texture texture.n.01 , tilth tilth.n.01 and body consistency.n.01 . It is be.v.01 n't n't.r.00 easy easy.a.01 to describe describe.v.01 it , but every gardener gardener.n.01 knows know.v.02 it when his fingers finger.n.01 touch touch.v.01 such such.s.01 soil soil.n.02 . They germinate shoot.v.19 quickly quickly.r.01 , the tiny bantam.s.01 plants plant.n.02 appearing appear.v.02 in a week week.n.01 , and grow grow.v.03 along along.r.01 lustily lustily.r.01 . It does n't n't.r.00 really actually.r.01 matter count.v.02 which month calendar_month.n.01 of the year year.n.01 you sow sow.v.01 them , but they germinate shoot.v.19 best best.r.01 when they have experience.v.03 a wide across-the-board.s.01 variation variation.n.01 of temperature temperature.n.01 , very very.r.02 warm warm.a.01 followed postdate.v.01 by cool cool.a.01 in the same same.a.01 24 twenty-four.s.01 hours hour.n.01 . I like like.v.02 to make make.v.03 a seedbed seedbed.n.01 right right.r.01 in the open outdoors.n.01 , though many many.a.01 people people.n.01 start originate.v.02 them successfully successfully.r.01 in cold frames cold_frame.n.01 . Pansies pansy.n.01 do n't n't.r.00 have to be coddled pamper.v.01 ; they 'd rather preferably.r.01 have things matter.n.01 rugged rugged.a.01 , with only merely.r.01 moderate moderate.a.01 protection protective_covering.n.01 on the coldest cold.a.01 days day.n.03 . If you do use use.v.01 a cold frame cold_frame.n.01 be be.v.01 sure certain.s.07 that its ventilation ventilation.n.01 is be.v.01 adequate adequate.a.01 . For my seedbed seedbed.n.01 I use use.v.01 good good.a.01 garden garden.n.01 soil soil.n.02 with a little little.a.02 sand sand.n.01 added added.a.00 to encourage promote.v.01 rooting rooting.n.01 .

A light light.s.09 , porous porous.s.01 mulch mulch.n.01 applied put_on.v.07 now now.r.01 keeps keep.v.01 the roots root.n.01 cool cool.a.01 and the soil soil.n.02 soft soft.a.01 during these early early.a.01 days day.n.03 of growth growth.n.01 . I like like.v.02 sawdust sawdust.n.01 for this , or hay hay.n.01 . When they have have.v.02 4 four.s.01 to 6 six.s.01 leaves leaf.n.01 and are be.v.01 thrifty thrifty.a.01 little small.a.01 plants plant.n.02 , it 's be.v.02 time time.n.04 to set plant.v.01 them out where they are to remain stay.v.04 . Every time time.n.01 you transplant transplant.v.01 a pansy pansy.n.01 you cause induce.v.02 its flowers flower.n.01 to become become.v.01 smaller smaller.s.01 . The moral moral.n.01 is be.v.02 : do n't n't.r.00 transplant transplant.v.01 it any oftener than you must . As soon as they are be.v.01 large large.a.01 enough enough.r.01 to move move.v.02 , I put put.v.01 mine 9 nine.s.01 inches column_inch.n.01 apart apart.r.01 where they are to bloom bloom.v.01 . I put put.v.01 a little small.a.01 scoop scoop.n.01 of pulverized powdered.s.01 phosphate phosphate.n.01 rock rock.n.01 or steamed steamed.s.01 bone meal bonemeal.n.01 into each hole hole.n.01 with the plant plant.n.02 . That encourages promote.v.01 rooting rooting.n.01 , and the better better.r.01 developed developed.a.01 the roots root.n.01 , the larger large.a.01 and more more.r.01 plentiful ample.s.02 the flowers flower.n.01 . I doubt doubt.v.01 if it is be.v.01 possible possible.a.01 to overfeed overfeed.v.01 them . I spade spade.v.01 lots batch.n.02 of compost compost.n.01 into their bed bed.n.02 ; lacking miss.v.06 that , decayed decayed.s.01 manure manure.n.01 spread over cover.v.02 the bed bed.n.02 is be.v.01 fine all_right.s.01 . One one.s.01 year year.n.01 I simply merely.r.01 set plant.v.01 the plants plant.n.02 in the remains remains.n.01 of a compost compost.n.01 pile pile.n.03 , to which a little a_bit.r.01 sand sand.n.01 had been added add.v.01 , and I had have.v.01 the most most.r.01 beautiful beautiful.a.01 pansies pansy.n.01 in my , or any any.s.01 of my neighbors neighbor.n.01 ' experience experience.n.02 . In addition in_addition.r.00 to the rich fat.s.05 soil soil.n.02 they benefit profit.v.01 by feedings eating.n.01 of manure manure.n.01 water water.n.01 every other every_other.s.00 week week.n.01 , diluted dilute.v.01 to the color color.n.01 of weak watery.s.04 tea tea.n.01 .

They need want.v.02 mulch mulch.n.01 . We put put.v.01 a light light.s.09 mulch mulch.n.01 over the seedlings seedling.n.01 ; now nowadays.r.01 we must use use.v.01 a heavy clayey.s.02 one . Three three.s.01 inches column_inch.n.01 of porous porous.s.01 material material.n.01 will do make.v.01 a good good.a.01 job job.n.02 of keeping keep.v.01 weeds weed.n.01 down down.r.01 and the soil soil.n.02 moist damp.s.01 and cool cool.a.01 . When winter winter.n.01 comes come.v.03 be be.v.01 ready ready.a.01 with additional extra.s.03 mulch mulch.n.01 . That keeps in keep_in.v.01 the cold coldness.n.03 , retains retain.v.04 moisture moisture.n.01 and prevents prevent.v.01 the heaving billow.v.03 of alternate alternate.s.03 freezing freeze.n.01 and thawing thaw.n.01 . Do n't n't.r.00 miss miss.v.01 the pansies pansy.n.01 that appear appear.v.02 from time to time occasionally.r.01 through the winter winter.n.01 . Whenever there is be.v.05 a thaw thaw.n.01 or a few a_few.s.01 sunny cheery.s.01 days day.n.03 , you 'll be be.v.01 likely likely.a.01 to find find.v.01 a brave audacious.s.01 little small.a.01 blossom flower.n.02 or two two.s.01 . If those are be.v.01 n't n't.r.00 enough enough.r.01 for you , why not not.r.01 grow grow.v.04 some just merely.r.01 for winter winter.n.01 blooming blooming.n.01 ? The pansies pansy.n.01 I cherished care_for.v.02 most most.n.00 bloomed bloom.v.01 for me in February february.n.01 during a particularly particularly.r.01 cold cold.a.01 winter winter.n.01 . I started originate.v.02 the seed seed.n.01 in a flat flat.n.02 in June june.n.01 and set out range.v.05 the little little.s.03 pansies pansy.n.01 in a cold frame cold_frame.n.01 . ( An unheated unheated.s.01 greenhouse greenhouse.n.01 would have been be.v.01 better better.a.01 , if I had had have.v.01 one . ) The plants plant.n.02 took take.v.19 zero zero.s.01 nights night.n.01 in in_stride.r.01 their stride , with nothing nothing.n.01 but a mat mat.n.01 of straw straw.n.01 over the glass glass.n.01 to protect protect.v.01 them . In response response.n.01 to the lengthening lengthening.s.00 days day.n.04 of February february.n.01 they budded bud.v.02 , then then.r.01 bloomed bloom.v.01 their 4 four.s.01 - inch column_inch.n.01 velvety velvet.s.01 flowers flower.n.01 . Like strawberries strawberry.n.01 in December december.n.01 , pansies pansy.n.01 are be.v.01 far far.r.01 more more.r.01 exciting exciting.a.01 in February february.n.01 than in May may.n.01 .

It is be.v.01 more more.r.01 than just merely.r.01 lack lack.n.01 of dance dance.n.01 training training.n.01 that is our problem problem.n.01 , for just precisely.r.01 as gymnastics gymnastics.n.01 can learn learn.v.01 from dance dance.n.01 , dance dance.n.01 has have.v.01 some very very.r.01 important important.a.01 things thing.n.10 to learn learn.v.01 from gymnastics gymnastics.n.01 . Taking consider.v.03 first first.a.01 things thing.n.03 first first.r.01 , let 's understand understand.v.01 the sport sport.n.2;1 called called.s.00 gymnastics gymnastics.n.01 .

In a series serial.n.01 of fairy tales fairytale.n.01 and fantasies fantasy.n.02 , Melies NE demonstrated prove.v.02 that the film film.n.02 is be.v.01 superbly wonderfully.r.01 equipped equipped.a.01 to tell tell.v.03 a straightforward square.s.05 story narrative.n.01 , with beginning beginning.n.03 , middle middle.n.02 and end end.n.05 , complications complication.n.01 , resolutions resolution.n.04 , climaxes climax.n.02 , and conclusions termination.n.05 . Immediately immediately.r.01 , the film film.n.02 improved better.v.03 and it improved better.v.03 because in narrative narrative.n.01 it found discover.v.03 a content message.n.02 based establish.v.08 on time time.n.05 to complement complement.v.01 its own own.s.01 unbreakable unbreakable.a.01 connection connection.n.02 with time time.n.05 .

A Southerner southerner.n.01 married marry.v.01 to a New Englander new_englander.n.01 , I have lived populate.v.01 for many many.a.01 years year.n.01 in a Connecticut connecticut.n.01 commuting commutation.n.01 town town.n.01 with a high high.a.01 percentage percentage.n.01 of artists artist.n.01 , writers writer.n.01 , publicity men press_agent.n.01 , and business executives corporate_executive.n.01 of egghead egghead.n.01 tastes preference.n.01 . Most of them are be.v.02 Democrats democrat.n.01 and nearly about.r.07 all consider see.v.05 themselves , and are viewed as deem.v.01 , liberals liberal.n.01 . This is be.v.01 puzzling enigmatic.s.01 to an outsider foreigner.n.02 conscious conscious.s.03 of the classic classical.s.05 tradition tradition.n.01 of liberalism liberalism.n.02 , because it is be.v.01 clear clear.a.01 that these Democrats democrat.n.01 who are be.v.01 left-of-center leftist.s.01 are be.v.03 at opposite opposite.s.01 poles pole.n.03 from the liberal liberal.a.03 Jefferson NE , who held deem.v.01 that the best best.a.01 government government.n.02 was be.v.02 the least least.a.01 government government.n.02 . Yet paradoxically paradoxically.r.01 my liberal liberal.a.03 friends friend.n.01 continue continue.v.01 to view see.v.05 Jefferson NE as one one.s.01 of their patron saints patron_saint.n.01 . When I question question.v.03 them as to what they mean think_of.v.04 by concepts concept.n.01 like liberty autonomy.n.01 and democracy democracy.n.01 , I find detect.v.01 that they fall into fall_into.v.01 two two.s.01 categories class.n.01 : the simpler childlike.s.02 ones who have simply merely.r.01 accepted accept.v.01 the shibboleths motto.n.01 of their faith faith.n.02 without analysis analysis.n.02 ; and the intelligent intelligent.s.02 , cynical cynical.s.01 ones who scornfully contemptuously.r.01 reply answer.v.01 that these things matter.n.01 do n't n't.r.00 count count.v.02 any more anymore.r.01 in the world world.n.03 of to-day today.n.01 . I am be.v.01 naive naive.a.01 , they say allege.v.01 , to make make.v.01 use use.n.01 of such such.s.01 words word.n.01 . I take take.v.06 this to mean entail.v.01 that the intelligent intelligent.s.02 - and therefore therefore.r.01 necessarily necessarily.r.01 cynical cynical.s.01 ? This seems look.v.02 like an attitude attitude.n.01 favoring prefer.v.03 a sort kind.n.01 of totalitarian totalitarian.s.01 bureaucracy bureaucracy.n.01 which , under a President president.n.03 of the same same.a.01 stamp stamp.n.02 , would try try.v.01 to coerce coerce.v.01 an uncooperative uncooperative.a.01 Congress congress.n.01 or Supreme Court supreme_court.n.01 . As for states state.n.01 ' rights right.n.01 , they have never never.r.01 counted count.v.02 in the thinking thinking.n.01 of my liberal liberal.n.01 friends friend.n.01 except as irritations irritation.n.01 of a minor minor.a.03 and immoral base.s.04 nature nature.n.01 which exist exist.v.01 now nowadays.r.01 only merely.r.01 as anachronisms anachronism.n.01 . The American american.a.01 liberal liberal.n.01 may , in the world world.n.03 of to-day today.n.01 , have have.v.01 a strong strong.a.01 case case.n.09 ; but he presents present.v.02 it publicly publicly.r.01 so so.r.01 enmeshed enmesh.v.01 in hypocrisy hypocrisy.n.01 that it is be.v.01 not not.r.01 an honest dependable.s.02 one one.s.01 . Why , in the first place in_the_first_place.r.01 , call call.v.02 himself a liberal liberal.n.02 if he is be.v.01 against laissez-faire individualism.n.03 and favors prefer.v.03 an authoritarian authoritarian.s.01 central central.a.02 government government.n.01 with womb-to-tomb lifelong.s.01 controls control.n.02 over everybody ? If he attaches attach.v.01 little little.a.02 importance importance.n.01 to personal personal.s.02 liberty autonomy.n.01 , why not not.r.01 make make.v.03 this known known.a.01 to the world populace.n.01 ? And if he is be.v.01 so so.r.01 scornful contemptuous.s.01 of the rights right.n.01 of states state.n.01 , why why.r.00 not not.r.01 advocate recommend.v.01 a different different.s.02 sort kind.n.01 of constitution fundamental_law.n.01 that he could more more.r.01 sincerely sincerely.r.01 support subscribe.v.03 ? I am concerned concern.v.02 here here.r.02 , however however.r.01 , with the Northern northern.a.01 liberal liberal.n.01 's attitude attitude.n.01 toward the South south.n.01 . It appears look.v.02 to be be.v.01 one one.s.01 of intense intense.a.01 dislike disfavor.n.02 , which he makes make.v.01 little little.a.02 effort attempt.n.01 to conceal hide.v.01 even even.r.01 in the presence presence.n.02 of Southern southern.a.01 friends friend.n.01 .

This , for the liberals liberal.n.01 I know know.v.04 , would be be.v.02 an understatement understatement.n.01 .

The low low.a.01 intensity intensity.n.01 of the radiation radiation.n.02 from Saturn saturn.n.01 has limited limited.a.01 observations observation.n.01 , but again again.r.01 the measured careful.s.03 radiation radiation.n.02 seems look.v.02 to be be.v.01 consistent consistent.a.01 with a thermal thermal.a.01 origin beginning.n.04 . No attempts attempt.n.01 to measure quantify.v.02 the radio emission radio_wave.n.01 of the remaining leftover.s.01 planets planet.n.01 have been reported report.v.02 , and , because of their distances distance.n.01 , small small.a.01 diameters diameter.n.01 , or low temperatures coldness.n.03 , the thermal thermal.a.01 radiation radiation.n.02 at radio radio.a.01 wave lengths wavelength.n.01 reaching reach.v.01 the earth earth.n.01 from these sources beginning.n.04 is expected expect.v.01 to be be.v.01 of very very.r.01 low low.a.01 intensity intensity.n.01 . In spite of this , the very very.r.01 large large.a.01 radio reflectors radio_telescope.n.01 and improved better.v.02 amplifying magnify.v.01 techniques technique.n.01 which are now nowadays.r.01 becoming become.v.01 available available.a.01 should make make.v.02 it possible possible.a.01 to observe detect.v.01 the radio emission radio_wave.n.01 of most of the planets planet.n.01 in a few a_few.s.01 years year.n.01 . The study survey.n.01 of the radio emission radio_wave.n.01 of the moon moon.n.01 and planets planet.n.01 began get_down.v.07 with the detection detection.n.02 of the thermal thermal.a.01 radiation radiation.n.02 of the moon moon.n.01 at 1.25 - cm centimeter.n.01 wave length wavelength.n.01 by Dicke NE and Beringer NE ( 1946 ) . This was followed postdate.v.01 by a comprehensive comprehensive.a.01 series series.n.01 of observations observation.n.01 of the 1.25 - cm centimeter.n.01 emission emission.n.01 of the moon moon.n.01 over three three.s.01 lunar lunar.a.01 cycles cycle.n.01 by Piddington NE and Minnett NE ( 1949 ) . They deduced deduce.v.01 from their measurements measurement.n.01 that the radio emission radio_wave.n.01 from the whole whole.a.01 disk disk.n.01 of the moon moon.n.01 varied deviate.v.02 during a lunation lunar_month.n.01 in a roughly approximately.r.01 sinusoidal sinusoidal.s.01 fashion fashion.n.02 ; that the amplitude amplitude.n.01 of the variation variation.n.01 was be.v.01 considerably well.r.07 less than the amplitude amplitude.n.01 of the variation variation.n.01 in the infrared emission infrared.n.02 as measured measure.v.03 by Pettit NE and Nicholson NE ( 1930 ) and Pettit NE ( 1935 ) ; and that the maximum maximum.n.01 of the radio emission radio_wave.n.01 came come.v.03 about approximately.r.01 3 three.s.01 - 1 2 days day.n.01 after Full Moon full_moon.n.01 , which is be.v.01 again again.r.01 in contrast contrast.n.01 to the infrared emission infrared.n.02 , which reaches reach.v.02 its maximum maximum.n.01 at Full Moon full_moon.n.01 . The infrared emission infrared.n.02 could then then.r.02 be assumed assume.v.01 to originate originate.v.01 at the surface surface.n.01 of the moon moon.n.01 , while the radio emission radio_wave.n.01 originates originate.v.01 at some depth depth.n.01 beneath the surface surface.n.01 , where the temperature temperature.n.01 variation variation.n.01 due to due_to.s.00 solar radiation solar_radiation.n.01 is reduced reduce.v.01 in amplitude amplitude.n.01 and shifted transfer.v.04 in phase phase.n.03 . Since the absorption absorption.n.02 of radio waves radio_wave.n.01 in rocklike granitic.s.02 material material.n.01 varies deviate.v.02 with wave length wavelength.n.01 , it should be be.v.01 possible possible.a.01 to sample sample.v.01 the temperature temperature.n.01 variation variation.n.01 at different different.a.01 depths depth.n.01 beneath the surface surface.n.01 and possibly possibly.r.01 detect detect.v.01 changes change.n.02 in the structure structure.n.01 or composition constitution.n.04 of the lunar lunar.a.01 surface surface.n.01 material material.n.01 . The radio emission radio_wave.n.01 of a planet planet.n.01 was first first.r.02 detected detect.v.01 in 1955 , when Burke NE and Franklin NE ( 1955 ) identified identify.v.01 the origin beginning.n.04 of interference noise.n.03 like radio noise radio_noise.n.01 on their records record.n.01 at about approximately.r.01 15 fifteen.s.01 meters meter.n.01 wave length wavelength.n.01 as emission emission.n.01 from Jupiter jupiter.n.01 . This sporadic sporadic.a.01 type type.n.01 of planetary planetal.a.01 radiation radiation.n.02 is discussed discourse.v.01 by Burke NE ( chap. 13 ) and Gallet NE ( chap. 14 ) . Steady steady.a.01 radiation radiation.n.02 which was be.v.01 presumably presumably.r.01 of thermal thermal.a.01 origin beginning.n.04 was observed detect.v.01 from Venus venus.n.01 at 3.15 and 9.4 cm centimeter.n.01 , and from Mars mars.n.01 and Jupiter jupiter.n.01 at 3.15 cm centimeter.n.01 in 1956 ( Mayer NE , McCullough NE , and Sloanaker NE , 1958 a , b , c ) , and from Saturn saturn.n.01 at 3.75 cm centimeter.n.01 in 1957 ( Drake NE and Ewen NE , 1958 ) . In the relatively relatively.r.01 short short.a.01 time time.n.02 since these early early.a.01 observations observation.n.01 , Venus venus.n.01 has been observed detect.v.01 at additional extra.s.03 wave lengths wavelength.n.01 in the range scope.n.01 from 0.8 to 10.2 cm centimeter.n.01 , and Jupiter jupiter.n.01 has been observed detect.v.01 over the wave-length wavelength.n.01 range scope.n.01 from 3.03 to 68 cm centimeter.n.01 . The observable discernible.s.03 characteristics feature.n.01 of planetary planetal.a.01 radio radiation radio_wave.n.01 are be.v.02 the intensity intensity.n.01 , the polarization polarization.n.01 , and the direction direction.n.01 of arrival arrival.n.01 of the waves wave.n.03 . The maximum maximal.a.01 angular angular.a.01 diameter diameter.n.01 of any planetary planetal.a.01 disk disk.n.01 as observed detect.v.01 from the earth earth.n.01 is be.v.01 about approximately.r.01 1 one.s.01 minute of arc minute.n.04 . This is be.v.01 much much.r.01 smaller smaller.s.01 than the highest highest.s.00 resolution resolving_power.n.01 of even even.r.01 the very very.r.01 large large.a.01 reflectors reflector.n.01 now nowadays.r.01 under construction construction.n.01 , and consequently consequently.r.01 the radio emission radio_wave.n.01 of different different.a.01 regions region.n.01 of the disk disk.n.01 cannot be resolved resolve.v.05 . Measurements measurement.n.01 of polarization polarization.n.01 are presently presently.r.02 limited specify.v.02 by apparatus apparatus.n.01 sensitivity sensitivity.n.02 and will remain stay.v.01 difficult difficult.a.01 because of the low low.a.01 intensity intensity.n.01 of the planetary planetal.a.01 radiation radiation.n.01 at the earth earth.n.01 . There have been be.v.05 few few.a.01 measurements measurement.n.01 specifically specifically.r.01 for the determination determination.n.01 of the polarization polarization.n.01 of planetary planetal.a.01 radiation radiation.n.01 .

Recent recent.s.01 interferometer interferometer.n.01 measurements measurement.n.01 ( Radhakrishnan NE and Roberts NE , 1960 ) have shown read.v.08 the 960 - Mc megahertz.n.01 emission emission.n.01 of Jupiter jupiter.n.01 to be be.v.01 partially partially.r.01 polarized polarize.v.01 and to originate in originate_in.v.01 a region region.n.01 of larger bigger.s.01 diameter diameter.n.01 than the visible visible.a.01 disk disk.n.01 .

Once once.r.02 she has made up her mind decide.v.01 , the queen queen.n.01 starts out depart.v.03 by constructing construct.v.01 , in her chosen chosen.s.00 abode dwelling.n.01 , a small small.a.01 `` floor floor.n.01 '' of dried dried.s.01 grass grass.n.01 or some woolly flocculent.s.01 material material.n.01 . On this , she builds construct.v.01 an `` egg egg.n.01 compartment compartment.n.01 '' or `` egg egg.n.01 cell cell.n.01 '' which is filled filled.s.01 with that famous celebrated.s.01 pollen pollen.n.01 and nectar nectar.n.01 mixture concoction.n.01 called called.s.00 beebread beebread.n.01 . She also besides.r.02 builds construct.v.01 one one.s.01 or two two.s.01 waxen waxen.a.01 cups cup.n.03 which she fills fill.v.01 with honey honey.n.01 .

The broods brood.n.01 of workers worker.n.03 that appear appear.v.02 later subsequently.r.01 tend tend.v.01 to be be.v.01 bigger bigger.s.01 than the first first.s.02 ones , probably probably.r.01 because they are better better.r.01 fed feed.v.01 . By the middle in-between.s.01 of the summer summer.n.01 , many of the larvae larva.n.01 apparently apparently.r.01 receive receive.v.01 such such.r.01 a good good.a.01 diet diet.n.01 that it is be.v.01 `` optimal optimum.s.01 '' , and it is then then.r.03 that young young.a.01 queens queen.n.01 begin get_down.v.07 to appear appear.v.02 .

It is be.v.01 an amazing amazing.s.01 fact fact.n.01 that in some some.a.01 species species.n.01 this will happen happen.v.01 while the summer summer.n.01 is be.v.01 still still.r.01 in full swing in_full_swing.s.00 , for instance for_example.r.01 , in August august.n.01 .

As a result consequence.n.01 , the proportion proportion.n.01 of males male.n.01 ( which leave leave.v.01 the nest nest.n.01 ) increases increase.v.01 , and eventually finally.r.01 the old old.a.02 colony colony.n.02 will die out die_out.v.01 completely completely.r.02 .

It is be.v.01 very very.r.01 unlikely unlikely.a.02 that either of these anacondas anaconda.n.01 was growing grow.v.03 at a normal normal.a.01 rate rate.n.01 . In 1948 , Afranio do Amaral NE , the noted celebrated.s.01 Brazilian brazilian.a.01 herpetologist herpetologist.n.01 , wrote publish.v.03 a technical technical.a.02 paper composition.n.08 on the giant elephantine.s.01 snakes snake.n.01 . He concluded reason.v.01 that the anaconda anaconda.n.01 's maximum maximal.a.01 length length.n.01 is be.v.01 12 twelve.s.01 or 13 thirteen.s.01 ( perhaps possibly.r.01 14 fourteen.s.01 ) meters meter.n.01 , which would approximate approximate.v.01 from 39 to 42 feet foot.n.02 ( 14 fourteen.s.01 meters meter.n.01 is be.v.05 slightly slightly.r.01 less less.a.01 that 46 feet foot.n.02 ) . Thus therefore.r.01 , his estimate estimate.n.01 lies lie.v.01 between Oliver NE 's suggestion suggestion.n.02 of at least at_least.r.02 37 feet foot.n.02 and the 50 fifty.s.01 - foot foot.n.02 `` monstrous monstrous.s.01 freaks freak.n.01 '' intimated suggest.v.03 by Heuvelmans NE . However however.r.01 , as a field field.n.03 measurement measurement.n.01 , it is be.v.01 open to open_to.s.00 question question.n.01 .

In this instance example.n.01 , because of incomplete incomplete.a.01 septation septation.n.01 , the secondary secondary.a.01 lobule lobule.n.01 does not not.r.01 constitute constitute.v.01 in itself what appears look.v.02 to be be.v.01 a small small.a.01 individual individual.a.01 lung lung.n.01 as in type type.n.01 1 one.s.01 , . Air air.n.01 drifts drift.n.01 from one one.s.01 area area.n.03 to another another.s.01 are be.v.01 , therefore therefore.r.01 , conceivable conceivable.s.01 . This relationship relationship.n.01 , however however.r.01 , is not not.r.01 maintained keep.v.01 centrally centrally.r.01 .

The bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 in its course course.n.03 and distribution distribution.n.02 differs differ.v.01 somewhat slightly.r.01 from that found detect.v.01 in other other.a.01 mammals mammal.n.01 . As seen witness.v.02 in types type.n.01 1 one.s.01 , and 2 two.s.01 , , it supplies issue.v.02 the hilar hilar.a.01 lymph nodes lymph_node.n.01 , vasa vasorum vasa_vasorum.n.01 to the pulmonary artery pulmonary_artery.n.01 and vein pulmonary_vein.n.01 , the bronchi bronchus.n.01 and the terminal terminal.s.05 bronchioles bronchiole.n.01 . As in type type.n.01 1 one.s.01 , , it provides supply.v.01 arterial arterial.a.01 blood blood.n.01 to the interlobular interlobular.a.01 septa septum.n.01 , and an extremely highly.r.01 rich rich.a.02 anastomotic anastomotic.a.01 pleural pleural.a.01 supply supply.n.01 is seen witness.v.02 ( figs. figure.n.01 9 nine.s.01 , 10 ten.s.01 ) . This pleural pleural.a.01 supply supply.n.01 is derived derive.v.02 both from hilar hilar.a.01 and interlobular interlobular.a.01 bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 branches branch.n.03 . Such such.s.01 a dual double.s.02 derivation derivation.n.01 was strikingly strikingly.r.01 demonstrated show.v.01 during the injection injection.n.01 process procedure.n.01 where initial initial.s.01 filling filling.n.02 would be noted note.v.03 to occur occur.v.03 in several several.s.01 isolated disjunct.s.03 pleural pleural.a.01 vessels vessel.n.01 at once at_a_time.r.01 . Some of these were obviously obviously.r.01 filling fill.v.01 from interlobular interlobular.a.01 branches branch.n.03 of the bronchial arteries bronchial_artery.n.01 while others were filling fill.v.01 from direct direct.a.01 hilar hilar.a.01 branches branch.n.03 following follow.v.04 along the pleural pleural.a.01 surface surface.n.01 .

This was accounted for account_for.v.01 primarily chiefly.r.01 by the presence presence.n.01 of a bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 closely closely.r.01 following follow.v.04 the pulmonary artery pulmonary_artery.n.01 . The diameter diameter.n.01 of this bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 was be.v.01 much much.r.01 too excessively.r.01 large large.a.01 for it to be be.v.01 a mere mere.s.01 vasa vasorum vasa_vasorum.n.01 ( figs. figure.n.01 16 sixteen.s.01 , 23 twenty-three.s.01 , 24 twenty-four.s.01 ) . In distal distal.a.01 regions region.n.01 its diameter diameter.n.01 would be be.v.01 one-fourth one-fourth.n.01 to one-fifth one-fifth.n.01 that of the pulmonary artery pulmonary_artery.n.01 . This vessel vessel.n.01 could be followed follow.v.04 to the parenchyma parenchyma.n.01 where it directly directly.r.01 provided supply.v.01 bronchial bronchial.a.01 arterial arterial.a.01 blood blood.n.01 to the alveolar alveolar.a.01 capillary bed capillary_bed.n.01 ( figs. figure.n.01 17 seventeen.s.01 , 18 eighteen.s.01 ) .

One one.s.01 bronchial bronchial.a.01 arteriolar arteriolar.a.01 pulmonary pneumonic.a.02 arteriolar arteriolar.a.01 anastomosis anastomosis.n.01 was noted note.v.03 at the terminal terminal.s.05 bronchiolar bronchiolar.a.01 level degree.n.01 ( fig. figure.n.01 26 twenty-six.s.01 ) . It is be.v.01 evident apparent.s.01 that many many.a.01 marked marked.s.01 and striking dramatic.s.02 differences deviation.n.01 exist exist.v.01 between lungs lung.n.01 when an inter-species interspecies.a.01 comparison comparison.n.01 is made draw.v.04 .

However however.r.01 , the dynamics dynamics.n.01 of airflow airflow.n.01 , from morphologic morphologic.a.01 considerations circumstance.n.03 alone alone.s.03 , may conceivably conceivably.r.01 be be.v.01 different different.a.01 in the monkey monkey.n.01 than in the horse horse.n.01 . Also besides.r.02 , interlobular interlobular.a.01 air air.n.01 drifts drift.n.01 may be be.v.01 all but all_but.r.00 nonexistent nonexistent.a.01 in the cow cow.n.01 ; probably probably.r.01 occur occur.v.03 in the horse horse.n.01 much as much_as.r.01 in the human being homo.n.02 ; and , in contrast contrast.n.02 are be.v.01 present present.a.02 to a relatively relatively.r.01 immense huge.s.01 degree degree.n.01 on a segmental metameric.s.01 basis basis.n.02 in the dog dog.n.01 where lobules lobule.n.01 are be.v.01 absent absent.a.01 ( Van Allen NE and Lindskog NE , ' 31 ) . A reason reason.n.02 for such such.s.01 wide wide.a.01 variation variation.n.01 in the pulmonary pneumonic.a.02 morphology morphology.n.01 is be.v.01 entirely wholly.r.01 lacking lacking.s.02 at present now.r.04 . Within certain certain.s.01 wide wide.a.01 limits limit.n.01 anatomy anatomy.n.01 dictates order.v.03 function function.n.02 and , if one is permitted permit.v.01 to speculate speculate.v.01 , potential potential.a.01 pathology pathology.n.01 should be included include.v.02 in this statement statement.n.01 as well besides.r.02 . For example for_example.r.01 , the marked marked.s.01 susceptibility susceptibility.n.01 of the monkey monkey.n.01 to respiratory respiratory.a.01 infection infection.n.01 might be related to related.a.01 its delicate delicate.s.04 , long long.a.02 alveolar alveolar.a.01 ducts duct.n.01 and short short.a.02 , large large.a.01 bronchioles bronchiole.n.01 situated situate.v.01 within a parenchyma parenchyma.n.01 entirely wholly.r.01 lacking miss.v.06 in protective protective.a.01 supportive supportive.a.01 tissue tissue.n.01 barriers barrier.n.03 such as those found detect.v.01 in types type.n.01 1 one.s.01 , and 3 three.s.01 , . One might also besides.r.02 wonder wonder.v.02 if monkeys monkey.n.01 are be.v.01 capable capable.a.01 of developing grow.v.08 bronchiolitis bronchiolitis.n.01 as we know acknowledge.v.06 it in man homo.n.02 or the horse horse.n.01 .

Anatomically anatomically.r.01 , the horse horse.n.01 lung lung.n.01 appears look.v.02 to be be.v.01 remarkably unusually.r.01 like that of man homo.n.02 , insofar insofar.r.01 as this can be ascertained determine.v.01 from comparison comparison.n.01 of our findings determination.n.01 in the horse horse.n.01 with those of others ( Birnbaum NE , ' 54 ) in the human being homo.n.02 . The only alone.s.03 area area.n.02 in which one might find find.v.01 major major.a.03 disagreement discrepancy.n.01 in this matter topic.n.02 is be.v.01 in regard to regard_to.n.00 the alveolar alveolar.a.01 distribution distribution.n.02 of the bronchial arteries bronchial_artery.n.01 . As early early.a.01 as 1858 , Le Fort NE claimed claim.v.01 an alveolar alveolar.a.01 distribution distribution.n.02 of the bronchial arteries bronchial_artery.n.01 in human beings homo.n.02 . The opposition confrontation.n.04 to this point of view point_of_view.n.01 has have.v.01 its staunchest steadfast.s.02 support documentation.n.03 in the work work.n.02 of Miller NE ( ' 50 ) . Apparently apparently.r.01 , however however.r.01 , Miller NE has relied depend_on.v.03 heavily heavily.r.01 on the anatomy anatomy.n.01 in dogs dog.n.01 and cats cat.n.01 , and he has been criticized knock.v.06 for using use.v.01 pathologic diseased.s.01 human human.a.03 material material.n.01 in his normal normal.a.01 study report.n.01 ( Loosli NE , ' 38 ) . Although Miller NE noted note.v.01 in 1907 that a difference deviation.n.01 in the pleural pleural.a.01 blood blood.n.01 supply supply.n.01 existed exist.v.01 between animals animal.n.01 , nowhere nowhere.r.01 in his published published.a.01 works work.n.02 is it found find.v.01 that he did make.v.01 a comparative comparative.a.01 study survey.n.01 of the intrapulmonary intrapulmonary.a.01 features feature.n.01 of various assorted.s.02 mammalian mammalian.a.01 lungs lung.n.01 other than other_than.s.00 in the dog dog.n.01 and cat cat.n.01 ( Miller NE , ' 13 ; ' 25 ) . The meaning meaning.n.01 of this variation variation.n.01 in distribution distribution.n.02 of the bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 as found detect.v.01 in the horse horse.n.01 is be.v.01 not not.r.01 clear clear.a.01 . However however.r.01 , this artery artery.n.01 is known know.v.01 to be be.v.01 a nutrient alimentary.s.01 vessel vessel.n.01 with a distribution distribution.n.02 primarily chiefly.r.01 to the proximal proximal.a.01 airways air_passage.n.01 and supportive supportive.a.01 tissues tissue.n.01 of the lung lung.n.01 . The alveoli alveolus.n.01 and respiratory respiratory.a.01 bronchioles bronchiole.n.01 are be.v.01 primarily chiefly.r.01 diffusing diffusing.s.01 tissues tissue.n.01 .

Therefore therefore.r.01 , an explanation explanation.n.01 of this alveolar alveolar.a.01 bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 supply supply.n.01 might be be.v.02 the nutritive alimentary.s.01 requirement necessity.n.02 of an increased increased.a.01 amount amount.n.02 of supportive supportive.a.01 tissue tissue.n.01 , not not.r.01 primarily chiefly.r.01 diffusing diffusing.s.01 in nature nature.n.01 , in the region region.n.01 of the alveolus alveolus.n.01 .

The presence presence.n.01 of normally normally.r.01 occurring occur.v.03 bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 pulmonary artery pulmonary_artery.n.01 anastomoses anastomosis.n.01 was first first.r.02 noted note.v.03 in 1721 by Ruysch NE , and thereafter thereafter.r.01 by many many.a.01 others . Nakamura NE ( ' 58 ) , Verloop NE ( ' 48 ) , Marchand NE , Gilroy NE and Watson NE ( ' 50 ) , von Hayek NE ( ' 53 ) , and Tobin NE ( ' 52 ) have all claimed claim.v.01 their normal normal.a.01 but relatively relatively.r.01 nonfunctional nonfunctional.a.01 existence being.n.01 in the human being homo.n.02 . Miller NE ( ' 50 ) is be.v.02 the principal chief.s.01 antagonist adversary.n.01 of this viewpoint point_of_view.n.01 . In criticism criticism.n.01 of the latter latter.a.01 's views position.n.03 , his conclusions conclusion.n.02 were based establish.v.08 upon dog dog.n.01 lung lung.n.01 injection injection.n.01 studies survey.n.01 in which all of all_of.a.00 the vascular vascular.a.01 channels channel.n.02 were first first.r.01 filled fill.v.01 with a solution solution.n.01 under pressure pressure.n.01 and then then.r.01 were injected inject.v.01 with various assorted.s.02 sized sized.a.01 colored colored.a.01 particles atom.n.02 designed plan.v.03 to stop stop.v.01 at the arteriolar arteriolar.a.01 level degree.n.01 . As early early.a.01 as 1913 Ghoreyeb NE and Karsner NE demonstrated show.v.01 with perfusion perfusion.n.01 studies survey.n.01 in dogs dog.n.01 that bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 flow flow.n.01 would remain stay.v.01 constant changeless.s.02 at a certain certain.s.01 low low.a.01 level degree.n.01 when pressure pressure.n.01 was maintained keep.v.01 in the pulmonary artery pulmonary_artery.n.01 and vein pulmonary_vein.n.01 , but that increases increase.n.02 in bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 flow flow.n.01 would occur occur.v.03 in response response.n.01 to a relative relative.a.01 drop drop.n.03 in pulmonary artery pulmonary_artery.n.01 pressure pressure.n.01 . Berry NE , Brailsford NE and Daly NE in 1931 and Nakamura NE in 1958 reaffirmed reaffirm.v.01 this .

It is be.v.01 distinctly distinctly.r.01 possible possible.a.01 , therefore therefore.r.01 , that simultaneous coincident.s.01 pressures pressure.n.01 in all all.a.01 three three.s.01 vessels vessel.n.01 would have rendered render.v.01 the shunts shunt.n.01 inoperable inoperable.s.01 and hence therefore.r.01 , uninjectable uninjectable.a.01 . This viewpoint point_of_view.n.01 is further further.r.01 supported confirm.v.01 by Verloop NE 's ( ' 48 ) demonstration demonstration.n.04 of thickened thickened.s.01 bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 and arteriolar arteriolar.a.01 muscular muscular.a.01 coats coating.n.01 which are be.v.01 capable capable.a.01 of acting as act_as.v.01 valves valve.n.01 . In addition in_addition.r.00 , little little.a.02 work study.n.02 has been done make.v.01 on a comparative comparative.s.00 basis basis.n.02 in regard to regard_to.n.00 the normal normal.a.01 existence being.n.01 of bronchial artery bronchial_artery.n.01 pulmonary artery pulmonary_artery.n.01 anastomoses anastomosis.n.01 .

The possibility hypothesis.n.02 that the absence absence.n.01 or presence presence.n.01 of these shunts shunt.n.01 is be.v.01 species species.n.01 dependent dependent.s.02 is therefore therefore.r.01 inferred deduce.v.01 .

In a conditioning conditioning.n.01 experiment experiment.n.01 , he demonstrated demonstrate.v.04 the antagonism antagonism.n.04 between feeding eating.n.01 and pain pain.n.03 .

In our attempt attempt.n.01 to interpret interpret.v.01 the emotions emotion.n.01 in their physiological physiological.a.01 and pathological pathological.a.01 range scope.n.01 , we emphasized stress.v.01 the importance importance.n.01 of the degree degree.n.02 of activity action.n.02 of the parasympathetic parasympathetic.a.01 and sympathetic sympathetic.a.01 divisions part.n.09 of the hypothalamic hypothalamic.a.01 system system.n.06 and their influence influence.n.02 on the inhibitory inhibitory.s.01 and excitatory excitant.s.01 systems system.n.06 , respectively respectively.r.01 .

Although we are exist.v.01 still still.r.01 far far.a.01 from a complete complete.a.01 understanding understanding.n.01 of these problems problem.n.02 , as a first first.a.01 approximation estimate.n.01 , it is suggested propose.v.01 that alterations alteration.n.02 in the hypothalamic hypothalamic.a.01 balance balance.n.01 with consequent attendant.s.02 changes change.n.01 in the hypothalamic hypothalamic.a.01 cortical cortical.a.01 discharges discharge.n.01 account for account_for.v.02 major major.a.03 changes change.n.01 in behavior demeanor.n.01 seen witness.v.02 in various assorted.s.02 moods temper.n.02 and states state.n.02 of emotions emotion.n.01 in man homo.n.02 and beast animal.n.01 under physiological physiological.a.01 circumstances circumstance.n.01 , in experimental experimental.a.01 and clinical clinical.a.01 neurosis neurosis.n.01 , and as the result consequence.n.01 of psychopharmacological psychopharmacological.a.01 agents agent.n.03 . We are trying try.v.01 to study analyze.v.01 a linear operator linear_operator.n.01 T on the finite finite.a.01 dimensional dimensional.s.02 space quad.n.03 V , by decomposing decompose.v.01 T into a direct sum of operators operator.n.01 which are be.v.01 in some sense sense.n.05 elementary elementary.s.01 . We can do make.v.01 this through the characteristic characteristic.a.01 values value.n.01 and vectors vector.n.01 of T in certain certain.s.01 special particular.s.01 cases event.n.02 , i.e. i.e..r.01 , when the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for T factors factor.v.01 over the scalar field scalar_field.n.01 F into a product product.n.03 of distinct distinct.s.01 monic polynomials monic_polynomial.n.01 of degree degree.n.05 1 one.n.01 . What can we do make.v.01 with the general general.a.01 T ? If we try try.v.01 to study analyze.v.01 T using use.v.01 characteristic characteristic.a.01 values value.n.01 , we are confronted confront.v.03 with two two.s.01 problems problem.n.02 . First first.r.01 , T may not not.r.01 have have.v.02 a single individual.a.01 characteristic characteristic.a.01 value value.n.01 ; this is be.v.02 really truly.r.01 a deficiency lack.n.01 in the scalar field scalar_field.n.01 , namely namely.r.01 , that it is be.v.01 not not.r.01 algebraically algebraically.r.01 closed closed.a.02 . Second second.r.01 , even even.r.01 if the characteristic characteristic.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 factors factor.v.01 completely completely.r.02 over F into a product product.n.03 of polynomials polynomial.n.01 of degree degree.n.05 1 one.n.01 , there may not not.r.01 be exist.v.01 enough adequate.s.02 characteristic characteristic.a.01 vectors vector.n.01 for T to span cross.v.05 the space quad.n.03 V ; this is constitute.v.01 clearly clearly.r.01 a deficiency lack.n.01 in T . The second second.s.00 situation situation.n.01 is illustrated exemplify.v.02 by the operator operator.n.01 T on * * f ( F any field field.n.10 ) represented represent.v.01 in the standard standard.a.01 basis basis.n.02 by * * f . The characteristic characteristic.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for A is be.v.02 * * f and this is be.v.02 plainly obviously.r.01 also besides.r.02 the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for A ( or for T ) . Thus therefore.r.01 T is be.v.01 not not.r.01 diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 . On the other hand on_the_other_hand.r.01 , the null space null_space.n.01 of * * f and the null space null_space.n.01 of * * f together in_concert.r.01 span cross.v.05 V , the former former.a.01 being be.v.02 the subspace subspace.n.01 spanned cross.v.05 by * * f and the latter latter.a.01 the subspace subspace.n.01 spanned cross.v.05 by * * f and * * f . This will be constitute.v.01 more or less approximately.r.01 our general general.a.01 method method.n.01 for the second second.s.01 problem problem.n.02 . If ( remember remember.v.02 this is be.v.02 an assumption assumption.n.02 ) the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for T decomposes decompose.v.01 * * f where * * f are be.v.01 distinct distinct.s.01 elements component.n.03 of F , then then.r.02 we shall show prove.v.02 that the space quad.n.03 V is equal.v.01 the direct sum of the null spaces null_space.n.01 of * * f . The diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 operator operator.n.01 is be.v.01 the special particular.s.01 case case.n.01 of this in which * * f for each each.s.01 i . The theorem theorem.n.01 which we prove prove.v.04 is be.v.01 more more.a.01 general general.a.01 than what we have described describe.v.01 , since it works function.v.01 with the primary primary.a.01 decomposition decomposition.n.01 of the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 , whether or not not.r.01 the primes prime.n.01 which enter enter.v.01 are be.v.01 all all.a.01 of first first.s.02 degree degree.n.05 . The reader reader.n.01 will find find.v.05 it helpful helpful.a.01 to think of remember.v.02 the special particular.s.01 case case.n.01 when the primes prime.n.01 are be.v.01 of degree degree.n.05 1 one.n.01 , and even even.r.01 more more.a.01 particularly particularly.r.01 , to think of remember.v.02 the proof proof.n.02 of Theorem theorem.n.01 10 , a special particular.s.01 case case.n.01 of this theorem theorem.n.01 . Let let.v.01 T be be.v.02 a linear operator linear_operator.n.01 on the finite finite.a.01 dimensional dimensional.a.01 vector vector.n.01 space quad.n.03 V over the field field.n.10 F . Let let.v.01 p be be.v.02 the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for T , * * f where the * * f are be.v.01 distinct distinct.s.01 irreducible irreducible.a.01 monic polynomials monic_polynomial.n.01 over F and the * * f are be.v.01 positive positive.a.01 integers integer.n.01 . Let let.v.01 * * f be be.v.02 the null space null_space.n.01 of * * f . The idea idea.n.01 of the proof proof.n.02 is be.v.02 this . If the direct sum direct_sum.n.01 decomposition decomposition.n.01 ( a ) is be.v.01 valid valid.a.01 , how can we get get.v.01 hold appreciation.n.01 of the projections projection.n.01 * * f associated associate.v.01 with the decomposition decomposition.n.01 ? The projection projection.n.01 * * f will be be.v.02 the identity identity.n.03 on * * f and zero nothing.n.01 on the other other.a.01 * * f . We shall find line_up.v.02 a polynomial polynomial.n.01 * * f such that such_that.s.00 * * f is be.v.02 the identity identity.n.03 on * * f and is equal.v.01 zero nothing.n.01 on the other other.a.01 * * f , and so that * * f , etc. . For each each.s.01 i , let let.v.01 * * f . Since * * f are be.v.01 distinct distinct.s.01 prime prime.s.02 polynomials polynomial.n.01 , the polynomials polynomial.n.01 * * f are be.v.01 relatively relatively.r.01 prime prime.s.02 ( Theorem theorem.n.01 8 , Chapter chapter.n.01 4 ) . Thus therefore.r.01 there are exist.v.01 polynomials polynomial.n.01 * * f such that such_that.s.00 * * f . Note notice.v.02 also besides.r.02 that if * * f , then then.r.02 * * f is be.v.01 divisible by divisible_by.s.00 the polynomial polynomial.n.01 p , because * * f contains incorporate.v.02 each * * f as a factor divisor.n.01 . We shall show prove.v.02 that the polynomials polynomial.n.01 * * f behave behave.v.03 in the manner manner.n.01 described describe.v.01 in the first first.s.02 paragraph paragraph.n.01 of the proof proof.n.02 . Since * * f and p divides divide.v.02 * * f for * * f , we have have.v.01 * * f . Thus therefore.r.01 the * * f are be.v.02 projections projection.n.01 which correspond equate.v.02 to some some.s.04 direct sum decomposition decomposition.n.01 of the space quad.n.03 V . We wish wish.v.06 to show prove.v.02 that the range stove.n.01 of * * f is equal.v.01 exactly precisely.r.01 the subspace subspace.n.01 * * f . It is clear clear.a.01 that each each.s.01 vector vector.n.01 in the range stove.n.01 of * * f is be.v.03 in * * f for if |a is be.v.03 in the range stove.n.01 of * * f , then then.r.02 * * f and so * * f because * * f is be.v.01 divisible by divisible_by.s.00 the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 p . Conversely conversely.r.01 , suppose suppose.v.01 that |a is be.v.03 in the null space null_space.n.01 of * * f . If * * f , then then.r.02 * * f is be.v.01 divisible by divisible_by.s.00 * * f and so * * f , i.e. i.e..r.01 , * * f . But then then.r.02 it is be.v.01 immediate immediate.s.01 that * * f , i.e. i.e..r.01 , that |a is be.v.03 in the range stove.n.01 of * * f . This completes complete.v.01 the proof proof.n.02 of statement argument.n.01 ( a ) . It is be.v.01 certainly surely.r.01 clear clear.a.01 that the subspaces subspace.n.01 * * f are be.v.01 invariant invariant.s.01 under T . This shows prove.v.02 that the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for * * f divides divide.v.02 * * f . Conversely conversely.r.01 , let let.v.01 g be be.v.02 any polynomial polynomial.n.01 such that such_that.s.00 * * f . Then then.r.02 * * f . Thus therefore.r.01 * * f is be.v.01 divisible by divisible_by.s.00 the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 p of T , i.e. i.e..r.01 , * * f divides divide.v.02 * * f . It is easily easily.r.01 seen understand.v.02 that * * f divides divide.v.02 g . Hence therefore.r.01 the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for * * f is equal.v.01 * * f . If * * f are be.v.02 the projections projection.n.01 associated associate.v.01 with the primary primary.a.01 decomposition decomposition.n.01 of T , then then.r.02 each each.s.01 * * f is be.v.02 a polynomial polynomial.n.01 in T , and accordingly consequently.r.01 if a linear operator linear_operator.n.01 U commutes commute.v.01 with T then then.r.02 U commutes commute.v.01 with each of the * * f i.e. i.e..r.01 , each each.s.01 subspace subspace.n.01 * * f is be.v.01 invariant invariant.s.01 under U . In the notation notation.n.01 of the proof proof.n.02 of Theorem theorem.n.01 12 , let let.v.01 us take a look take_a_look.v.01 at the special particular.s.01 case case.n.01 in which the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for T is be.v.02 a product product.n.03 of first first.s.02 degree degree.n.05 polynomials polynomial.n.01 , i.e. i.e..r.01 , the case case.n.01 in which each each.s.01 * * f is be.v.01 of the form kind.n.01 * * f . Now now.r.04 the range stove.n.01 of * * f is equal.v.01 the null space null_space.n.01 * * f of * * f . By Theorem theorem.n.01 10 , D is be.v.01 a diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 operator operator.n.01 which we shall call name.v.01 the diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 part part.n.01 of T . Let let.v.01 us look at consider.v.03 the operator operator.n.01 * * f . Now nowadays.r.01 * * f * * f so * * f . The reader reader.n.01 should be be.v.01 familiar familiar_with.s.00 enough enough.r.01 with projections projection.n.01 by now nowadays.r.01 so that he sees understand.v.02 that * * f and in general generally.r.02 that * * f . When * * f for each each.s.01 i , we shall have have.v.01 * * f , because the operator operator.n.01 * * f will then then.r.02 be equal.v.01 0 zero.n.02 on the range stove.n.01 of * * f . Let N be be.v.02 a linear operator linear_operator.n.01 on the vector vector.n.01 space quad.n.03 V . We say allege.v.01 that N is be.v.01 nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 if there is exist.v.01 some positive positive.a.01 integer integer.n.01 r such that such_that.s.00 * * f . Let let.v.01 T be be.v.02 a linear operator linear_operator.n.01 on the finite finite.a.01 dimensional dimensional.s.02 vector vector.n.01 space quad.n.03 V over the field field.n.10 F . Suppose suppose.v.01 that the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for T decomposes decompose.v.01 over F into a product product.n.03 of linear linear.a.01 polynomials polynomial.n.01 . The diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 operator operator.n.01 D and the nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 operator operator.n.01 N are uniquely uniquely.r.01 determined determine.v.03 by ( a ) and ( b ) and each of them is be.v.02 a polynomial polynomial.n.01 in T . We have just just.r.03 observed detect.v.01 that we can write write.v.01 * * f where D is be.v.01 diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 and N is be.v.01 nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 , and where D and N not only not_only.r.00 commute commute.v.01 but are be.v.02 polynomials polynomial.n.01 in T . Now now.r.04 suppose suppose.v.01 that we also besides.r.02 have have.v.01 * * f where D ' is be.v.01 diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 , N ' is be.v.01 nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 , and * * f . We shall prove prove.v.04 that * * f . Since D ' and N ' commute commute.v.01 with one another and * * f , we see understand.v.02 that D ' and N ' commute commute.v.01 with T . Thus therefore.r.01 D ' and N ' commute commute.v.01 with any polynomial polynomial.n.01 in T ; hence therefore.r.01 they commute commute.v.01 with D and with N . Now nowadays.r.01 we have have.v.01 * * f or * * f and all all.a.01 four four.s.01 of these operators operator.n.01 commute commute.v.01 with one another . Since D and D ' are be.v.01 both diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 and they commute commute.v.01 , they are be.v.01 simultaneously simultaneously.r.01 diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 , and * * f is be.v.01 diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 . Since N and N ' are be.v.01 both nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 and they commute commute.v.01 , the operator operator.n.01 * * f is be.v.01 nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 ; for , using use.v.01 the fact fact.n.02 that N and N ' commute commute.v.01 * * f and so when r is be.v.01 sufficiently sufficiently.r.01 large large.a.01 every term term.n.04 in this expression formula.n.01 for * * f will be equal.v.01 0 zero.n.02 . It then then.r.02 follows follow.v.03 that * * f is be.v.01 large large.a.01 enough adequate.s.02 , but this is be.v.01 not not.r.01 obvious obvious.a.01 from the above above.s.01 expression formula.n.01 . ) Now nowadays.r.01 * * f is be.v.01 a diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 operator operator.n.01 which is be.v.01 also besides.r.02 nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 . Such such.s.01 an operator operator.n.01 is be.v.02 obviously obviously.r.01 the zero nothing.n.01 operator operator.n.01 ; for since it is be.v.01 nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 , the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for this operator operator.n.01 is be.v.01 of the form kind.n.01 * * f for some some.s.04 * * f ; but then then.r.02 since the operator operator.n.01 is be.v.01 diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 , the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 cannot have have.v.01 a repeated perennial.s.03 root root.n.04 ; hence therefore.r.01 * * f and the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 is be.v.02 simply merely.r.01 x , which says allege.v.01 the operator operator.n.01 is equal.v.01 0 zero.n.02 . Thus therefore.r.01 we see understand.v.02 that * * f and * * f . Let let.v.01 V be be.v.02 a finite finite.a.01 dimensional dimensional.s.02 vector vector.n.01 space quad.n.03 over an algebraically algebraically.r.01 closed closed.a.02 field field.n.10 F , e.g. for_example.r.01 , the field field.n.10 of complex numbers complex_number.n.01 . Then then.r.02 every every.s.02 linear operator linear_operator.n.01 T on V can be written write.v.01 as the sum sum.n.03 of a diagonalizable diagonalizable.a.01 operator operator.n.01 D and a nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 operator operator.n.01 N which commute commute.v.01 . These operators operator.n.01 D and N are be.v.01 unique unique.s.04 and each is be.v.02 a polynomial polynomial.n.01 in T . From these results consequence.n.01 , one sees understand.v.02 that the study study.n.2;1 of linear operators linear_operator.n.01 on vector vector.n.01 spaces quad.n.03 over an algebraically algebraically.r.01 closed closed.a.02 field field.n.10 is essentially basically.r.01 reduced reduce.v.06 to the study study.n.2;1 of nilpotent nilpotent.a.01 operators operator.n.01 . For vector vector.n.01 spaces quad.n.03 over non non.s.00 algebraically algebraically.r.01 closed closed.a.02 fields field.n.10 , we still still.r.01 need to find line_up.v.02 some some.s.04 substitute substitute.n.01 for characteristic characteristic.a.01 values value.n.01 and vectors vector.n.01 . In concluding conclude.v.02 this section section.n.01 , we should like to give give.v.04 an example model.n.07 which illustrates exemplify.v.02 some of the ideas idea.n.01 of the primary primary.a.01 decomposition decomposition.n.01 theorem theorem.n.01 . We have chosen choose.v.01 to give give.v.04 it at the end end.n.05 of the section section.n.01 since it deals consider.v.03 with differential equations differential_equation.n.01 and thus therefore.r.01 is be.v.01 not not.r.01 purely strictly.r.01 linear algebra linear_algebra.n.01 . In the primary primary.a.01 decomposition decomposition.n.01 theorem theorem.n.01 , it is be.v.01 not not.r.01 necessary necessary.a.01 that the vector vector.n.01 space quad.n.03 V be be.v.01 finite finite.a.01 dimensional dimensional.a.01 , nor is be.v.01 it necessary necessary.a.01 for parts part.n.01 ( a ) and ( b ) that p be be.v.02 the minimal minimal.a.01 polynomial polynomial.n.01 for T . If T is be.v.01 a linear operator linear_operator.n.01 on an arbitrary arbitrary.a.01 vector vector.n.01 space quad.n.03 and if there is exist.v.01 a monic polynomial monic_polynomial.n.01 p such that such_that.s.00 * * f , then then.r.02 parts part.n.01 ( a ) and ( b ) of Theorem theorem.n.01 12 are be.v.01 valid valid.a.01 for T with the proof proof.n.02 which we gave give.v.04 . Let let.v.01 n be be.v.02 a positive positive.a.01 integer integer.n.01 and let let.v.01 V be be.v.02 the space quad.n.03 of all all.a.01 n times continuously continuously.r.01 differentiable differentiable.a.01 functions function.n.01 f on the real real.a.01 line line.n.04 which satisfy satisfy.v.01 the differential equation differential_equation.n.01 * * f where * * f are be.v.01 some fixed fixed.s.01 constants constant.n.01 . If * * f denotes denote.v.01 the space quad.n.03 of n times continuously continuously.r.01 differentiable differentiable.a.01 functions function.n.01 , then then.r.02 the space quad.n.03 V of solutions solution.n.04 of this differential equation differential_equation.n.01 is constitute.v.01 a subspace subspace.n.01 of * * f . If D denotes denote.v.01 the differentiation differentiation.n.02 operator operator.n.01 and p is be.v.02 the polynomial polynomial.n.01 * * f then then.r.02 V is be.v.02 the null space null_space.n.01 of the operator operator.n.01 p ( D ) , because * * f simply merely.r.01 says allege.v.01 * * f . Let let.v.01 us now nowadays.r.01 regard involve.v.01 D as a linear operator linear_operator.n.01 on the subspace subspace.n.01 V . Then then.r.02 * * f . We now nowadays.r.01 write write.v.01 * * f where * * f are be.v.01 distinct distinct.s.01 complex numbers complex_number.n.01 . If * * f is be.v.02 the null space null_space.n.01 of * * f , then then.r.02 Theorem theorem.n.01 12 says allege.v.01 that * * f . In other words in_other_words.r.01 , if f satisfies satisfy.v.01 the differential equation differential_equation.n.01 * * f , then then.r.02 f is be.v.01 uniquely uniquely.r.01 expressible expressible.a.01 in the form kind.n.01 * * f where * * f satisfies satisfy.v.01 the differential equation differential_equation.n.01 * * f . Thus therefore.r.01 , the study study.n.02 of the solutions solution.n.04 to the equation equation.n.01 * * f is reduced reduce.v.06 to the study study.n.02 of the space quad.n.03 of solutions solution.n.04 of a differential equation differential_equation.n.01 of the form kind.n.01 * * f . This reduction reduction.n.03 has been accomplished carry_through.v.01 by the general general.a.01 methods method.n.01 of linear algebra linear_algebra.n.01 , i.e. i.e..r.01 , by the primary primary.a.01 decomposition decomposition.n.01 theorem theorem.n.01 . To describe describe.v.01 the space quad.n.03 of solutions solution.n.04 to * * f , one must know know.v.01 something about differential equations differential_equation.n.01 , that is that_is.r.00 , one must know know.v.01 something about D other than other_than.s.00 the fact fact.n.02 that it is be.v.02 a linear operator linear_operator.n.01 . However however.r.01 , one does not not.r.01 need to know know.v.01 very much a_lot.r.01 . It is be.v.01 very very.r.01 easy easy.a.01 to establish prove.v.02 by induction generalization.n.01 on r that if f is be.v.03 in * * f then then.r.02 * * f that is that_is.r.00 , * * f , etc. and_so_forth.r.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 * * f if and only entirely.r.02 if * * f . Thus therefore.r.01 f satisfies satisfy.v.01 * * f if and only entirely.r.02 if f has have.v.02 the form kind.n.01 * * f . Accordingly consequently.r.01 , the ' functions function.n.01 ' * * f span cross.v.05 the space quad.n.03 of solutions solution.n.04 of * * f . Since * * f are be.v.01 linearly linearly.r.01 independent independent.a.01 functions function.n.01 and the exponential function exponential.n.01 has have.v.01 no no.a.01 zeros nothing.n.01 , these r functions function.n.01 * * f , form form.v.02 a basis basis.n.02 for the space quad.n.03 of solutions solution.n.04 . Some some.s.04 experiments experiment.n.01 are be.v.01 composed composed.s.00 of repetitions repeat.n.01 of independent independent.a.01 trials test.n.05 , each with two two.s.01 possible possible.a.01 outcomes consequence.n.01 . The binomial binomial_distribution.n.01 probability probability.n.01 distribution may describe identify.v.05 the variation variation.n.01 that occurs happen.v.01 from one one.s.01 set set.n.01 of trials test.n.05 of such such.s.01 a binomial binomial.a.01 experiment experiment.n.01 to another . We devote give.v.18 a chapter chapter.n.01 to the binomial distribution binomial_distribution.n.01 not only not_only.r.00 because it is be.v.02 a mathematical mathematical.a.01 model model.n.01 for an enormous enormous.s.01 variety assortment.n.01 of real life real_world.n.01 phenomena phenomenon.n.01 , but also besides.r.02 because it has have.v.02 important important.a.01 properties property.n.02 that recur recur.v.01 in many many.a.01 other other.a.01 probability probability.n.01 models model.n.01 . We begin get_down.v.07 with a few a_few.s.01 examples example.n.01 of binomial binomial.a.01 experiments experiment.n.01 . A trained trained.a.01 marksman marksman.n.01 shooting blast.v.07 five five.s.01 rounds round.n.01 at a target target.n.01 , all all.a.01 under practically practically.r.01 the same same.a.02 conditions condition.n.01 , may hit hit.v.02 the bull's-eye bull's_eye.n.02 from 0 zero.s.01 to 5 five.s.01 times time.n.01 . In repeated recur.v.01 sets set.n.01 of five five.s.01 shots shooting.n.01 his numbers number.n.01 of bull's-eyes bull's_eye.n.01 vary change.v.03 .

What probabilities probability.n.01 should be attached attach.v.01 to these possible potential.a.01 outcomes result.n.03 ? When three three.s.01 dice die.n.01 are tossed flip.v.01 repeatedly repeatedly.r.01 , what is be.v.02 the probability probability.n.01 that the number number.n.01 of aces one.n.01 is be.v.02 0 zero.n.02 ( or 1 one.n.01 , or 2 two.n.01 , or 3 three.n.01 ) ? More more.a.01 generally generally.r.02 , suppose suppose.v.01 that an experiment experiment.n.01 consists of consist_of.v.00 a number number.n.01 of independent independent.a.01 trials test.n.05 , that each trial test.n.05 results leave.v.07 in either a `` success success.n.01 '' or a `` non non.s.00 success success.n.01 '' ( `` failure failure.n.02 '' ) , and that the probability probability.n.01 of success success.n.01 remains stay.v.01 constant changeless.s.02 from trial test.n.05 to trial test.n.05 . In the examples example.n.01 above above.r.01 , the occurrence happening.n.01 of a bull's-eye bull's_eye.n.01 , a straight straight.a.03 haired haired.s.00 mouse mouse.n.01 , or an ace one.n.01 could be called call.v.02 a `` success success.n.01 '' . In general generally.r.02 , any outcome result.n.03 we choose choose.v.01 may be labeled label.v.01 `` success success.n.01 '' . The major major.a.01 question question.n.02 in this chapter chapter.n.01 is be.v.02 : What is be.v.02 the probability probability.n.01 of exactly precisely.r.01 x successes success.n.01 in n trials test.n.05 ? In Chapters chapter.n.01 3 three.s.01 and 4 four.s.01 we answered answer.v.04 questions question.n.03 like those in the examples example.n.01 , usually normally.r.01 by counting count.v.01 points point.n.01 in a sample sample_distribution.n.01 space space.n.03 . Fortunately fortunately.r.01 , a general general.a.01 formula formula.n.01 of wide across-the-board.s.01 applicability applicability.n.01 solves resolve.v.06 all problems problem.n.02 of this kind kind.n.01 . Experiments experiment.n.01 are often frequently.r.01 composed compose.v.01 of several several.s.01 identical identical.s.01 trials test.n.05 , and sometimes sometimes.r.01 experiments experiment.n.01 themselves are repeated repeat.v.05 . In the marksmanship marksmanship.n.01 example example.n.01 , a trial test.n.05 consists of consist_of.v.00 `` one one.s.01 round round.n.01 shot blast.v.07 at a target target.n.01 '' with outcome result.n.03 either one one.s.01 bull's-eye bull's_eye.n.01 ( success success.n.01 ) or none ( failure failure.n.02 ) . Further further.r.02 , an experiment experiment.n.01 might consist of consist_of.v.00 five five.s.01 rounds round.n.01 , and several several.s.01 sets set.n.01 of five five.s.01 rounds round.n.01 might be regarded as think_of.v.03 a super super.s.02 experiment experiment.n.01 composed compose.v.01 of several several.s.01 repetitions repeat.n.01 of the five five.s.01 round round.n.01 experiment experiment.n.01 . If three three.s.01 dice die.n.01 are tossed flip.v.01 , a trial test.n.05 is be.v.02 one one.s.01 toss flip.n.04 of one one.s.01 die die.n.01 and the experiment experiment.n.01 is composed composed.s.00 of three three.s.01 trials test.n.05 . Or , what amounts come.v.15 to the same same.a.02 thing thing.n.01 , if one one.s.01 die die.n.01 is tossed flip.v.01 three three.s.01 times time.n.01 , each each.s.01 toss flip.n.04 is be.v.02 a trial test.n.05 , and the three three.s.01 tosses flip.n.04 form form.v.02 the experiment experiment.n.01 . Mathematically mathematically.r.01 , we shall not not.r.01 distinguish distinguish.v.01 the experiment experiment.n.01 of three three.s.01 dice die.n.01 tossed flip.v.01 once once.r.01 from that of one one.s.01 die die.n.01 tossed flip.v.01 three three.s.01 times time.n.01 . These examples example.n.01 are be.v.01 illustrative exemplifying.s.01 of the use use.n.01 of the words word.n.01 `` trial test.n.05 '' and `` experiment experiment.n.01 '' as they are used use.v.01 in this chapter chapter.n.01 , but they are be.v.01 quite quite.r.01 flexible elastic.s.02 words word.n.01 and it is be.v.01 well well.s.03 not not.r.01 to restrict qualify.v.03 them too excessively.r.01 narrowly narrowly.r.01 . Ten ten.s.01 students student.n.01 act as act_as.v.01 managers coach.n.01 for a high-school senior_high_school.n.01 football team football_team.n.01 , and of these managers coach.n.01 a proportion proportion.n.01 p are be.v.01 licensed accredited.s.01 drivers driver.n.01 .

For an experiment experiment.n.01 to qualify qualify.v.01 as a binomial binomial.a.01 experiment experiment.n.01 , it must have have.v.02 four four.s.01 properties property.n.02 : ( 1 ) there must be exist.v.01 a fixed fixed.s.01 number number.n.01 of trials test.n.05 , ( 2 ) each each.s.01 trial test.n.05 must result leave.v.07 in a `` success success.n.01 '' or a `` failure failure.n.02 '' ( a binomial binomial.a.01 trial test.n.05 ) , ( 3 ) all trials test.n.05 must have have.v.01 identical identical.s.01 probabilities probability.n.01 of success success.n.01 , ( 4 ) the trials test.n.05 must be be.v.01 independent independent.a.01 of each other . Below we use use.v.01 our earlier earlier.s.01 examples example.n.01 to describe describe.v.01 and illustrate exemplify.v.02 these four four.s.01 properties property.n.02 .

The word word.n.01 `` binomial binomial.n.01 '' means mean.v.03 `` of two two.s.01 names name.n.01 '' or `` of two two.s.01 terms term.n.04 '' , and both usages use.n.01 apply apply.v.02 in our work work.n.02 : the first first.a.01 to the names name.n.01 of the two two.s.01 outcomes result.n.03 of a binomial binomial.a.01 trial test.n.05 , and the second second.s.01 to the terms term.n.04 p and * * f that represent typify.v.02 the probabilities probability.n.01 of `` success success.n.01 '' and `` failure failure.n.02 '' .

Indeed indeed.r.01 , the experiment experiment.n.01 is better better.r.01 viewed as deem.v.01 consisting of consist_of.v.00 one one.s.01 binomial binomial.a.01 trial test.n.05 for the entire entire.s.01 family family.n.01 . The following following.s.01 is be.v.01 a less less.r.01 extreme extreme.s.02 example example.n.01 of dependence dependence.n.01 . Consider consider.v.03 couples couple.n.01 visiting visit.v.01 an art art.n.01 museum museum.n.01 .

In repetitions repetition.n.02 of the experiment experiment.n.01 from couple couple.n.01 to couple couple.n.01 , the votes vote.n.01 of the two two.s.01 persons person.n.01 in a couple couple.n.01 probably probably.r.01 agree match.v.01 more more.r.01 often much.r.05 than independence independence.n.01 would imply imply.v.02 , because couples couple.n.01 who visit visit.v.01 the museum museum.n.01 together together.r.03 are be.v.01 more more.a.01 likely likely.a.01 to have own.v.01 similar similar.a.01 tastes preference.n.01 than are be.v.01 a random random.a.01 pair pair.n.03 of people people.n.01 drawn draw.v.14 from the entire entire.s.01 population population.n.03 of visitors visitor.n.01 . Table table.n.01 7 - 1 illustrates exemplify.v.02 the point point.n.03 . The table table.n.01 shows show.v.01 that 0.6 of the boys male_child.n.01 and 0.6 of the girls female_child.n.01 vote vote.v.01 for picture painting.n.01 A . Therefore therefore.r.01 , under independent independent.a.01 voting vote.n.01 , * * f or 0.36 of the couples couple.n.01 would cast cast.v.02 two two.s.01 votes vote.n.01 for picture painting.n.01 A , and * * f or 0.16 would cast cast.v.02 two two.s.01 votes vote.n.01 for picture painting.n.01 B . Thus therefore.r.01 in independent independent.a.01 voting vote.n.01 , * * f or 0.52 of the couples couple.n.01 would agree agree.v.01 . But Table table.n.01 7 - 1 shows indicate.v.02 that * * f or 0.70 agree agree.v.01 , too excessively.r.01 many many.a.01 for independent independent.a.01 voting vote.n.01 .

We want desire.v.01 to study analyze.v.01 the probability probability.n.01 function function.n.01 of this random variable random_variable.n.01 . For example for_example.r.01 , we are be.v.01 interested interested.a.01 in the number number.n.01 of bull's-eyes bull's_eye.n.01 , not not.r.01 which shots shooting.n.01 were be.v.02 bull's-eyes bull's_eye.n.01 . For example for_example.r.01 , the marksman marksman.n.01 gets have.v.17 5 five.s.01 shots shooting.n.01 , but we take take.v.06 his score mark.n.01 to be be.v.02 the number number.n.01 of shots shooting.n.01 before his first first.a.01 bull's-eye bull's_eye.n.01 , that is that_is.r.00 , 0 zero.n.02 , 1 one.n.01 , 2 two.n.01 , 3 three.n.01 , 4 four.n.01 ( or 5 five.n.01 , if he gets have.v.17 no bull's-eye bull's_eye.n.01 ) . Thus therefore.r.01 we do not not.r.01 score score.v.03 the number number.n.01 of bull's-eyes bull's_eye.n.01 , and the random variable random_variable.n.01 is equal.v.01 not not.r.01 the number number.n.01 of successes success.n.01 .

A binomial binomial.a.01 experiment experiment.n.01 consists of consist_of.v.00 * * f independent independent.a.01 binomial binomial.a.01 trials test.n.05 , all with the same like.a.02 probability probability.n.01 * * f of yielding yield.v.01 a success success.n.01 . The outcome result.n.03 of the experiment experiment.n.01 is equal.v.01 X successes success.n.01 . The random variable random_variable.n.01 X takes assume.v.03 the values value.n.01 * * f with probabilities probability.n.01 * * f or , more more.a.01 briefly concisely.r.01 * * f .

The choice choice.n.01 of p and n determines specify.v.02 the binomial distribution binomial_distribution.n.01 uniquely uniquely.r.01 , and different different.s.02 choices choice.n.01 always always.r.01 produce produce.v.01 different different.s.02 distributions distribution.n.01 ( except when * * f ; then then.r.02 the number number.n.01 of successes success.n.01 is be.v.02 always always.r.01 0 zero.n.02 ) . The set set.n.01 of all all.a.01 binomial distributions binomial_distribution.n.01 is called name.v.01 the family family.n.01 of binomial distributions binomial_distribution.n.01 , but in general general.a.01 discussions discussion.n.01 this expression formula.n.01 is often frequently.r.01 shortened abridge.v.01 to `` the binomial distribution binomial_distribution.n.01 '' , or even even.r.01 `` the binomial binomial.a.01 '' when the context context.n.01 is be.v.01 clear clear.a.01 . Binomial distributions binomial_distribution.n.01 were treated cover.v.05 by James Bernoulli NE about 1700 , and for this reason reason.n.01 binomial binomial.a.01 trials test.n.05 are sometimes sometimes.r.01 called called.s.00 Bernoulli NE trials test.n.05 . Each binomial binomial.a.01 trial test.n.05 of a binomial binomial.a.01 experiment experiment.n.01 produces produce.v.01 either 0 zero.s.01 or 1 one.s.01 success success.n.01 . Therefore therefore.r.01 each each.s.01 binomial binomial.a.01 trial test.n.05 can be thought of think_of.v.03 as producing produce.v.01 a value value.n.01 of a random variable random_variable.n.01 associated associate.v.01 with that trial test.n.05 and taking assume.v.03 the values value.n.01 0 zero.n.02 and 1 one.n.01 , with probabilities probability.n.01 q and p respectively respectively.r.01 .

Consider consider.v.03 a simple simple.a.01 , closed closed.a.02 , plane flat.s.01 curve curve.n.01 C which is be.v.01 a real real.a.01 analytic analytic.a.01 image picture.n.01 of the unit unit.n.04 circle circle.n.01 , and which is given give.v.04 by **f . These are be.v.01 real real.a.01 analytic analytic.a.01 periodic periodic.a.01 functions function.n.01 with period time_period.n.01 T . In the following following.s.01 paper paper.n.04 it is shown prove.v.02 that in a certain certain.s.01 definite definite.a.01 sense sense.n.05 , exactly precisely.r.01 an odd odd.a.01 number number.n.02 of squares square.n.01 can be inscribed scratch.v.07 in every such such.s.01 curve curve.n.01 which does not not.r.01 contain incorporate.v.02 an infinite infinite.a.01 number number.n.02 of inscribed inscribed.s.01 squares square.n.01 . This theorem theorem.n.01 is be.v.01 similar similar.a.01 to the theorem theorem.n.01 of Kakutani NE that there exists exist.v.01 a circumscribing circumscribe.v.01 cube cube.n.01 around any closed closed.a.02 , bounded bounded.s.01 convex convex.a.01 set set.n.02 in **f . The latter latter.a.01 theorem theorem.n.01 has been generalized generalize.v.01 by Yamabe NE and Yujobo NE , and Cairns NE to show prove.v.02 that in **f there are be.v.05 families class.n.01 of such such.s.01 cubes cube.n.01 . Here here.r.02 , for the case case.n.01 of squares square.n.01 inscribed inscribed.s.01 in plane flat.s.01 curves curve.n.01 , we remove remove.v.01 the restriction restriction.n.01 to convexity convexity.n.01 and give give.v.04 certain certain.s.01 other other.a.01 results solution.n.02 . A square square.n.01 inscribed inscribed.s.01 in a curve curve.n.01 C means mean.v.03 a square square.n.01 with its four four.s.01 corner corner.n.02 points point.n.01 on the curve curve.n.01 , though it may not lie lie.v.01 entirely wholly.r.01 in the interior inside.n.01 of C . Indeed indeed.r.01 , the spiral spiral.n.01 **f , with the two two.s.01 endpoints end_point.n.01 connected connected.a.02 by a straight line straight_line.n.01 possesses possess.v.01 only entirely.r.02 one one.s.01 inscribed inscribed.s.01 square square.n.01 . On C , from the point point.n.01 P at **f to the point point.n.01 Q at **f , we construct construct.v.03 the chord chord.n.01 , and upon the chord chord.n.01 as a side side.n.07 erect raise.v.09 a square square.n.01 in such such.s.01 a way manner.n.01 that as s approaches approach.v.01 zero zero.n.02 the square square.n.01 is be.v.03 inside C . As s increases increase.v.01 we consider consider.v.03 the two two.s.01 free free.a.01 corner corner.n.02 points point.n.01 of the square square.n.01 , **f and **f , adjacent adjacent.s.01 to P and Q respectively respectively.r.01 . As s approaches approach.v.01 T the square square.n.01 will be be.v.03 outside outside.a.01 C and therefore therefore.r.01 both **f and **f must cross intersect.v.01 C an odd odd.a.01 number number.n.02 of times time.n.01 as s varies change.v.03 from zero nothing.n.01 to T . The points point.n.01 may also besides.r.02 touch touch.v.05 C without crossing intersect.v.01 . Suppose suppose.v.01 **f crosses intersect.v.01 C when **f . We now nowadays.r.01 have have.v.01 certain certain.s.01 squares square.n.01 with three three.s.01 corners corner.n.02 on C . For any such such.s.01 square square.n.01 the middle center.s.01 corner corner.n.02 of these will be called name.v.01 the vertex vertex.n.01 of the square square.n.01 and the corner corner.n.02 not not.r.01 on the curve curve.n.01 will be called name.v.01 the diagonal diagonal.s.01 point point.n.01 of the square square.n.01 .

The set set.n.02 of intersections intersection.n.01 of **f , the rotated rotated.s.01 curve curve.n.01 , with the original original.s.01 curve curve.n.01 C consists of consist_of.v.00 just merely.r.01 the set set.n.02 of forward advancing.s.01 corner corner.n.02 points point.n.01 on C corresponding equate.v.02 to the vertex vertex.n.01 at **f , plus the vertex vertex.n.01 itself . We note note.v.03 that two two.s.01 such such.s.01 curves curve.n.01 C and **f , cannot coincide coincide.v.01 at more than more_than.r.00 a finite finite.a.01 number number.n.02 of points point.n.01 ; otherwise otherwise.r.01 , being be.v.01 analytic analytic.a.01 , they would coincide coincide.v.01 at all all.a.01 points point.n.01 , which is be.v.01 impossible impossible.s.02 since they do not not.r.01 coincide coincide.v.01 near **f . With each each.s.01 vertex vertex.n.01 we associate associate.v.01 certain certain.s.01 numerical numeric.s.02 values value.n.01 , namely namely.r.01 the set set.n.02 of positive positive.a.01 differences deviation.n.01 in the parameter parameter.n.01 t between the vertex vertex.n.01 and its corresponding corresponding.s.02 forward advancing.s.01 corner corner.n.02 points point.n.01 . For the vertex vertex.n.01 at **f , these values value.n.01 will be denoted denote.v.01 by **f . The function function.n.01 f ( t ) defined define.v.03 in this way manner.n.01 is be.v.01 multi multi.s.00 valued valued.s.01 . We consider consider.v.03 now nowadays.r.01 the graph graph.n.01 of the function function.n.01 f ( t ) on **f . We will refer mention.v.01 to the plane plane.n.02 of C and **f as the C-plane and to the plane plane.n.02 of the graph graph.n.01 as the f-plane . The graph graph.n.01 , as a set set.n.02 , may have have.v.01 a finite finite.a.01 number number.n.02 of components component.n.01 . We will denote denote.v.01 the values value.n.01 of f ( t ) on different different.s.02 components component.n.01 by **f . There are exist.v.01 two two.s.01 types type.n.01 of such such.s.01 intersections intersection.n.01 , depending depend.v.01 essentially basically.r.01 on whether the curves curve.n.01 cross intersect.v.01 at the point of intersection intersection.n.01 . An ordinary ordinary.a.01 point point.n.01 will be be.v.02 any point of intersection intersection.n.01 A such that such_that.s.00 in every neighborhood vicinity.n.01 of A in the C-plane , **f meets touch.v.05 both the interior inside.n.01 and the exterior exterior.a.01 of C . Any other other.a.01 point of intersection intersection.n.01 between C and **f will be called name.v.01 a tangent tangent.n.01 point point.n.01 . This terminology terminology.n.01 will also besides.r.02 be applied use.v.01 to the corresponding corresponding.s.02 points point.n.01 in the f-plane . We can now nowadays.r.01 prove prove.v.04 several several.s.01 lemmas lemma.n.01 . In some some.s.04 neighborhood vicinity.n.01 in the f-plane of any any.s.01 ordinary ordinary.a.01 point point.n.01 of the graph graph.n.01 , the function function.n.01 f is be.v.01 a single individual.a.01 valued valued.s.01 , continuous continuous.a.02 function function.n.01 . We first first.r.01 show prove.v.02 that the function function.n.01 is be.v.01 single individual.a.01 valued valued.s.01 in some some.s.04 neighborhood vicinity.n.01 . With the vertex vertex.n.01 at **f in the C-plane we assume assume.v.01 that **f is be.v.01 the parametric parametric.a.01 location location.n.01 on C of an ordinary ordinary.a.01 intersection intersection.n.01 Q between C and **f . In the f-plane the coordinates coordinate.n.01 of the corresponding corresponding.s.02 point point.n.01 are equal.v.01 **f . In the C-plane we construct construct.v.03 a set set.n.02 of rectangular orthogonal.s.03 Cartesian cartesian.a.01 coordinates coordinate.n.01 u , v with the origin origin.n.04 at Q and such that such_that.s.00 both C and **f have have.v.02 finite finite.a.01 slope gradient.n.02 at Q . Near Q , both curves curve.n.01 can be represented represent.v.01 by analytic analytic.a.01 functions function.n.01 of u . In a neighborhood vicinity.n.01 of Q the difference remainder.n.03 between these functions function.n.01 is be.v.01 also besides.r.02 a single individual.a.01 valued valued.s.01 , analytic analytic.a.01 function function.n.01 of u . Furthermore furthermore.r.01 , one can find determine.v.01 a neighborhood vicinity.n.01 of Q in which the difference remainder.n.03 function function.n.01 is be.v.01 monotone flat.s.11 , for since it is be.v.01 analytic analytic.a.01 it can have have.v.01 only entirely.r.02 a finite finite.a.01 number number.n.02 of extrema extreme_point.n.01 in any interval interval.n.02 . Now now.r.01 , to find determine.v.01 **f , one needs the intersection intersection.n.01 of C and **f near near.a.01 Q . But **f is be.v.01 just merely.r.01 the curve curve.n.01 **f translated translate.v.05 without rotation rotation.n.01 through a small small.a.01 arc arc.n.02 , for **f is always always.r.01 obtained obtain.v.01 by rotating revolve.v.01 C through exactly precisely.r.01 90 ` . The arc arc.n.02 is be.v.02 itself a segment section.n.04 of an analytic analytic.a.01 curve curve.n.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 if e is be.v.01 sufficiently sufficiently.r.01 small small.a.01 , there can be be.v.05 only entirely.r.02 one one.s.01 intersection intersection.n.01 of C and **f near Q , for if there were be.v.05 more more.n.01 than one one.s.01 intersection intersection.n.01 for every e then then.r.02 the difference remainder.n.03 between C and **f near near.a.01 Q would not not.r.01 be be.v.01 a monotone monotonic.a.01 function function.n.01 . Therefore therefore.r.01 , **f is be.v.01 single individual.a.01 valued valued.s.01 near near.a.01 Q . Thus therefore.r.01 **f is be.v.01 also besides.r.02 continuous continuous.a.02 at **f , and in a neighborhood vicinity.n.01 of **f which does not not.r.01 contain incorporate.v.02 a tangent tangent.n.01 point point.n.01 . We turn turn.v.01 now nowadays.r.01 to the set set.n.02 of tangent tangent.n.01 points point.n.01 on the graph graph.n.01 . This set set.n.02 must consist of consist_of.v.00 isolated isolated.s.01 points point.n.01 and closed intervals closed_interval.n.01 . The fact fact.n.01 that there can not not.r.01 be exist.v.01 any limit points limit.n.05 of the set set.n.02 except in closed intervals closed_interval.n.01 follows follow.v.03 from the argument argument.n.01 used use.v.01 in Lemma lemma.n.01 1 , namely namely.r.01 , that near any tangent tangent.n.01 point point.n.01 in the C-plane the curves curve.n.01 C and **f are be.v.01 analytic analytic.a.01 , and therefore therefore.r.01 the difference remainder.n.03 between them must be be.v.05 a monotone monotonic.a.01 function function.n.01 in some neighborhood vicinity.n.01 on either side side.n.01 of the tangent tangent.n.01 point point.n.01 . This prevents prevent.v.02 the occurrence happening.n.01 of an infinite infinite.a.01 sequence sequence.n.01 of isolated isolated.s.01 tangent tangent.n.01 points point.n.01 . In some some.s.04 neighborhood vicinity.n.01 of an isolated isolated.s.01 tangent tangent.n.01 point point.n.01 in the f-plane , say suppose.v.01 **f , the function function.n.01 **f is be.v.01 either double double.s.03 valued valued.s.01 or has have.v.02 no values value.n.01 defined define.v.03 , except at the tangent tangent.n.01 point point.n.01 itself , where it is be.v.01 single individual.a.01 valued valued.s.01 . A tangent tangent.n.01 point point.n.01 Q in the C-plane occurs occur.v.03 when C and **f are be.v.01 tangent tangent.n.01 to one another . A continuous continuous.a.02 change change.n.01 in t through an amount measure.n.02 e results leave.v.07 in a translation translation.n.02 along an analytic analytic.a.01 arc arc.n.02 of the curve curve.n.01 **f . There are exist.v.01 three three.s.01 possibilities possibility.n.02 : ( a ) **f remains stay.v.01 tangent tangent.n.01 to C as it is translated translate.v.05 ; ( b ) **f moves travel.v.01 away from C and does not not.r.01 intersect intersect.v.01 it at all at_all.r.01 for **f ; ( c ) **f cuts across traverse.v.01 C and there are exist.v.01 two two.s.01 ordinary ordinary.a.01 intersections intersection.n.01 for every t in **f . In the second second.s.01 category class.n.01 the function function.n.01 **f has have.v.02 no values value.n.01 defined define.v.03 in a neighborhood vicinity.n.01 **f . In the third third.s.01 category class.n.01 the function function.n.01 is be.v.01 double double.s.03 valued valued.s.01 in this interval interval.n.02 . The same same.a.01 remarks remark.n.01 apply apply.v.02 to an interval interval.n.02 on the other other.a.01 side side.n.01 of **f . Again again.r.01 , the analyticity analyticity.n.01 of the two two.n.01 curves curve.n.01 guarantee guarantee.v.01 that such such.s.01 intervals interval.n.02 exist exist.v.01 . In the neighborhood vicinity.n.01 of an end point end_point.n.01 of an interval interval.n.02 of tangent tangent.n.01 points point.n.01 in the f-plane the function function.n.01 is be.v.01 two two.s.01 valued valued.s.01 or no no.a.01 valued valued.s.01 on one one.s.01 side side.n.01 , and is be.v.01 a single individual.a.01 valued valued.s.01 function function.n.01 consisting consist_of.v.00 entirely wholly.r.01 of tangent tangent.n.01 points point.n.01 on the other other.a.01 side side.n.07 . With the above above.r.01 results solution.n.02 we can make make.v.01 the following following.s.01 remarks remark.n.01 about the graph graph.n.01 of f . First first.r.01 , for any value value.n.01 of t for which all all.a.01 values value.n.01 of f ( t ) are be.v.01 ordinary ordinary.a.01 points point.n.01 the number number.n.02 of values value.n.01 of f ( t ) must be be.v.01 odd odd.a.01 . For it is be.v.01 clear clear.a.01 that the total full.s.03 number number.n.02 of ordinary ordinary.a.01 intersections intersection.n.01 of C and **f must be be.v.01 even even.a.01 ( otherwise otherwise.r.01 , starting start.v.09 in the interior inside.n.01 of C , **f could not not.r.01 finally last.r.02 return return.v.01 to the interior inside.n.01 ) , and the center center.n.01 of rotation rotation.n.01 at t is be.v.02 the argument argument.n.01 of the function function.n.01 , not not.r.01 a value value.n.01 . Therefore therefore.r.01 , for any value value.n.01 of t the number number.n.02 of values value.n.01 of f ( t ) is be.v.01 equal adequate.a.01 to the ( finite finite.a.01 ) number number.n.02 of tangent tangent.n.01 points point.n.01 corresponding correspond.v.03 to the argument argument.n.01 t plus an odd odd.a.01 number number.n.02 . The graph graph.n.01 of f has have.v.01 at least at_least.r.02 one one.s.01 component component.n.01 whose support documentation.n.03 is be.v.02 the entire entire.s.01 interval interval.n.02 [ 0 zero.n.02 , T ] . We suppose suppose.v.01 not not.r.01 . Then then.r.02 every component part.n.01 of the graph graph.n.01 of f must be defined define.v.03 over a bounded bounded.s.01 sub-interval sub-interval.n.01 . Suppose suppose.v.01 **f is defined define.v.03 in the sub-interval sub-interval.n.01 **f . Now nowadays.r.01 **f and **f must both be be.v.02 tangent tangent.n.01 points point.n.01 on the nth component part.n.01 in the f-plane ; otherwise otherwise.r.01 by Lemma lemma.n.01 1 the component part.n.01 would extend extend.v.06 beyond these points point.n.01 . Further further.r.02 , we see understand.v.02 by Lemma lemma.n.01 2 that the multiplicity multiplicity.n.01 of f can only entirely.r.02 change change.v.02 at a tangent tangent.n.01 point point.n.01 , and at such such.s.01 a point point.n.01 can only entirely.r.02 change change.v.02 by an even even.a.01 integer integer.n.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 the multiplicity multiplicity.n.01 of **f for a given apt.s.01 t must be be.v.01 an even even.a.01 number number.n.02 . This is be.v.01 true true.a.01 of all all.a.01 components component.n.01 which have have.v.01 such such.s.01 a bounded bounded.s.01 support documentation.n.03 . But this is constitute.v.01 a contradiction contradiction.n.02 , for we know know.v.01 that the multiplicity multiplicity.n.01 of f ( t ) is be.v.01 odd odd.a.01 for every t . There must be exist.v.01 an odd odd.a.01 number number.n.02 of such such.s.01 components component.n.01 , which will be be.v.01 called name.v.01 complete complete.a.01 components component.n.01 . The remaining leftover.s.01 ( incomplete incomplete.a.01 ) components component.n.01 all all.a.01 have have.v.01 an even even.a.01 number number.n.02 of ordinary ordinary.a.01 points point.n.01 at any argument argument.n.01 , and are defined define.v.03 only entirely.r.02 on a proper proper.a.01 sub-interval sub-interval.n.01 of [ 0 zero.n.02 , T ] . We must now nowadays.r.01 show prove.v.02 that on some some.s.04 component part.n.01 of the graph graph.n.01 there exist exist.v.01 two two.s.01 points point.n.01 for which the corresponding corresponding.s.02 diagonal diagonal.s.01 points point.n.01 in the C-plane are be.v.03 on opposite opposite.s.01 sides side.n.01 of C . We again again.r.01 consider consider.v.03 a fixed fixed.s.01 point point.n.01 P at **f and a variable variable.a.01 point point.n.01 Q at **f on C . We erect raise.v.09 a square square.n.01 with PQ as a side side.n.07 and with free free.a.01 corners corner.n.02 **f and **f adjacent adjacent.s.01 to P and Q respectively respectively.r.01 . As s varies change.v.03 from zero nothing.n.01 to T , the values value.n.01 of s for which **f and **f cross intersect.v.01 C will be denoted denote.v.01 by **f and **f respectively respectively.r.01 . We have have.v.01 **f , plus tangent tangent.n.01 points point.n.01 . These s-values are be.v.01 just merely.r.01 the ordinary ordinary.a.01 values value.n.01 of **f . The values value.n.01 **f are be.v.01 the ordinary ordinary.a.01 values value.n.01 at **f of a multi multi.s.00 valued valued.s.01 function function.n.01 g ( t ) which has have.v.01 components component.n.01 corresponding correspond.v.03 to those of f ( t ) . The functions function.n.01 f and b have have.v.02 exactly precisely.r.01 the same like.a.02 multiplicity multiplicity.n.01 at every argument argument.n.01 t . Now now.n.01 with P fixed fixed.s.01 at **f , **f-values occur occur.v.03 when the corner corner.n.02 **f crosses intersect.v.01 C , and are be.v.01 among the values value.n.01 of s such that such_that.s.00 **f . The roots solution.n.04 of this equation equation.n.01 are be.v.02 just merely.r.01 the ordinates ordinate.n.01 of the intersections intersection.n.01 of the graph graph.n.01 of b with a straight line straight_line.n.01 of unit unit.n.04 slope gradient.n.02 through **f in the b-plane ( the plane plane.n.02 of the graph graph.n.01 of b ) . We define define.v.03 these values value.n.01 as **f , and define define.v.03 g ( t ) in the same same.a.02 way manner.n.01 for each t . Thus therefore.r.01 we obtain obtain.v.01 g ( t ) by introducing insert.v.02 an oblique oblique.a.01 g ( t ) - axis axis.n.01 in the b-plane . These societies society.n.01 can expect expect.v.03 to face confront.v.02 difficult difficult.a.01 times time.n.03 .

As a nation state.n.04 , we feel find.v.05 an obligation duty.n.01 to assist help.v.01 other other.a.01 countries state.n.04 in their development development.n.02 ; but this obligation duty.n.01 pertains pertain.v.02 only entirely.r.02 to countries state.n.04 which are honestly honestly.r.01 seeking search.v.01 to become become.v.02 responsible responsible.a.01 members member.n.01 of a stable stable.s.02 and forward-moving advancing.s.01 world world.n.08 community community.n.03 .

But neither was be.v.01 the statement statement.n.01 empirical empirical.a.01 , for goodness good.n.03 was be.v.02 not not.r.01 a quality quality.n.01 like red red.s.01 or squeaky screaky.s.02 that could be seen see.v.01 or heard hear.v.01 . What were they to do make.v.01 , then then.r.02 , with these awkward awkward.s.01 judgments judgment.n.02 of value value.n.02 ? To find line_up.v.02 a place place.n.03 for them in their theory theory.n.01 of knowledge cognition.n.01 would require necessitate.v.01 them to revise revise.v.01 the theory theory.n.01 radically radically.r.01 , and yet that theory theory.n.01 was be.v.02 what they regarded as think_of.v.03 their most most.a.02 important important.a.01 discovery discovery.n.03 . It appeared appear.v.04 that the theory theory.n.01 could be saved spare.v.01 in one one.s.01 way means.n.01 only entirely.r.02 . This is be.v.02 the course course.n.02 the positivists positivist.n.01 took take.v.20 . They explained explain.v.01 value value.n.02 judgments judgment.n.02 by explaining explain.v.01 them away aside.r.02 . Now nowadays.r.01 I do not not.r.01 think think.v.02 their view position.n.03 will do . But before discussing discourse.v.01 it , I should like to record record.v.01 one one.s.01 vote vote.n.01 of thanks thanks.n.01 to them for the clarity clarity.n.01 with which they have stated submit.v.02 their case case.n.09 . It has been said allege.v.01 of John Stuart Mill NE that he wrote write.v.02 so so.r.01 clearly clearly.r.01 that he could be found out determine.v.01 . This theory theory.n.01 has been put frame.v.04 so so.r.01 clearly clearly.r.01 and precisely precisely.r.01 that it deserves deserve.v.01 criticism criticism.n.02 of the same same.a.02 kind kind.n.01 , and this I will do make.v.01 my best best.a.01 to supply supply.v.01 . The theory theory.n.01 claims claim.v.01 to show prove.v.02 by analysis analysis.n.03 that when we say state.v.01 , `` That is be.v.01 good good.a.01 '' , we do not not.r.01 mean mean.v.01 to assert assert.v.01 a character quality.n.03 of the subject subject.n.05 of which we are thinking think.v.03 . I shall argue argue.v.01 that we do mean mean.v.01 to do make.v.01 just precisely.r.01 that . Let let.v.01 us work through work_through.v.01 an example example.n.01 , and the simpler simple.a.01 and commoner common.a.01 the better better.a.01 . Let us take consider.v.03 a set set.n.01 of circumstances circumstance.n.01 in which I happen to be interested interested.a.01 on the legislative legislative.a.01 side side.n.02 and in which I think think.v.02 every one of us might naturally naturally.r.01 make make.v.01 such such.s.01 a statement statement.n.01 . We come upon fall_upon.v.01 a rabbit rabbit.n.01 that has been caught capture.v.06 in one of the brutal brutal.s.04 traps trap.n.01 in common common.a.02 use use.n.01 . There are be.v.05 signs sign.n.01 that it has struggled struggle.v.02 for days day.n.01 to escape escape.v.01 and that in a frenzy craze.n.02 of hunger hunger.n.01 , pain pain.n.01 , and fear fear.n.01 , it has all but all_but.r.00 eaten eat.v.01 off its own own.s.01 leg leg.n.01 . The attempt attempt.n.01 failed fail.v.02 : the animal animal.n.01 is be.v.01 now now.r.01 dead dead.a.01 . As we think of remember.v.02 the long long.a.01 and excruciating agonizing.s.01 pain pain.n.01 it must have suffered digest.v.03 , we are be.v.01 very very.r.01 likely likely.a.01 to say state.v.01 : `` It was be.v.01 a bad bad.a.01 thing thing.n.01 that the little small.a.01 animal animal.n.01 should suffer suffer.v.06 so so.r.01 '' . The positivist positivist.n.01 tells tell.v.02 us that when we say state.v.01 this we are only merely.r.01 expressing express.v.01 our present present.a.01 emotion emotion.n.01 . I hold harbor.v.01 , on the contrary contrarily.r.02 , that we mean mean.v.01 to assert assert.v.01 something of the pain pain.n.01 itself , namely namely.r.01 , that it was be.v.01 bad bad.a.01 - bad bad.a.01 when and as it occurred happen.v.01 . Consider consider.v.04 what follows follow.v.03 from the positivist positivist.n.01 view position.n.03 . On that view position.n.03 , nothing nothing.n.01 good good.a.01 or bad bad.a.01 happened happen.v.01 in the case case.n.01 until I came on come_on.v.01 the scene scene.n.01 and made make.v.01 my remark remark.n.01 . The pain pain.n.01 of the rabbit rabbit.n.01 was be.v.01 not not.r.01 itself bad bad.a.01 ; nothing nothing.n.01 evil evil.a.01 was happening happen.v.01 when that pain pain.n.01 was being endured digest.v.03 ; badness bad.n.01 , in the only alone.s.03 sense sense.n.02 in which it is involved involve.v.05 at all at_all.r.01 , waited wait.v.02 for its appearance appearance.n.02 till I came arrive.v.01 and looked look.v.01 and felt feel.v.03 . Now nowadays.r.01 that this is be.v.01 at odds at_odds.s.01 with our meaning meaning.n.01 may be shown prove.v.02 as follows as_follows.r.01 . Let let.v.01 us put put.v.01 to ourselves the hypothesis hypothesis.n.01 that we had not not.r.01 come on come_on.v.01 the scene scene.n.01 and that the rabbit rabbit.n.01 never never.r.01 was discovered fall_upon.v.01 . Are be.v.01 we prepared prepared.a.01 to say allege.v.01 that in that case event.n.02 nothing nothing.n.01 bad bad.a.01 occurred happen.v.01 in the sense sense.n.02 in which we said allege.v.01 it did ? Clearly clearly.r.01 not not.r.01 . Indeed indeed.r.01 we should say allege.v.01 , on the contrary contrarily.r.02 , that the accident accident.n.02 of our later later.s.01 discovery discovery.n.01 made cause.v.01 no difference difference.n.01 whatever to the badness bad.n.01 of the animal animal.n.01 's pain pain.n.01 , that it would have been be.v.01 every every.s.01 whit shred.n.01 as bad bad.a.01 whether a chance casual.s.04 passer-by passerby.n.01 happened happen.v.02 later by_and_by.r.01 to discover fall_upon.v.01 the body body.n.01 and feel feel.v.01 repugnance repugnance.n.01 or not not.r.01 . If so so.s.00 , then then.r.02 it is be.v.01 clear clear.a.01 that in saying state.v.01 the suffering agony.n.02 was be.v.01 bad bad.a.01 we are not not.r.01 expressing express.v.01 our feelings feeling.n.01 only entirely.r.02 . We are saying allege.v.01 that the pain pain.n.01 was be.v.01 bad bad.a.01 when and as it occurred happen.v.01 and before anyone took assume.v.03 an attitude attitude.n.01 toward it . The first first.a.01 argument argument.n.01 is be.v.01 thus thus.r.02 an ideal ideal.s.02 experiment experiment.n.01 in which we use use.v.01 the method method.n.01 of difference difference.n.01 . The second second.s.01 argument argument.n.01 applies use.v.01 the method method.n.01 in the reverse rearward.s.02 way manner.n.01 . It ideally ideally.r.01 removes remove.v.01 the past past.a.01 event event.n.01 , and shows prove.v.02 that this would render render.v.01 false false.a.01 what we mean mean.v.01 to say allege.v.01 , whereas on positivist positivist.a.01 grounds reason.n.01 it should not not.r.01 . Let let.v.01 us suppose speculate.v.01 that the animal animal.n.01 did not not.r.01 in fact in_fact.r.01 fall fall.v.01 into the trap trap.n.01 and did not not.r.01 suffer suffer.v.06 at all at_all.r.01 , but that we mistakenly mistakenly.r.01 believe believe.v.01 it did , and say allege.v.01 as before that its suffering agony.n.02 was be.v.01 an evil evil.a.01 thing thing.n.01 . On the positivist positivist.a.01 theory theory.n.01 , everything I sought try.v.01 to express express.v.01 by calling call.v.02 it evil evil.a.01 in the first first.a.01 case case.n.01 is be.v.01 still still.r.01 present present.a.02 in the second second.s.01 . In the only alone.s.03 sense sense.n.02 in which badness bad.n.01 is involved involve.v.01 at all at_all.r.01 , whatever was be.v.01 bad bad.a.01 in the first first.a.01 case case.n.01 is be.v.01 still still.r.01 present present.a.02 in its entirety entirety.n.01 , since all that is expressed express.v.01 in either case case.n.01 is be.v.02 a state state.n.02 of feeling feeling.n.01 , and that feeling feeling.n.01 is be.v.05 still still.r.01 there . And our question question.n.01 is be.v.02 , is be.v.01 such such.s.01 an implication deduction.n.03 consistent consistent.a.01 with what we meant mean.v.01 ? Clearly clearly.r.01 it is be.v.01 not not.r.01 . If anyone asked ask.v.01 us , after we made make.v.01 the remark remark.n.01 that the suffering agony.n.02 was be.v.01 a bad bad.a.01 thing thing.n.01 , whether we should think think.v.01 it relevant relevant.a.01 to what we said allege.v.01 to learn learn.v.02 that the incident incident.n.01 had never never.r.01 occurred happen.v.01 and no no.a.01 pain pain.n.01 had been suffered digest.v.03 at all at_all.r.01 , we should say allege.v.01 that it made cause.v.01 all all.a.01 the difference deviation.n.01 in the world , that what we were asserting assert.v.01 to be be.v.01 bad bad.a.01 was be.v.02 precisely precisely.r.01 the suffering agony.n.02 we thought think.v.02 had occurred happen.v.01 back back.r.02 there there.r.01 , that if this had not not.r.01 occurred happen.v.01 , there was be.v.05 nothing nothing.n.01 left leave.v.12 to be be.v.01 bad bad.a.01 , and that our assertion assertion.n.01 was be.v.01 in that case case.n.01 mistaken false.s.02 . The suggestion suggestion.n.02 that in saying state.v.01 something evil evil.a.01 had occurred happen.v.01 we were after all after_all.r.01 making make.v.01 no mistake mistake.n.02 , because we had never never.r.01 meant mean.v.01 anyhow anyhow.r.01 to say allege.v.01 anything about the past past.a.01 suffering agony.n.02 , seems look.v.02 to me merely merely.r.01 frivolous frivolous.a.01 . On the theory theory.n.01 before us , such such.s.01 relief relief.n.01 would be be.v.01 groundless baseless.s.01 , for in that suffering agony.n.02 itself there was be.v.05 nothing nothing.n.01 bad bad.a.01 at all at_all.r.01 , and hence therefore.r.01 in its nonoccurrence nonoccurrence.n.01 there would be be.v.05 nothing nothing.n.01 to be relieved relieve.v.01 about . The positivist positivist.a.01 theory theory.n.01 would here here.r.02 distort falsify.v.01 our meaning meaning.n.01 beyond recognition recognition.n.02 . So far as I can see visualize.v.01 , there is only merely.r.01 one one.s.01 way out exit.n.01 for the positivist positivist.n.01 . He holds harbor.v.01 that goodness good.n.03 and badness bad.n.01 lie in dwell.v.02 feelings feeling.n.01 of approval approval.n.02 or disapproval disapproval.n.01 . And there is a way means.n.01 in which he might hold harbor.v.01 that badness bad.n.01 did in this case event.n.02 precede predate.v.01 our own own.s.01 feeling feeling.n.01 of disapproval disapproval.n.01 without belonging to belong_to.v.01 the pain pain.n.01 itself . The pain pain.n.01 in itself was be.v.01 neutral neutral.s.07 ; but unfortunately unfortunately.r.01 the rabbit rabbit.n.01 , on no no.a.01 grounds reason.n.01 at all at_all.r.01 , took up take_up.v.02 toward this neutral neutral.s.07 object object.n.04 an attitude attitude.n.01 of disapproval disapproval.n.01 and that made make.v.02 it for the first time first.r.02 , and in the only alone.s.03 intelligible apprehensible.s.01 sense sense.n.02 , bad bad.a.01 . This way means.n.01 of escape evasion.n.03 is be.v.01 theoretically theoretically.r.01 possible possible.a.01 , but since it has have.v.01 grave grave.s.01 difficulties difficulty.n.04 of its own own.s.01 and has not not.r.01 , so far as I know know.v.01 , been be.v.01 urged urge.v.01 by positivists positivist.n.01 , it is be.v.01 perhaps possibly.r.01 best best.a.01 not not.r.01 to spend spend.v.02 time time.n.02 over it . I come arrive.v.01 now nowadays.r.01 to a third third.s.01 argument argument.n.01 , which again again.r.01 is be.v.01 very very.r.01 simple simple.a.01 . When we come upon fall_upon.v.01 the rabbit rabbit.n.01 and make make.v.01 our remark remark.n.01 about its suffering agony.n.02 being be.v.01 a bad bad.a.01 thing thing.n.01 , we presumably presumably.r.01 make make.v.01 it with some feeling feeling.n.01 ; the positivists positivist.n.01 are be.v.01 plainly obviously.r.01 right correct.a.01 in saying allege.v.01 that such such.s.01 remarks remark.n.01 do make.v.01 usually normally.r.01 express express.v.01 feeling feeling.n.01 . And suppose speculate.v.01 that the circumstances circumstance.n.01 have now nowadays.r.01 so so.r.01 changed change.v.02 that the feeling feeling.n.01 with which we made make.v.01 the remark remark.n.01 in the first place in_the_first_place.r.01 has faded evanesce.v.01 . The pathetic hapless.s.01 evidence evidence.n.01 is be.v.03 no longer no_longer.r.01 before us ; and we are be.v.01 now nowadays.r.01 so so.r.01 fatigued exhausted.s.01 in body body.n.01 and mind mind.n.01 that feeling feeling.n.01 is be.v.01 , as we say as_we_say.r.01 , quite quite.r.02 dead all_in.s.01 . In these circumstances circumstance.n.01 , since what was expressed express.v.01 by the remark remark.n.01 when first first.r.02 made make.v.01 is be.v.01 , on the theory theory.n.01 before us , simply plainly.r.02 absent absent.a.01 , the remark remark.n.01 now nowadays.r.01 expresses express.v.01 nothing nothing.n.01 . It is be.v.01 as empty empty.s.02 as the word word.n.01 `` Hurrah '' would be be.v.01 when there was be.v.05 no enthusiasm enthusiasm.n.01 behind it . And this seems look.v.02 to me untrue untrue.s.01 . When we repeat repeat.v.01 the remark remark.n.01 that such such.s.01 suffering agony.n.02 was be.v.01 a bad bad.a.01 thing thing.n.01 , the feeling feeling.n.01 with which we made make.v.01 it last last.s.01 week week.n.01 may be be.v.03 at or near the vanishing point vanishing_point.n.01 , but if we were asked ask.v.01 whether we meant mean.v.01 to say allege.v.01 what we did before earlier.r.01 , we should certainly surely.r.01 answer answer.v.01 Yes . We should say allege.v.01 that we made make.v.01 our point point.n.07 with feeling feeling.n.01 the first first.a.01 time time.n.01 and little little.a.02 or no no.a.01 feeling feeling.n.01 the second second.s.01 time time.n.01 , but that it was be.v.02 the same same.a.01 point point.n.07 we were making make.v.01 . And if we can see understand.v.02 that what we meant mean.v.01 to say state.v.01 remains stay.v.01 the same same.s.04 , while the feeling feeling.n.01 varies change.v.03 from intensity intensity.n.02 to near zero zero.s.01 , it is be.v.02 not not.r.01 the feeling feeling.n.01 that we primarily chiefly.r.01 meant mean.v.01 to express express.v.01 . I come arrive.v.01 now nowadays.r.01 to a fourth fourth.s.01 consideration consideration.n.01 . Broad NE and Ross NE have lately recently.r.01 contended contest.v.01 that this fitness fitness.n.01 is be.v.01 one of the main chief.s.01 facts fact.n.02 of ethics ethical_motive.n.01 , and I suspect suspect.v.03 they are be.v.01 right correct.a.01 . But that is be.v.02 not not.r.01 exactly precisely.r.01 my point point.n.03 . My point point.n.03 is be.v.02 this : whether there is such such.s.01 fitness fitness.n.01 or not not.r.01 , we all all.a.01 assume assume.v.01 that there is , and if we do , we express express.v.01 in moral moral.s.02 judgments judgment.n.01 more more.n.01 than the subjectivists subjectivist.n.01 say allege.v.01 we do . Let let.v.01 me illustrate exemplify.v.02 . In his novel novel.n.01 The House of the Dead NE , Dostoevsky NE tells tell.v.03 of his experiences experience.n.01 in a Siberian NE prison camp prison_camp.n.01 . Whatever the unhappy unhappy.a.01 inmates convict.n.01 of such such.s.01 camps camp.n.05 are be.v.01 like today today.n.01 , Dostoevsky NE 's companions companion.n.01 were be.v.01 about approximately.r.01 as grim grim.s.01 a lot set.n.05 as can be imagined imagine.v.01 . `` I have heard hear.v.01 stories narrative.n.01 '' , he writes write.v.02 , `` of the most most.r.01 terrible awful.s.02 , the most most.r.01 unnatural unnatural.a.01 actions action.n.01 , of the most most.r.01 monstrous atrocious.s.01 murders murder.n.01 , told tell.v.03 with the most most.r.01 spontaneous spontaneous.a.01 , childishly childishly.r.01 merry gay.s.02 laughter laugh.n.01 '' . Most most.a.01 of us would say allege.v.01 that in this delight delight.n.01 at the killing killing.n.01 of others or the causing induce.v.02 of suffering agony.n.02 there is something very very.r.01 unfitting inappropriate.s.02 . Now now.n.01 on the subjectivist subjectivist.n.01 view position.n.03 , this answer answer.n.01 is ruled out preclude.v.02 . For before someone person.n.01 takes up take_up.v.02 an attitude attitude.n.01 toward death death.n.04 , suffering agony.n.02 , or their infliction infliction.n.02 , they have have.v.02 no moral moral.s.02 quality quality.n.01 at all at_all.r.01 . There is therefore therefore.r.01 nothing nothing.n.01 about them to which an attitude attitude.n.01 of approval approval.n.02 or condemnation condemnation.n.02 could be be.v.01 fitting fitting.s.01 . They are be.v.01 in themselves neutral neutral.s.07 , and , so far as they get get.v.01 a moral moral.s.02 quality quality.n.01 , they get get.v.01 it only entirely.r.02 through being invested endow.v.01 with it by the attitude attitude.n.01 of the onlooker onlooker.n.01 . But if that is true true.a.01 , why is be.v.01 any attitude attitude.n.01 more more.a.01 fitting fitting.s.01 than any other other.a.01 ? Would applause applause.n.01 , for example for_example.r.01 , be fitting fitting.s.02 if , apart apart.r.02 from the applause applause.n.01 , there were exist.v.01 nothing nothing.n.01 good good.a.01 to applaud applaud.v.01 ? Would condemnation condemnation.n.02 be fitting fitting.s.02 if , independently independently.r.01 of the condemnation condemnation.n.02 , there were exist.v.01 nothing nothing.n.01 bad bad.a.01 to condemn condemn.v.01 ? In such such.s.01 a case event.n.02 , any attitude attitude.n.01 would be be.v.01 as fitting fitting.s.01 or unfitting inappropriate.s.02 as any other other.a.01 , which means entail.v.01 that the notion notion.n.02 of fitness fitness.n.01 has lost lose.v.01 all point point.n.03 . Indeed indeed.r.01 we are forced coerce.v.01 to go go.v.02 much much.r.01 farther further.r.01 . If there is nothing nothing.n.01 evil evil.a.01 in these things thing.n.02 , if they get get.v.01 their moral moral.s.02 complexion complexion.n.01 only entirely.r.02 from our feeling feeling.n.01 about them , why should n't n't.r.00 they be greeted greet.v.01 with a cheer cheer.n.01 ? To greet greet.v.01 them with repulsion repugnance.n.01 would turn turn_into.v.00 what before earlier.r.01 was be.v.01 neutral neutral.s.07 into something bad bad.a.01 ; it would needlessly needlessly.r.01 bring bring.v.01 badness bad.n.01 into the world universe.n.01 ; and even even.r.01 on subjectivist subjectivist.n.01 assumptions premise.n.01 that does not not.r.01 seem look.v.02 very very.r.01 bright bright.s.03 . On the other hand on_the_other_hand.r.01 , to greet greet.v.01 them with delight delight.n.01 would convert convert.v.01 what before earlier.r.01 was be.v.01 neutral neutral.s.07 into something good good.a.01 ; it would bring bring.v.01 goodness good.n.03 into the world universe.n.01 . The injured injured.a.01 German german.a.01 veteran veteran.n.02 was be.v.02 a former erstwhile.s.01 miner miner.n.01 , twenty-four twenty-four.s.01 years year.n.01 old old.a.01 , who had been wounded injure.v.01 by shrapnel shrapnel.n.01 in the back rear.n.05 of the head head.n.01 . This resulted leave.v.07 in damage damage.n.01 to the occipital lobe occipital_lobe.n.01 and very very.r.01 probably probably.r.01 to the left left.a.01 side side.n.01 of the cerebellum cerebellum.n.01 also besides.r.02 . In any event anyhow.r.01 , the extraordinary extraordinary.a.01 result consequence.n.01 of this injury injury.n.01 was be.v.02 that he became become.v.01 `` psychically psychically.r.01 blind blind.a.01 '' , while at the same time simultaneously.r.01 , apparently apparently.r.01 , the sense of touch touch.n.02 remained stay.v.01 essentially basically.r.01 intact intact.s.02 . Psychical psychic.s.01 blindness blindness.n.01 is be.v.02 a condition condition.n.01 in which there is be.v.05 a total full.s.03 absence absence.n.01 of visual ocular.a.02 memory-images memory_image.n.01 , a condition condition.n.01 in which , for example for_example.r.01 , one is be.v.01 unable unable.s.02 to remember remember.v.01 something just just.r.03 seen see.v.01 or to conjure up raise.v.07 a memory-picture memory_picture.n.01 of the visible visible.a.01 appearance appearance.n.01 of a well-known long-familiar.s.01 friend friend.n.01 in his absence absence.n.02 . This circumstance circumstance.n.03 in the patient patient.n.01 's case case.n.04 plus the fact fact.n.01 that his tactual haptic.a.01 capacity capacity.n.01 remained stay.v.01 basically basically.r.01 in sound sound.a.01 working running.s.06 order orderliness.n.02 constitutes constitute.v.01 its exceptional exceeding.s.01 value value.n.02 for the problem problem.n.02 at hand at_hand.s.02 since the evidence evidence.n.01 presented present.v.02 by the authors writer.n.01 is be.v.01 overwhelming overpowering.s.01 that , when the patient patient.n.01 closed close.v.02 his eyes eye.n.01 , he had have.v.02 absolutely absolutely.r.01 no spatial spatial.a.01 ( that is that_is.r.00 , third-dimensional three-dimensional.s.01 ) awareness awareness.n.02 whatsoever . The necessary necessary.a.01 inference inference.n.01 , as the authors writer.n.01 themselves interpret rede.v.01 it , would seem look.v.02 to be be.v.02 this : `` ( 1 ) Spatial spatial.a.01 qualities quality.n.01 are be.v.03 not not.r.01 among those grasped grok.v.01 by the sense of touch touch.n.02 , as such intrinsically.r.01 .

The underlying implicit_in.s.01 assumption premise.n.01 , of course naturally.r.01 , is be.v.02 that only entirely.r.02 sight sight.n.03 and touch touch.n.02 enable enable.v.01 us , in any precise precise.a.01 and fully fully.r.01 dependable reliable.a.01 way manner.n.01 , to locate situate.v.01 objects object.n.01 in space space.n.01 beyond us , the other other.a.01 senses sense.n.03 being be.v.01 decidedly decidedly.r.01 inferior inferior.a.02 , if not if_not.r.01 totally wholly.r.01 inadequate inadequate.a.01 , in this regard respect.n.01 . This is be.v.01 an assumption premise.n.01 with which few few.a.01 would be disposed dispose.v.03 to quarrel quarrel.v.01 .

( 1 ) What allows let.v.01 us to think think.v.02 that the patient patient.n.01 had experience.v.03 no third-dimensional three-dimensional.s.01 representations representation.n.01 when his eyes eye.n.01 were closed close.v.02 ? ( 2 ) What evidence evidence.n.01 is there that he was be.v.01 psychically psychically.r.01 blind blind.a.01 ? ( 3 ) How can we be be.v.01 sure certain.a.02 that his sense of touch touch.n.02 was not not.r.01 profoundly profoundly.r.01 disturbed agitate.v.06 by his head head.n.01 injury injury.n.01 ? We shall consider consider.v.03 these in the inverse inverse.s.01 order ordering.n.01 of their presentation presentation.n.01 . The answer solution.n.02 the authors writer.n.01 give give.v.04 to it , therefore therefore.r.01 , is be.v.01 of supreme supreme.s.01 importance importance.n.01 . It is be.v.02 as follows as_follows.r.01 : `` The usual usual.a.01 sensitivity sensitivity.n.01 tests trial.n.02 showed read.v.08 that the specific specific.a.01 qualities quality.n.01 of skin-perceptiveness tactual_sensation.n.02 ( pressure pressure.n.05 , pain pain.n.03 , temperature temperature.n.02 ) , as well as the kinesthetic kinesthetic.a.01 sensations sensation.n.01 ( muscular muscular.a.01 feelings feeling.n.04 , feelings feeling.n.04 in the tendons tendon.n.01 and joints joint.n.01 ) , were be.v.01 , as such intrinsically.r.01 , essentially basically.r.01 intact integral.s.02 , although they seemed look.v.02 , in comparison with normal normal.a.01 reactions reaction.n.03 , to be be.v.01 somewhat reasonably.r.01 diminished diminished.s.01 over the entire entire.s.01 body body.n.01 .

The authors writer.n.01 insist insist.v.01 , however however.r.01 , that these abnormalities abnormality.n.01 in the sense of touch touch.n.02 were be.v.01 due due_to.s.00 absolutely absolutely.r.01 to no organic constituent.s.01 disorders disorder.n.01 in that sense sense.n.03 faculty faculty.n.01 but rather rather.r.01 to the injuries injury.n.01 which the patient patient.n.01 had sustained suffer.v.02 to the sense sense.n.03 of sight sight.n.03 . First of all first.r.01 , what is be.v.02 their evidence evidence.n.01 that the tactual haptic.a.01 apparatus apparatus.n.01 was be.v.01 fundamentally basically.r.01 undamaged undamaged.a.01 ?

( 2 ) The patient patient.n.01 attained achieve.v.01 an astonishing amazing.s.01 efficiency efficiency.n.02 in a new new.a.01 trade trade.n.02 . Because of his brain brain.n.01 injury injury.n.01 and the extreme extreme.s.01 damage damage.n.01 suffered suffer.v.02 to his sight sight.n.03 , the patient patient.n.01 had to train train.v.02 himself for a new new.a.01 line of work occupation.n.01 , that of a portfolio portfolio.n.01 maker maker.n.01 , an occupation occupation.n.01 requiring necessitate.v.01 a great deal batch.n.02 of precision preciseness.n.02 in the making make.v.01 of measurements measurement.n.01 and a fairly reasonably.r.01 well well.r.04 developed developed.a.01 sense sense.n.03 of form shape.n.02 and contour contour.n.01 . And so the authors writer.n.01 conclude reason.v.01 : `` The conduct demeanor.n.01 of the patient patient.n.01 in his every-day everyday.s.01 life life.n.01 and in his work employment.n.02 , even even.r.01 more than more_than.r.00 the foregoing foregoing.s.01 facts fact.n.02 [ mentioned mention.v.01 above under 1 ] , leave leave.v.06 positively positively.r.01 no room room.n.03 for doubt doubt.n.01 that the sense of touch touch.n.02 , in the ordinary ordinary.a.01 sense sense.n.02 of the word word.n.01 , was be.v.01 unaffected unaffected.a.01 ; or , to put frame.v.04 the same same.a.01 thing thing.n.03 in physiological physiological.a.01 terms term.n.01 , that the performance performance.n.03 capacity capacity.n.01 of the tactual haptic.a.01 apparatus apparatus.n.01 , from the periphery periphery.n.01 up up.r.01 to the tactual haptic.a.01 centers center.n.07 in the brain brain.n.01 , - that is that_is.r.00 , from one one.s.01 end end.n.07 to the other other.a.01 - was be.v.01 unimpaired unimpaired.a.01 '' . If the argument argument.n.01 is accepted accept.v.03 as essentially basically.r.01 sound sound.a.01 up up.r.01 to this point detail.n.01 , it remains remain.v.03 for us to consider study.v.03 whether the patient patient.n.01 's difficulties difficulty.n.03 in orienting orient.v.02 himself spatially spatially.r.01 and in locating situate.v.01 objects object.n.01 in space space.n.01 with the sense of touch touch.n.02 can be explained explain.v.01 by his defective defective.s.02 visual ocular.a.02 condition condition.n.01 . But before we can do make.v.01 this , we must first first.r.01 find discover.v.03 answers solution.n.02 to our original original.s.01 questions question.n.01 1 and 2 ; then then.r.03 we shall perhaps possibly.r.01 be be.v.03 in a position position.n.03 to provide supply.v.01 something like a complete complete.a.01 answer solution.n.02 to the question question.n.01 at hand at_hand.s.02 . In what ways manner.n.01 , then then.r.02 , did the patient patient.n.01 's psychical psychic.s.01 blindness blindness.n.01 manifest attest.v.01 itself ? He could not not.r.01 see see.v.01 objects object.n.01 as unified incorporate.s.01 , self-contained self-contained.s.01 , and organized organized.a.01 figures figure.n.06 , as a person person.n.01 does with normal normal.a.01 vision sight.n.03 . The meaning meaning.n.01 of this , as we shall see learn.v.02 , is be.v.02 that he had have.v.01 no fund store.n.02 of visual ocular.a.02 memory-images memory_image.n.01 of objects object.n.01 as objects object.n.01 ; and , therefore therefore.r.01 , he could not not.r.01 recognize spot.v.02 even even.r.01 long-familiar long-familiar.s.01 things thing.n.04 upon seeing see.v.01 them again again.r.01 . Instead alternatively.r.01 , he constantly constantly.r.02 became become.v.01 lost confused.s.03 in parts part.n.03 and components part.n.01 of them , confused confuse.v.01 some of their details detail.n.01 with those of neighboring adjacent.s.02 objects object.n.01 , and so on and_so_forth.r.01 , unless he allowed allow.v.04 time time.n.02 to `` trace trace.v.02 '' the object object.n.01 in question doubtful.s.01 through minute infinitesimal.s.01 movements movement.n.03 of the head head.n.01 and hands hand.n.01 and in this way manner.n.01 to discover detect.v.01 its contours contour.n.01 . According to his own own.s.01 testimony testimony.n.02 , he never never.r.01 actually actually.r.01 saw see.v.01 things thing.n.04 as shaped shaped.s.01 but only entirely.r.02 as generally by_and_large.r.01 amorphous amorphous.s.01 `` blots smudge.n.02 '' of color color.n.01 of a more or less approximately.r.01 indefinite indefinite.a.01 size size.n.01 ; at their edges edge.n.03 they slipped slip.v.04 pretty much pretty_much.r.01 out of focus out_of_focus.a.00 altogether wholly.r.01 . But by the tracing tracing.n.01 procedure operation.n.07 , he could , in a strange strange.a.01 obviously obviously.r.01 kinesthetic kinesthetic.a.01 manner manner.n.01 , find determine.v.01 the unseen unobserved.s.01 form shape.n.01 ; could piece patch.v.01 , as it were as_it_were.r.01 , the jumbled disorderly.s.02 mass mass.n.03 together together.r.01 into an organized organized.a.02 whole whole.n.02 and then then.r.01 recognize spot.v.02 it as a man man.n.01 or a triangle triangle.n.01 or whatever it turned out prove.v.01 to be be.v.02 . This meant entail.v.01 , concretely concretely.r.01 , that the patient patient.n.01 could not not.r.01 read read.v.01 at all at_all.r.01 without making make.v.01 writing writing.n.05 like like.a.01 movements movement.n.03 of the head head.n.01 or body torso.n.01 , became become.v.01 easily easily.r.01 confused confuse.v.02 by `` hasher marks service_stripe.n.01 '' inserted insert.v.01 between hand-written handwritten.s.01 words word.n.01 and thus therefore.r.01 confused confuse.v.01 the mark mark.n.04 for one one.s.01 of the letters letter.n.02 , and could recognize spot.v.02 a simple simple.a.01 straight line straight_line.n.01 or a curved curved.a.01 one only entirely.r.02 by tracing trace.v.02 it . The patient patient.n.01 himself denied deny.v.01 that he had have.v.01 any visual ocular.a.02 imagery imagination.n.02 at all at_all.r.01 ; and there was be.v.05 ample ample.a.01 evidence evidence.n.01 of the following following.s.01 sort kind.n.01 to corroborate confirm.v.01 him . After a conversation conversation.n.01 with another man man.n.01 , he was be.v.01 able able.a.01 to recount tell.v.03 practically practically.r.01 everything that had been said state.v.01 but could not not.r.01 describe describe.v.01 at all at_all.r.01 what the other other.a.01 man man.n.01 looked like look_like.v.01 . Nor could he call up remember.v.01 memory-pictures memory_picture.n.01 of close close.a.02 friends friend.n.01 or relatives relative.n.01 . In short concisely.r.01 , both his own own.s.01 declarations declaration.n.01 and his figural blindness figural_blindness.n.01 , when he looked look.v.01 at objects object.n.01 , seem look.v.02 to present show.v.01 undeniable undeniable.a.01 evidence evidence.n.01 that he had have.v.01 simply merely.r.01 no visual ocular.a.02 memory memory.n.03 at all at_all.r.01 . He was be.v.01 oblivious oblivious.s.01 of the form shape.n.01 of the object object.n.01 actually actually.r.01 being viewed view.v.02 , precisely precisely.r.01 because he could not not.r.01 assign impute.v.01 it to a visual ocular.a.02 shape shape.n.01 , already already.r.01 learned learn.v.02 and held retain.v.03 in visual ocular.a.02 memory memory.n.03 , as persons person.n.01 of normal normal.a.01 vision sight.n.03 do . He could not not.r.01 recognize spot.v.02 it ; he was be.v.01 absolutely absolutely.r.01 unfamiliar unfamiliar.a.01 with it because he had have.v.01 no visual ocular.a.02 memory memory.n.03 at all at_all.r.01 . Therefore therefore.r.01 , his only alone.s.03 recourse recourse.n.01 was be.v.02 to learn memorize.v.01 the shape shape.n.01 all over all_over.r.01 again again.r.01 for each new new.a.01 visual ocular.a.02 experience experience.n.01 of the same same.a.01 individual individual.a.01 object object.n.01 or type type.n.01 of object object.n.01 ; and this he could do make.v.01 only entirely.r.02 by going over review.v.03 its mass bulk.n.02 with the tracing tracing.n.01 procedure operation.n.07 . Then then.r.01 he might finally ultimately.r.01 recognize spot.v.02 it , apparently apparently.r.01 by combining unite.v.03 the visual ocular.a.02 blot smudge.n.02 , actually actually.r.02 being seen see.v.01 , with tactual haptic.a.01 feelings feeling.n.04 in the head in_the_head.r.00 or body torso.n.01 accompanying attach_to.v.01 the tracing tracing.n.01 movements movement.n.03 .

But to return return.v.01 to the main chief.s.01 line argumentation.n.02 of our inquiry inquiry.n.01 . It is be.v.01 doubtful doubtful.s.01 that Utopia utopia.n.01 is still still.r.01 widely widely.r.01 read read.v.01 because More NE was be.v.01 medieval medieval.a.01 or even even.r.01 because he was be.v.02 a martyr martyr.n.01 - indeed indeed.r.01 , it is be.v.01 likely likely.a.01 that these days day.n.02 many many.a.01 who read read.v.01 Utopia utopia.n.01 with interest interest.n.01 do not not.r.01 even even.r.01 know know.v.01 that its author writer.n.01 was be.v.02 a martyr martyr.n.01 .

Can we discover discover.v.04 what it is be.v.02 in Utopia utopia.n.01 that has evoked arouse.v.01 this response reception.n.01 ?

When we examine analyze.v.01 what each master maestro.n.01 says allege.v.01 was be.v.02 his first first.a.01 collage collage.n.01 we see learn.v.02 that much much.r.04 the same same.a.02 thing thing.n.02 happens happen.v.01 in each .

Instead alternatively.r.01 of isolating isolate.v.01 the literal actual.s.03 flatness two-dimensionality.n.01 by specifying specify.v.03 and circumscribing limit.v.02 it , the pasted glued.s.01 paper paper.n.01 or cloth fabric.n.01 releases let_go_of.v.01 and spreads spread.v.01 it , and the artist artist.n.01 seems look.v.02 to have have.v.01 nothing nothing.n.01 left leftover.s.01 but this undepicted undepicted.s.01 flatness two-dimensionality.n.01 with which to finish complete.v.01 as well as start originate.v.02 his picture painting.n.01 . The actual actual.s.02 surface surface.n.01 becomes become.v.02 both ground background.n.02 and background background.n.02 , and it turns out prove.v.01 - suddenly abruptly.r.01 and paradoxically paradoxically.r.01 - that the only alone.s.03 place stead.n.01 left leave.v.06 for a three-dimensional three-dimensional.s.01 illusion illusion.n.01 is be.v.03 in front ahead.r.01 of , upon , the surface surface.n.01 . In their very very.s.01 first first.a.01 collages collage.n.01 , Braque NE and Picasso NE draw trace.v.02 or paint paint.v.02 over and on the affixed affixed.a.01 paper paper.n.01 or cloth fabric.n.01 , so that certain of the principal chief.s.01 features feature.n.01 of their subjects subject.n.02 as depicted picture.v.02 seem appear.v.04 to thrust out push_out.v.01 into real real.a.01 , bas-relief bas_relief.n.01 space space.n.02 - or to be about to do make.v.01 so - while the rest remainder.n.01 of the subject subject.n.02 remains stay.v.01 imbedded implant.v.01 in , or flat flat.s.01 upon , the surface surface.n.01 . And the surface surface.n.01 is driven back back.r.01 , in its very very.s.01 surfaceness , only entirely.r.02 by this contrast contrast.n.01 . In the upper upper.s.02 center center.n.01 of Braque NE 's first first.a.01 collage collage.n.01 , Fruit Dish NE ( in Douglas Cooper NE 's collection collection.n.01 ) , a bunch bunch.n.01 of grapes grape.n.01 is rendered interpret.v.03 with such such.s.01 conventionally conventionally.r.01 vivid graphic.s.05 sculptural sculptural.a.01 effect impression.n.02 as to lift raise.v.02 it practically practically.r.01 off the picture plane picture_plane.n.01 . Yet the violent violent.s.03 immediacy immediacy.n.01 of the wallpaper wallpaper.n.01 strips strip.n.01 pasted glue.v.01 to the paper paper.n.01 , and the only merely.r.01 lesser lesser.a.01 immediacy immediacy.n.01 of block capitals block_letter.n.01 that simulate imitate.v.01 window window.n.03 lettering inscription.n.01 , manage pull_off.v.03 somehow somehow.r.01 to push push.v.01 the grape grape.n.01 cluster bunch.n.01 back back.r.01 into place stead.n.01 on the picture plane picture_plane.n.01 so so.r.02 that it does not not.r.01 `` jump leap_out.v.01 '' .

Why should a white white.a.02 hotel hotel.n.01 be set down set_down.v.03 in the center center.n.01 of Black Bottom NE ? But nevertheless however.r.01 it looked look.v.02 respectable respectable.a.01 . He was be.v.01 glad glad.s.03 to have have.v.01 it there there.r.01 . The rest remainder.n.01 of Black Bottom NE was be.v.01 a rabbit warren warren.n.04 of homes dwelling.n.01 in every condition condition.n.01 of neglect neglect.n.02 , disrepair disrepair.n.01 and careful careful.a.01 upkeep care.n.06 .

The yards yard.n.02 , front front.a.01 and back back.a.01 , were be.v.01 narrow narrow.a.01 ; some were be.v.01 trash dumps dump.n.02 , some had have.v.02 flower gardens flower_garden.n.01 . Behind were be.v.05 privies outhouse.n.01 , for there was exist.v.01 no sewage system sewage_system.n.01 . After looking look.v.01 about about.r.02 a bit a_bit.r.01 , Wilson NE discovered detect.v.01 beyond Black Bottom NE , across the river river.n.01 and far far.r.01 removed distant.s.04 from the white white.n.01 city city.n.01 , a considerable considerable.a.01 tract tract.n.01 of land land.n.02 , and it occurred occur.v.02 to him that the church church.n.02 and the better better.a.01 Negro NE homes dwelling.n.01 might gradually gradually.r.01 be moved move.v.04 to this plot plot.n.01 . He talked about discourse.v.01 it to the Presiding Elder NE . The Presiding Elder NE looked look.v.01 him over rather rather.r.02 carefully carefully.r.01 . He was be.v.01 not not.r.01 sure certain.a.02 what kind kind.n.01 of a man man.n.01 he had have.v.01 in hand in_hand.s.00 . But there was be.v.05 one one.s.01 thing matter.n.01 that he had to stress stress.v.01 , and that was be.v.02 that the contribution contribution.n.03 to the general general.a.01 church church.n.02 expenses expense.n.01 , the dollar dollar.n.01 money money.n.01 , had been seriously seriously.r.01 falling behind fall_back.v.04 in this church church.n.02 , and that must be looked after look_after.v.01 immediately immediately.r.01 . In fact in_fact.r.01 , he intimated intimate.v.01 clearly clearly.r.01 that that was be.v.02 the reason reason.n.01 that Wilson NE had been sent send.v.01 here here.r.03 - to make make.v.03 a larger bigger.s.01 contribution contribution.n.03 of dollar dollar.n.01 money money.n.01 . Wilson NE stressed stress.v.01 the fact fact.n.01 that clear clear.a.01 as this was be.v.01 , they must have have.v.01 a better better.a.01 church church.n.02 , a more more.a.01 business-like businesslike.s.01 conduct demeanor.n.01 of the church church.n.01 organization organization.n.01 , and an effort attempt.n.01 to get bring_out.v.07 this religious religious.s.04 center center.n.03 out of its rut rut.n.02 of wild wild.a.01 worship worship.n.01 into a modern modern.s.03 church church.n.01 organization organization.n.01 . The Presiding Elder NE was be.v.01 sure certain.a.02 that that would be be.v.01 impossible impossible.a.01 . But he told order.v.01 Wilson NE to `` go ahead go_ahead.v.01 and try try.v.01 '' . And Wilson NE tried try.v.01 . It did seem look.v.02 impossible impossible.a.01 . The bank depository_financial_institution.n.01 which held bear.v.11 the mortgage mortgage.n.01 on the old old.a.02 church church.n.02 declared declare.v.01 that the interest interest.n.04 was be.v.01 considerably well.r.07 in arrears in_arrears.s.00 , and the real estate real_property.n.01 people people.n.01 said state.v.01 flatly flatly.r.01 that the land land.n.01 across the river river.n.01 was being held hold.v.36 for an eventual eventual.s.01 development development.n.06 for white white.n.01 working working.s.01 people people.n.01 who were coming in enter.v.01 , and that none would be sold sell.v.01 to colored colored.s.02 folk folk.n.01 . When it was proposed propose.v.01 to rebuild rebuild.v.01 the church church.n.02 , Wilson NE found discover.v.04 that the terms price.n.02 for a new new.a.01 mortgage mortgage.n.01 were be.v.01 very very.r.01 high high.a.01 . He was be.v.01 sure certain.a.02 that he could do do.v.04 better better.r.01 if he went to attend.v.01 Atlanta NE to get get.v.03 the deal deal.n.01 financed finance.v.01 . But when this proposal proposal.n.01 was made make.v.01 to his Deacon Board NE , he met meet.v.01 unanimous consentaneous.s.01 opposition confrontation.n.04 . The church church.n.02 certainly surely.r.01 would not not.r.01 be removed remove.v.01 . It had been be.v.03 here here.r.01 fifty fifty.s.01 years year.n.01 . It was going to stay stay.v.02 forever everlastingly.r.01 . It was be.v.01 hardly barely.r.01 possible possible.a.01 to get receive.v.02 any argument controversy.n.01 on the subject subject.n.01 . As for rebuilding rebuilding.n.01 , well , that might be looked into investigate.v.01 , but there was exist.v.01 no hurry hurry.n.01 , no hurry hurry.n.01 at all at_all.r.01 . Wilson NE again again.r.01 went travel.v.01 downtown business_district.n.01 to a different different.s.02 banker banker.n.01 , an intelligent intelligent.a.01 young young.a.01 white man white_man.n.01 who seemed look.v.02 rather rather.r.02 sympathetic sympathetic.a.02 , but he shook shake.v.02 his head head.n.01 . `` Reverend NE '' , he said state.v.01 , `` I think think.v.02 you do n't n't.r.00 quite quite.r.02 understand understand.v.01 the situation situation.n.01 here here.r.02 . Do n't n't.r.00 you see understand.v.02 the amount of money sum.n.01 that has been invested invest.v.01 by whites white.n.01 around that church church.n.02 ? Tenements tenement.n.01 , stores shop.n.01 , saloons barroom.n.01 , some gambling gambling.n.01 , I hope hope.v.01 not not.r.01 too much too_much.s.00 . The colored colored.s.02 people people.n.01 are getting get.v.01 employment employment.n.02 at Kent House NE and other other.a.01 places topographic_point.n.01 , and they are be.v.03 near near.a.01 their places topographic_point.n.01 of employment employment.n.02 . Now , if I were be.v.02 you I would just merely.r.01 plan plan.v.03 to repair repair.n.01 the old old.a.02 church church.n.02 so so.r.02 it would last survive.v.01 for five five.s.01 or ten ten.s.01 years year.n.01 . By that time time.n.01 , perhaps possibly.r.01 something better better.a.01 can be done make.v.01 '' . Then then.r.01 Wilson NE asked ask.v.01 , `` What about this Kent House NE which you mention mention.n.01 ? I do n't n't.r.00 understand understand.v.01 why a white white.a.02 hotel hotel.n.01 should be be.v.03 down down.a.01 here here.r.01 '' . The young young.a.01 banker banker.n.01 looked look.v.01 at him with a certain certain.s.01 surprise surprise.n.01 , and then then.r.01 he said state.v.01 flatly flatly.r.01 : `` I'm afraid afraid.s.02 I can't tell tell.v.02 you anything in particular particularly.r.02 about Kent House NE . You 'll have to find out learn.v.02 about it on your own own.s.01 . Hope hope.v.02 to see meet.v.01 you again again.r.01 '' . And he dismissed dismiss.v.03 the colored colored.s.02 pastor curate.n.01 . It was next following.s.02 day day.n.03 that Sojourner NE came come.v.01 and sat sit_down.v.01 beside him and took take.v.04 his hand hand.n.01 . `` No '' , said state.v.01 Wilson NE , `` I do n't n't.r.00 . I was just just.r.03 asking ask.v.01 about it . What is be.v.02 it '' ? `` It 's a house of prostitution whorehouse.n.01 for white men white_man.n.01 with white white.a.02 girls girl.n.01 as inmates inmate.n.01 .

They buy buy.v.01 some supplies supplies.n.00 from our colored colored.s.02 grocers grocer.n.01 and they are patronized sponsor.v.01 by some of the best best.a.01 white white.a.02 gentlemen gentleman.n.01 in town town.n.01 '' . Wilson NE stared gaze.v.01 at her . `` My dear beloved.n.01 , you must be be.v.01 mistaken misguided.s.02 '' . `` Talk talk.v.01 to Mrs. Catt NE '' , she said state.v.01 . This , of course naturally.r.01 , was be.v.02 the sort kind.n.01 of thing thing.n.05 that used to take place happen.v.01 in Southern southern.a.01 cities city.n.01 - putting put.v.01 white white.a.02 houses of prostitution whorehouse.n.01 colored colored.s.02 girls girl.n.01 in colored colored.s.02 neighborhoods neighborhood.n.02 and carrying conduct.v.01 them on openly openly.r.01 . But it had largely largely.r.01 disappeared disappear.v.01 on account of protest protest.n.02 by the whites white.n.01 and through growing growing.s.00 resentment resentment.n.01 on the part of the Negroes NE as they became become.v.01 more more.r.01 educated educated.a.01 and got get.v.01 better better.a.01 wages wage.n.01 . But this situation situation.n.01 of Kent House NE was be.v.01 more more.r.01 subtle elusive.s.03 . The wages wage.n.01 involved involve.v.01 were be.v.01 larger bigger.s.01 and more more.r.01 regular regular.a.01 . The inmates inmate.n.01 were be.v.01 white white.a.02 and from out knocked_out.s.01 of town town.n.01 , avoiding avoid.v.01 local local.s.00 friction clash.n.02 . The backing backing.n.01 from the white white.a.02 town town.n.02 was be.v.01 greater great.s.01 and there was exist.v.01 little little.a.02 publicity promotion.n.01 . Good good.a.01 wages wage.n.01 , patronage backing.n.01 and subscription subscription.n.02 of various assorted.s.02 kinds kind.n.01 stopped check.v.18 open open.a.11 protest protest.n.02 from Negroes NE . And yet yet.r.01 Wilson NE knew know.v.03 that this place place.n.02 must go go.v.03 or he must go go.v.03 . And for him to leave leave.v.08 this job occupation.n.01 now nowadays.r.01 without accomplishing carry_through.v.01 anything would mean entail.v.01 practically practically.r.01 the end end.n.03 of his career career.n.01 in the Methodist church methodist_church.n.01 , if not not.r.01 in all all.a.01 churches church.n.02 . There was be.v.05 a fog fog.n.01 , which increased increase.v.01 the darkness dark.n.01 of the night night.n.01 . Two two.s.01 gas lamps gas_lamp.n.01 were be.v.01 no no.r.01 more more.r.01 than a misleading deceptive.s.02 glow luminescence.n.02 . He might have been be.v.05 anywhere anywhere.r.01 or nowhere nowhere.r.01 . The pretence pretension.n.01 was be.v.02 that he was delivering deliver.v.02 a prescription prescription_drug.n.01 from Dr. Verdi NE . Secretary of State foreign_minister.n.01 Seward NE was be.v.01 a sick ill.a.01 man man.n.01 . The idea idea.n.01 had come come.v.05 from Herold NE , who had once once.s.00 been be.v.08 a chemist pharmacist.n.01 's clerk clerk.n.01 . The sick ill.a.01 were always always.r.01 receiving receive.v.01 medicines medicine.n.02 . No one would question question.v.01 such such.s.01 an errand errand.n.01 . The bottle bottle.n.01 was be.v.01 filled up fill.v.01 with flour flour.n.01 . Now now.n.01 it would have experience.v.03 another death death.n.01 . From the outside outside.n.01 it was be.v.01 an ordinary ordinary.a.01 enough adequate.s.02 house house.n.01 of the gentry gentry.n.01 . He clomped clump.v.03 heavily heavily.r.02 up the stoop stoop.n.01 and rang ring.v.03 the bell doorbell.n.01 . Like the bell bell.n.01 at Mass mass.n.04 , the doorbell doorbell.n.01 was pitched pitched.a.01 too excessively.r.01 high high.a.04 . It was be.v.01 still still.r.01 Good Friday good_friday.n.01 , after all after_all.r.01 . A nigger nigger.n.01 boy male_child.n.01 opened open.v.01 the door door.n.01 . Payne NE did make.v.01 not not.r.01 notice detect.v.01 him . He was thinking think.v.03 chiefly chiefly.r.01 of Cap NE . If their schedules agenda.n.01 were to synchronize synchronize.v.01 , there was exist.v.01 no point point.n.03 in wasting time wasting_time.n.00 . For a moment moment.n.01 the hall anteroom.n.01 confused confuse.v.02 him . This was be.v.01 the largest largest.s.00 house house.n.01 he had ever ever.r.01 been be.v.03 in in.r.01 , almost about.r.07 the largest largest.s.00 building building.n.01 , except for a hotel hotel.n.01 . He had experience.v.03 no idea idea.n.01 where Seward NE 's room room.n.01 would be be.v.03 . In the half one-half.n.01 darkness dark.n.01 the banisters bannister.n.02 gleamed glitter.v.01 , and the hall anteroom.n.01 seemed look.v.02 enormous enormous.s.01 . Above him somewhere somewhere.r.01 were be.v.03 the bedrooms bedroom.n.01 . Seward NE would be be.v.03 up there there.r.01 . He explained explain.v.01 his errand errand.n.01 , but without bothering trouble_oneself.v.01 much much.r.01 to make make.v.02 it plausible plausible.a.01 , for he felt feel.v.01 something well up well_up.v.01 in him which was be.v.02 the reason reason.n.01 why he had fled flee.v.01 the army army.n.01 . He did not not.r.01 really truly.r.01 want desire.v.01 to kill killing.n.02 , but as in the sexual act sexual_intercourse.n.01 , there was be.v.05 a moment moment.n.01 when the impulse urge.n.01 took over assume.v.06 and could not not.r.01 be downed downed.a.00 , even even.r.01 while you watched watch.v.03 yourself giving way move_over.v.01 to it . He was be.v.01 no longer no_longer.r.01 worried disquieted.s.01 . He knew know.v.03 that in this mood climate.n.02 he could not not.r.01 be be.v.01 stopped break.v.10 . Still however.r.01 , the sensation sensation.n.01 always always.r.01 surprised surprise.v.01 him . It was be.v.01 a thrill bang.n.04 he felt feel.v.01 no part part.n.01 in . He could only merely.r.01 watch watch.v.01 with a sort kind.n.01 of gentle gentle.s.01 dismay discouragement.n.01 while his body body.n.01 did do.v.03 these quick quick.s.01 , appalling appalling.s.01 , and efficient efficient.a.01 things thing.n.02 . He brushed brush.v.02 by the idiotic crackbrained.s.01 boy male_child.n.01 and lumbered lumber.v.01 heavily heavily.r.02 up the stairs upstairs.r.01 . They were be.v.01 carpeted carpeted.a.01 , but made made.s.01 for pumps pumps.n.00 and congress gaiters congress_boot.n.01 , not not.r.01 the great great.s.01 clodhoppers brogan.n.01 he wore wear.v.01 . The sound sound.n.01 of his footsteps footstep.n.02 was be.v.01 like a muffled dull.s.03 drum drum.n.01 . At the top top.n.02 of the stairs stairs.n.01 he ran into run_into.v.02 somebody standing stand.v.01 there there.r.01 angrily angrily.r.01 in a dressing gown dressing_gown.n.01 . He stopped stop.v.01 and whispered whisper.v.01 his errand errand.n.01 . Panting pant.v.01 a little a_bit.r.01 , Payne NE shook judder.v.01 his head head.n.01 . Dr. Verdi NE had told order.v.01 him to deliver deliver.v.02 his package package.n.02 in person personally.r.04 . Frederick Seward NE said state.v.01 his father father.n.01 was sleeping sleep.v.01 , and then then.r.01 went go.v.02 through a pantomime mime.n.02 at his father father.n.01 's door doorway.n.01 , to prove prove.v.02 the statement statement.n.01 . `` Very well first-rate.r.01 '' , Payne NE said state.v.01 . `` I will go go.v.03 '' . He smiled smile.v.01 , but now now.r.01 that he knew know.v.01 where the elder elder.s.01 Seward NE was be.v.03 , he did not not.r.01 intend mean.v.01 to go go.v.03 . He pulled out extract.v.01 his pistol pistol.n.01 and fired open_fire.v.01 it . It made make.v.03 no sound sound.n.03 . It had misfired misfire.v.01 . It was the first first.a.01 blow blow.n.02 that was be.v.01 always always.r.01 difficult difficult.a.01 . After subsequently.r.01 that , violence violence.n.01 was be.v.01 exultantly exultantly.r.01 easy easy.a.01 . He got become.v.01 caught up caught_up.s.01 into it and became become.v.02 a different different.s.02 person person.n.01 . Only merely.r.01 afterwards subsequently.r.01 did an act act.n.02 like that become become.v.01 meaningless meaningless.a.01 , so that he would puzzle over puzzle_over.v.01 it for days day.n.01 , whereas at the time time.n.03 it had seemed look.v.02 quite quite.r.01 real real.a.01 . The nigger nigger.n.01 boy male_child.n.01 fled flee.v.01 down the stairs downstairs.r.01 , screaming yell.v.02 , `` Murder murder.n.01 '' . It was be.v.01 not not.r.01 murder murder.n.01 at all at_all.r.01 . Payne NE was be.v.01 more more.r.01 methodical methodical.s.01 than that . He was merely merely.r.01 clearing unclutter.v.01 a way room.n.02 to what he had to do . He ran run.v.01 for the sick room sickroom.n.01 , found discover.v.04 his pistol pistol.n.01 was be.v.01 broken broken.a.01 , and threw it away discard.v.01 . From childhood childhood.n.01 he had known know.v.02 all about knives knife.n.01 . Someone person.n.01 blocked barricade.v.01 the door door.n.01 from inside inside.n.02 . He smashed smash.v.01 it in in.r.01 and tumbled tumble.v.01 into darkness dark.n.01 . He saw see.v.01 only merely.r.01 dimly dimly.r.01 moving moving.a.01 figures human_body.n.01 , but when he slashed slash.v.03 them they yelled shout.v.02 and fled flee.v.01 . He went for hope.v.03 the bed bed.n.01 , jumped on hop_on.v.01 it , and struck strike.v.01 where he could , repeatedly repeatedly.r.01 . It was be.v.01 like finally finally.r.01 getting into enter.v.01 one 's own own.s.01 nightmares nightmare.n.02 to punish punish.v.01 one 's dreams dream.n.01 . Two two.s.01 men man.n.01 pulled pull.v.01 him off . Nobody said state.v.01 anything . Payne NE hacked chop.v.05 at their arms arm.n.01 .

When the knife knife.n.01 went into enter.v.01 his chest thorax.n.02 , he went down descend.v.01 at once immediately.r.01 . `` I'm mad brainsick.s.01 '' , shouted shout.v.01 Payne NE , as he ran out run_off.v.02 into the hall hallway.n.01 . `` I'm mad brainsick.s.01 '' , and only only.r.03 wished wish.v.01 he had been be.v.01 . That would have made make.v.02 things thing.n.03 so so.r.01 much much.r.01 easier easy.a.01 . But he was be.v.01 not not.r.01 mad brainsick.s.01 . He was only merely.r.01 dreaming dream.v.02 . He clattered clatter.v.01 down the stairs downstairs.r.01 and out of the door doorway.n.01 . One always always.r.01 wakes up wake_up.v.02 , even even.r.01 from one 's own own.s.01 dreams dream.n.01 .

He unhitched unhitch.v.01 his horse horse.n.01 , walked walk.v.01 it away away.r.01 , mounted hop_on.v.01 , and spurred spur.v.04 it on along.r.01 . The nigger nigger.n.01 boy male_child.n.01 was be.v.03 close near.a.01 behind him . Then then.r.01 the nigger nigger.n.01 boy male_child.n.01 turned back backtrack.v.01 and he was be.v.01 alone alone.s.01 . He rode ride.v.02 on along.r.01 and on along.r.01 .

The musicians musician.n.01 of the Royal Opera NE would not not.r.01 rehearse rehearse.v.01 a work work.n.02 merely merely.r.01 to see determine.v.08 how it would sound sound.v.01 . Merely merely.r.01 to satisfy meet.v.04 the author generator.n.03 's curiosity curiosity.n.01 . Rousseau rousseau.n.01 agreed agree.v.01 . But he recalled remember.v.01 that Rameau NE had once once.r.01 had hold.v.03 a private private.a.01 performance performance.n.01 of his opera opera.n.01 Armide NE , behind closed closed.a.01 doors door.n.01 , just merely.r.01 for himself alone entirely.r.02 . Duclos NE understood understand.v.01 what was bothering annoy.v.01 Rousseau rousseau.n.01 : that the writer writer.n.01 of the Prosopopoeia of Fabricius NE should now now.r.01 become become.v.01 known known.a.01 as the writer writer.n.01 of an amusing amusing.s.02 little small.a.01 operetta operetta.n.01 . That would certainly surely.r.01 be be.v.01 paradoxical paradoxical.s.01 . But Duclos NE thought think.v.1;2 he saw visualize.v.01 a way out exit.n.01 . `` Let let.v.01 me do perform.v.01 the submitting submit.v.01 to the Royal Academy NE '' , he suggested propose.v.01 . `` Your name name.n.01 will never never.r.01 appear appear.v.02 . To that Rousseau rousseau.n.01 could agree agree.v.01 . But now now.r.01 what crazy brainsick.s.01 twists turn.n.04 and turns turn.n.04 of his emotions emotion.n.01 !

And how how.r.00 anxious anxious.s.01 this lover lover.n.01 of obscurity obscurity.n.02 was be.v.01 for applause applause.n.01 ! And thus therefore.r.01 torn torn.s.02 between his desire desire.n.01 to be be.v.01 known known.a.01 as the composer composer.n.01 of a successful successful.a.01 opera opera.n.01 and the necessity necessity.n.01 of remaining stay.v.01 true true.s.03 to his proclaimed announced.s.01 desire desire.n.02 for anonymity anonymity.n.01 , Rousseau rousseau.n.01 suffered suffer.v.03 through several several.s.01 painful painful.a.01 weeks week.n.01 . All these emotions emotion.n.01 were screwed up heat_up.v.03 to new new.a.01 heights height.n.01 when , after acceptance adoption.n.01 and the first first.a.01 rehearsals rehearsal.n.01 , there ensued result.v.01 such such.s.01 a buzz buzz.n.02 of excitement exhilaration.n.01 among Parisian parisian.a.01 music lovers concert-goer.n.01 that Duclos NE had to come come.v.01 running run.v.01 to Rousseau rousseau.n.01 to inform inform.v.01 him that the news news.n.02 had reached reach.v.04 the superintendent overseer.n.01 of the King king.n.01 's amusements entertainment.n.01 , and that he was now now.r.01 demanding demand.v.01 that the work work.n.02 be offered offer.v.08 first first.r.02 at the royal royal.a.01 summer summer.n.01 palace palace.n.01 of Fontainebleau NE .

Now now.r.01 , when everything was opening up open.v.01 to him - even even.r.01 the court court.n.01 of Louis / 15 NE 15 , ! - he had to play play.v.02 a role function.n.03 of self-effacement effacement.n.02 . Back and forth back_and_forth.r.01 Duclos NE had to go go.v.02 , between M. de Cury NE and Jean Jacques NE and between the Duke d'Aumont NE and Jean Jacques NE again again.r.01 , as his little small.a.01 operetta operetta.n.01 , The Village Soothsayer NE , though still still.r.01 unperformed unperformed.s.01 , took on assume.v.02 ever ever.r.01 more more.a.01 importance importance.n.02 .

How titillating titillating.s.01 it was be.v.01 to go travel.v.01 among people people.n.01 who did not not.r.01 know know.v.01 him as the composer composer.n.01 , but who talked talk.v.01 in the most most.r.01 glowing glowing.s.01 terms term.n.01 of the promise promise.n.02 of the piece musical_composition.n.01 after having heard hear.v.01 the first first.a.01 rehearsals rehearsal.n.01 .

He felt find.v.05 himself now now.r.01 , as he himself says allege.v.01 in his Confessions NE , at a crucial crucial.a.01 point point.n.06 of his life life.n.03 . And that was be.v.02 why , on the day day.n.03 of the performance performance.n.01 , when a carriage passenger_car.n.01 from the royal royal.a.01 stables stable.n.01 called visit.v.03 to take take.v.09 him to the palace palace.n.01 , he did not not.r.01 bother trouble_oneself.v.01 to shave shave.v.01 . On the contrary contrarily.r.02 , he was be.v.01 pleased pleased.a.01 that his face face.n.01 showed show.v.01 a neglect disregard.n.02 of several several.s.01 days day.n.01 . Seeing see.v.01 him in that condition condition.n.01 , and about to enter enter.v.01 the hall manor_hall.n.01 where the King NE , the Queen queen.n.03 , the whole whole.a.01 royal family royalty.n.02 and all the members member.n.01 of the highest eminent.s.01 aristocracy nobility.n.01 would be be.v.01 present present.a.02 , Grimm NE and the Abbe Raynal NE and others and_others.r.00 tried try.v.01 to stop stop.v.03 him . `` You can n't n't.r.00 go in enter.v.01 that way manner.n.01 '' ! they cried shout.v.02 .

Rousseau NE asked ask.v.01 . `` Is it because of my slovenliness sloppiness.n.02 that hair hair.n.01 grows grow.v.03 on my face face.n.01 ?

But of course naturally.r.01 behind his boldness boldness.n.01 he did n't n't.r.00 feel feel.v.01 bold bold.a.01 at all at_all.r.01 . He trembled tremble.v.01 lest lest.r.00 his piece musical_composition.n.01 should fail fail.v.02 . And this in addition in_addition.r.00 to his usual usual.a.01 fear fear.n.01 of being be.v.05 among people people.n.01 of high society society.n.04 . His fear fear.n.01 of making make.v.01 some inane asinine.s.01 or inappropriate inappropriate.a.01 remark remark.n.01 . And even even.r.01 deeper deep.s.02 than that : Could he walk walk.v.01 out away.r.02 in the midst midmost.r.01 of his piece musical_composition.n.01 ? Here here.r.01 , before the court court.n.01 ? Before the King king.n.01 ? It was be.v.01 the first first.a.01 time time.n.01 any of us had laughed laugh.v.01 since the morning morning.n.01 began get_down.v.07 . The rider rider.n.01 from Concord concord.n.01 was be.v.01 as good as as_good_as.s.00 his word parole.n.01 . He came come.v.01 spurring spur.v.03 and whooping whoop.v.01 down the road road.n.01 , his horse horse.n.01 kicking up kick_up.v.01 clouds cloud.n.01 of dust dust.n.01 , shouting shout.v.01 : `` They 're a-coming !

We heard hear.v.01 him before he ever ever.r.01 showed show.v.08 , and we heard hear.v.01 him yelling yell.v.02 after he was be.v.01 out of sight concealed.s.01 . I think think.v.02 you could have heard hear.v.01 him a mile mile.n.01 away away.s.03 , and he was bursting burst.v.01 at every seam seam.n.01 with importance importance.n.02 . I have observed detect.v.01 that being be.v.03 up up.r.01 on a horse horse.n.01 changes change.v.01 the whole whole.a.01 character character.n.03 of a man man.n.01 , and when a very very.r.01 small small.a.01 man man.n.01 is be.v.03 up up.r.01 on a saddle saddle.n.01 , he 'd like wish.v.02 as not not.r.01 prefer choose.v.02 to eat eat.v.02 his meals meal.n.01 there there.r.01 . That 's understandable apprehensible.s.01 , and I appreciate appreciate.v.01 the sentiment sentiment.n.01 . As for this rider rider.n.01 , I never never.r.01 saw see.v.01 him before earlier.r.01 or afterwards subsequently.r.01 and never never.r.01 saw see.v.01 him dismounted dismounted.s.00 , so whether he stood stand.v.09 tall tall.a.01 or short short.a.03 in his shoes shoe.n.01 , I can n't n't.r.00 say allege.v.01 ; but I do know know.v.03 that he gave give.v.01 the day day.n.03 tone spirit.n.02 and distinction eminence.n.01 . The last last.s.04 thing thing.n.04 in the world that resembled resemble.v.01 a war war.n.01 was be.v.02 our line line.n.03 of farmers farmer.n.01 and storekeepers shopkeeper.n.01 and mechanics machinist.n.01 perched perch.v.01 on top top.n.02 of a stone wall stone_wall.n.01 , and this dashing dashing.s.01 rider rider.n.01 made make.v.02 us feel feel.v.05 a good deal batch.n.02 sharper acute.s.03 and more more.r.01 alert alert.s.03 to the situation situation.n.01 . We came down descend.v.01 off the wall wall.n.01 as if he had toppled tumble.v.01 all of all_of.a.00 us , and we crouched crouch.v.01 behind it . I have heard hear.v.01 people people.n.01 talk talk.v.01 with contempt contempt.n.02 about the British british.a.01 regulars regular.n.01 , but that only merely.r.01 proves prove.v.02 that a lot of people people.n.01 talk about discourse.v.01 things matter.n.01 of which they are be.v.01 deplorably deplorably.r.01 ignorant ignorant.s.01 . Whatever we felt feel.v.01 about the redcoats redcoat.n.01 , we respected respect.v.01 them in terms of in_terms_of.s.00 their trade trade.n.02 , which was be.v.02 killing killing.n.02 ; and I know know.v.03 that I , myself , was be.v.01 nauseated nauseated.s.01 with apprehension apprehension.n.01 and fear fear.n.01 and that my hands hand.n.01 were be.v.01 soaking soaking.s.00 wet wet.a.01 where they held hold.v.02 my gun gun.n.01 . I wanted to wipe wipe.v.01 my flint flint.n.01 , but I did n't n't.r.00 dare make_bold.v.01 to , the state state.n.02 my hands hand.n.01 were be.v.01 in , just precisely.r.01 as I did n't n't.r.00 dare make_bold.v.01 to do anything about the priming priming.n.01 . I put put.v.02 a lot a_lot.r.01 more more.a.01 trust reliance.n.01 in my two two.s.01 legs leg.n.01 than in the gun gun.n.01 , because the most most.r.01 important important.a.01 thing thing.n.07 I had learned learn.v.01 about war war.n.01 was be.v.02 that you could run away scat.v.01 and survive survive.v.01 to talk about discourse.v.01 it . The gunfire gunfire.n.01 , which was be.v.01 so so.r.01 near near.a.01 that it seemed look.v.02 just merely.r.01 a piece piece.n.09 up the road road.n.01 now now.r.01 , stopped stop.v.01 for long long.r.01 enough adequate.s.02 to count count.v.04 to twenty twenty.n.01 ; and in that brief brief.s.01 interval time_interval.n.01 , a redcoat redcoat.n.01 officer policeman.n.01 came come.v.01 tearing tear.v.03 down the road road.n.01 , whipping flog.v.01 his horse horse.n.01 fit fit.s.02 to kill killing.n.02 . I do n't n't.r.00 know know.v.01 whether he was after plan.v.01 our rider rider.n.01 , who had gone by travel_by.v.01 a minute minute.n.01 before earlier.r.01 , or whether he was simply merely.r.01 scouting scout.v.01 conditions condition.n.01 ; but when he passed travel_by.v.01 us by , a musket musket.n.01 roared howl.v.01 , and he reared rear.v.01 his horse horse.n.01 , swung swing.v.01 it around about.r.05 , and began get_down.v.07 to whip flog.v.01 it back back.r.01 in the direction direction.n.01 from which he had come come.v.01 . He was be.v.01 a fine fine.s.06 and showy showy.s.0;1 rider rider.n.01 , but his skill skill.n.02 was wasted otiose.s.01 on us . From above above.s.01 me and somewhere somewhere.r.01 behind me , a rifle rifle.n.01 cracked snap.v.06 . The redcoat redcoat.n.01 officer military_officer.n.01 collapsed collapse.v.01 like a punctured pierced.s.01 bolster bolster.n.01 , and the horse horse.n.01 reared rear.v.01 and threw throw.v.01 him from the saddle saddle.n.01 , except that one one.s.01 booted booted.s.01 foot foot.n.01 caught hitch.v.01 in the stirrup stirrup.n.01 . Half half.r.01 crazed crazed.s.01 by the weight weight.n.01 dragging drag.v.01 , the dust dust.n.01 , and the heat hotness.n.01 , the horse horse.n.01 leaped jump.v.01 our wall wall.n.01 , dashing smash.v.02 out the rider rider.n.01 's brains brain.n.01 against it , and leaving leave.v.02 him lying lie.v.01 there there.r.01 among us - while the horse horse.n.01 crashed crash.v.04 away away.r.01 through the brush brush.n.01 . It was be.v.03 my initiation initiation.n.01 to war war.n.01 and the insane insane.a.01 symphony symphony.n.01 war war.n.01 plays play.v.06 ; for what had happened happen.v.01 on the common park.n.02 was be.v.03 only merely.r.01 terror panic.n.01 and flight escape.n.01 ; but this grinning smile.n.01 , broken broken.a.01 head head.n.01 , not not.r.01 ten ten.s.01 feet foot.n.02 away away.r.01 from me , was be.v.03 the sharp crisp.s.01 definition definition.n.01 of what my reality world.n.03 had become become.v.02 . And now now.r.01 the redcoats redcoat.n.01 were coming come.v.01 , and the gunfire gunfire.n.01 was be.v.01 a part part.n.01 of the dust cloud dust_cloud.n.01 on the road road.n.01 to the west west.n.02 of us . In my recollection remembrance.n.01 , there was be.v.05 a long long.a.01 interval time_interval.n.01 between the death death.n.01 of the officer military_officer.n.01 and the appearance appearance.n.02 of the first first.a.01 of the retreating retreating.a.00 redcoats redcoat.n.01 , and in that interval time_interval.n.01 the dust cloud dust_cloud.n.01 over the road road.n.01 seems look.v.02 to hover levitate.v.02 indefinitely indefinitely.r.01 . Yet it could not not.r.01 have been be.v.01 more more.a.02 than a matter topic.n.02 of seconds second.n.01 , and then then.r.01 the front battlefront.n.01 of the British british.a.01 army army.n.01 came come.v.21 into view view.n.04 . It was only merely.r.01 hours hour.n.02 since I had last last.r.01 seen meet.v.01 them , but they had changed change.v.02 and I had changed change.v.02 . In the very very.r.01 front front.a.01 rank rank.n.01 , two two.s.01 men man.n.01 were be.v.01 wounded hurt.s.01 and staggered stagger.v.02 along along.r.01 , trailing drag.v.05 blood blood.n.01 behind them . No drummers drummer.n.01 here here.r.01 , no pipers piper.n.01 , and the red coats redcoat.n.01 were be.v.01 covered covered.a.01 with a fine fine.s.03 film film.n.04 of dust dust.n.01 . They marched march.v.01 with bayonets bayonet.n.01 fixed fixed.a.03 , and as fixed fixed.s.02 on their faces face.n.01 was be.v.01 anger anger.n.01 , fear fear.n.01 , and torment anguish.n.01 . Rank rank.n.01 after rank rank.n.01 of them came down descend.v.01 the road road.n.01 , and the faces face.n.01 were be.v.01 all all.s.02 the same same.a.02 , and they walked walk.v.01 in a sea sea.n.01 of dust dust.n.01 . `` Committeemen committeeman.n.01 , hold retain.v.03 your fire fire.n.02 !

The front front.n.01 of their column column.n.01 had already already.r.01 passed pass.v.07 us , when another officer military_officer.n.01 came come.v.01 riding ride.v.01 down down.a.01 the side side.n.01 of the road road.n.01 , not not.r.01 five five.s.01 paces footstep.n.03 from where we were be.v.05 . My Cousin Simmons NE carried carry.v.02 a musket musket.n.01 , but he had loaded load.v.01 it with bird shot bird_shot.n.01 , and as the officer military_officer.n.01 came arrive.v.01 opposite opposite.s.01 him , he rose up surface.v.01 behind the wall wall.n.01 and fired open_fire.v.01 . One matchless.s.01 moment moment.n.01 there was be.v.05 a man man.n.01 in the saddle saddle.n.01 ; the next following.s.02 a headless headless.a.01 horror repugnance.n.01 on a horse horse.n.01 that bolted bolt.v.01 through the redcoat redcoat.n.01 ranks rank.n.01 , and during the next following.s.02 second second.n.01 or two two.s.01 , we all of all_of.a.00 us fired open_fire.v.01 into the suddenly abruptly.r.01 disorganized disorganized.a.01 column column.n.01 of soldiers soldier.n.01 .

Now now.n.01 there was exist.v.01 no work employment.n.02 in the fields field.n.01 , nor would there be exist.v.01 till it rained rain.v.01 , and she did not not.r.01 know know.v.01 where he went travel.v.01 .

There was exist.v.01 no reason reason.n.01 for her to ask ask.v.01 what they did make.v.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 a new new.a.01 pattern practice.n.01 of days day.n.04 began get_down.v.07 to develop develop.v.09 , for Granny Albright NE did not not.r.01 die die.v.01 .

Those who had driven drive.v.01 hundreds hundred.n.01 of miles mile.n.01 for the burial burial.n.01 would not not.r.01 go home go_home.v.01 , for she might die die.v.01 any time time.n.01 ; but they might as well besides.r.02 unpack unpack.v.01 their suitcases bag.n.06 , for she might linger linger.v.01 on .

If Felix NE was still still.r.01 wearing wear.v.01 the hat hat.n.01 and carrying carry.v.02 the horn horn.n.01 because he 'd forgotten forget.v.02 about them , he now now.r.01 remembered remember.v.02 . He came come.v.01 bounding jump.v.01 up the stairs upstairs.r.01 and joined join.v.01 the dance dance.n.02 . He adjusted align.v.01 the hat hat.n.01 , lifted lift.v.02 the horn horn.n.01 to his lips lip.n.01 as though it were be.v.02 a flute flute.n.01 , and fell in collapse.v.01 alongside our fingerprint expert fingerprint_expert.n.01 to cavort frolic.v.01 with him . Our man man.n.01 stopped dead freeze.v.01 and glowered glower.v.01 at Felix NE . Felix NE threw throw.v.01 his head head.n.01 back back.r.02 and laughed laugh.v.01 a laugh laugh.n.01 that shook judder.v.01 the timbers timber.n.02 of even even.r.01 that solidly solidly.r.02 built built.s.01 old old.a.02 house house.n.01 .

He found find.v.03 the pan pan.n.01 where he had dropped drop.v.01 it and carried transport.v.02 it back back.r.01 down down.r.01 to the stream stream.n.01 .

Not not.r.01 tonight tonight.r.01 , at any rate anyhow.r.01 . He had experience.v.03 a feeling impression.n.01 that the girl girl.n.01 meant entail.v.01 trouble trouble.n.06 . He scrubbed scrub.v.01 absent-mindedly absently.r.01 at the pans pan.n.01 and reflected chew_over.v.01 on how things thing.n.01 had turned out prove.v.01 . That afternoon afternoon.n.01 when they had pulled up draw_up.v.05 in front of the broken-down bedraggled.s.02 ranch house ranch_house.n.01 , his hopes hope.n.01 had been be.v.01 high high.a.01 .

The land land.n.01 was be.v.01 n't n't.r.00 all Wilson NE had expected expect.v.01 of it . Six six.s.01 hundred hundred.s.01 and forty forty.s.01 acres estate.n.02 , the old man old_man.n.01 back back.r.01 in St. Louis saint_louis.n.02 had said allege.v.01 ; good good.a.01 grass grass.n.01 , good good.a.01 water water.n.01 .

And there was a house house.n.01 ; livable livable.a.01 perhaps possibly.r.01 , but badly badly.r.01 in need of repairs repair.n.01 . In the last analysis in_the_last_analysis.r.00 , though though.r.01 , Wilson NE had have.v.01 little little.a.02 cause cause.n.02 to complain complain.v.01 .

There was exist.v.01 only merely.r.01 one matchless.s.01 place place.n.12 where Jake Carwood NE 's description description.n.01 had gone become.v.01 badly badly.r.01 awry awry.r.01 : the peace peace.n.04 and quiet tranquillity.n.01 . It had n't n't.r.00 started out get_down.v.07 that way way.n.04 . And he had experience.v.03 a feeling impression.n.01 - thanks thanks.n.02 to the girl girl.n.01 - that things thing.n.01 would get become.v.01 worse worse.a.01 before they got become.v.01 better better.a.01 . They had the house house.n.01 cleaned up tidy.v.01 by noon noon.n.01 , and Wilson NE sent send.v.01 the boy male_child.n.01 out away.r.02 to the meadow hayfield.n.01 to bring bring.v.01 in the horses horse.n.01 .

It was be.v.01 the only alone.s.03 thing thing.n.09 about her that was be.v.01 the least bit at_all.r.01 hard difficult.a.01 to remember remember.v.01 . He finished complete.v.01 with the team team.n.02 and filled fill.v.01 his pipe pipe.n.01 and stood stand.v.01 looking look.v.01 about about.r.02 him . He had spent spend.v.01 two two.s.01 hours hour.n.01 riding ride.v.01 around the ranch ranch.n.01 that morning morning.n.01 , and in broad broad.s.05 daylight daylight.n.02 it was be.v.01 even even.r.01 less less.r.01 inviting inviting.a.01 than Judith Pierce NE had made make.v.02 it seem look.v.02 . There was be.v.05 brush brush.n.01 , and stands stand.n.03 of pine pine.n.01 that no grass grass.n.01 could grow grow.v.03 under , and places topographic_point.n.01 so so.r.01 steep steep.a.01 that cattle cattle.n.01 would n't n't.r.00 stop stop.v.01 to graze crop.v.05 . There was be.v.05 an artificial lake reservoir.n.02 just barely.r.01 out of sight concealed.s.01 in the first first.a.01 stand stand.n.03 of trees tree.n.01 , fed feed.v.03 by a half one-half.n.01 dozen twelve.n.01 springs spring.n.03 that popped out pop_out.v.01 of the ground land.n.04 above the hillside hillside.n.01 orchard grove.n.02 . Yes , there was be.v.05 plenty enough.r.01 of water water.n.01 , too much overmuch.r.01 , and that was constitute.v.01 probably probably.r.01 the trouble trouble.n.06 . There were be.v.05 tracks path.n.04 of cattle cattle.n.01 all over all_over.r.01 his six six.s.01 hundred hundred.s.01 and forty forty.s.01 acres estate.n.02 .

It was be.v.01 hotter hot.a.01 once once.r.02 they reached reach.v.01 the flat flat.n.01 , and drier dry.a.01 , but the grass grass.n.01 was be.v.01 better better.a.01 .

It took take.v.02 them an hour hour.n.01 before they came arrive.v.01 to the first first.a.01 houses house.n.01 of Kelseyville NE .

He proposed project.v.08 a fresh fresh.s.04 theory hypothesis.n.02 of alkalis base.n.10 which later subsequently.r.01 was accepted accept.v.01 in chemical chemical.n.01 practices practice.n.01 . The new new.a.01 century century.n.01 opened open.v.04 with Oersted NE beginning begin.v.03 his professional professional.a.02 career career.n.02 in charge in_charge.s.00 of an apothecary pharmacist.n.01 shop shop.n.01 in Copenhagen copenhagen.n.01 and as lecturer lector.n.02 at the university university.n.02 . He was stirred touch.v.03 by the announcement announcement.n.01 of Volta NE 's discovery discovery.n.01 of chemical chemical.n.01 electricity electricity.n.01 and he immediately immediately.r.01 applied use.v.01 the voltaic pile voltaic_pile.n.01 to experiments experiment.n.01 with acids acid.n.01 and alkalis base.n.10 . The following following.s.02 year year.n.01 he devoted give.v.18 to the customary customary.s.01 `` Wanderjahr NE '' , traveling travel.v.02 in Germany germany.n.01 , France france.n.01 , and the Netherlands netherlands.n.01 , meeting meet.v.08 the philosophers philosopher.n.01 Schelling NE , Fichte NE , and Tieck NE .

This we might well well.r.03 witness witness.v.02 '' . Ritter NE died die.v.01 in 1810 and Oersted NE not only not_only.r.00 lived survive.v.01 to see witness.v.02 the event event.n.01 occur happen.v.01 but was be.v.02 the author generator.n.03 of it . In 1803 Oersted NE returned return.v.01 to Copenhagen copenhagen.n.01 and applied apply.v.03 for the university university.n.02 's chair professorship.n.01 in physics physics.n.01 but was rejected refuse.v.02 because he was probably probably.r.01 considered see.v.05 more more.r.01 a philosopher philosopher.n.01 than a physicist physicist.n.01 . However however.r.01 , he continued continue.v.01 experimenting experiment.v.01 and lecturing lecture.v.01 , publishing publication.n.04 the results solution.n.02 of his experiments experiment.n.01 in German german.a.01 and Danish danish.a.01 periodicals periodical.n.01 . In 1806 his ambition ambition.n.01 was realized realize.v.03 and he became become.v.02 professor professor.n.01 of physics physics.n.01 at the Copenhagen University NE , though not not.r.01 realizing realize.v.03 full entire.s.01 professorship professorship.n.01 ( ordinarius ) until 1817 . He was be.v.01 , however however.r.01 , fortunate fortunate.a.01 in his contact contact.n.01 with Prof. J. G. L. Manthey NE ( 1769 - 1842 ) , teacher teacher.n.01 of chemistry chemistry.n.01 , who , in addition in_addition.r.00 to his academic academic.a.01 chair professorship.n.01 , was be.v.02 also besides.r.02 proprietor owner.n.01 of the `` Lion Pharmacy NE '' in Copenhagen copenhagen.n.01 where Oersted NE assisted assist.v.02 him .

Then then.r.01 the wife wife.n.01 bed hopped bed_hop.v.00 to the next following.s.02 on the list list.n.01 . In some some.a.01 cases case.n.01 , however however.r.02 , domination domination.n.02 of the sex act sexual_intercourse.n.01 by one matchless.s.01 partner spouse.n.01 can be be.v.01 temporary impermanent.a.01 , triggered trip.v.04 by a passing ephemeral.s.01 but urgent pressing.s.01 emotional emotional.a.01 need need.n.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 a man man.n.01 who is butting a stone wall at the office office.n.01 may become become.v.01 unusually unusually.r.01 aggressive aggressive.a.01 in bed bed.n.01 - the one matchless.s.01 place topographic_point.n.01 he can still still.r.01 be be.v.02 champion champion.n.01 .

In any case anyhow.r.01 , Dr. Calderone NE remarks note.v.01 , such such.s.01 problems problem.n.01 are be.v.02 a couple couple.n.02 's own own.s.01 affair matter.n.01 , and can n't n't.r.00 always always.r.01 be measured quantify.v.02 by a general general.a.01 yardstick yardstick.n.01 . `` As long as the couple couple.n.02 is be.v.01 in agreement in_agreement.r.00 in their approach approach.n.01 to sex sexual_activity.n.01 , it makes make.v.01 little little.a.02 difference deviation.n.01 if one or the other dominates dominate.v.02 '' , Dr. Calderone NE declares declare.v.01 . `` The important important.a.01 point point.n.03 is be.v.02 that both be be.v.01 satisfied satisfied.s.01 with the adjustment adjustment.n.01 '' .

The tsunami tsunami.n.01 warning warning.n.01 system system.n.01 developed develop.v.01 since the 1946 disaster calamity.n.01 in Hawaii hawaii.n.02 relies depend_on.v.03 mainly chiefly.r.01 on a simple simple.a.01 and ingenious clever.s.03 instrument instrument.n.01 devised invent.v.01 by Commander C. K. Green NE of the Coast and Geodetic Survey NE staff staff.n.01 . It consists of consist_of.v.00 a series series.n.01 of pipes pipe.n.02 and a pressure pressure.n.01 measuring measurement.n.01 chamber chamber.n.01 which record read.v.08 the rise rise.n.02 and fall fall.n.07 of the water body_of_water.n.01 surface surface.n.02 . Ordinary ordinary.a.01 water body_of_water.n.01 tides tide.n.01 are disregarded dismiss.v.01 . This in turn successively.r.01 sets off trip.v.04 an alarm alarm.n.02 , notifying advise.v.02 the observers perceiver.n.01 at the station station.n.01 that a tsunami tsunami.n.01 is be.v.01 in progress progress.n.02 . Such such.s.01 equipment equipment.n.01 has been installed install.v.01 at Hilo NE , Midway NE , Attu NE and Dutch Harbor NE . The moment moment.n.01 the alarm alarm.n.02 goes off fire.v.05 , information information.n.01 is immediately immediately.r.01 forwarded forward.v.01 to Honolulu honolulu.n.01 , which is be.v.02 the center center.n.03 of the warning warning.n.01 system system.n.01 . This center center.n.03 also besides.r.02 receives pick_up.v.09 prompt prompt.s.01 reports report.n.02 on earthquakes earthquake.n.01 from four four.s.01 Coast Survey NE stations station.n.01 in the Pacific pacific.n.01 which are equipped equip.v.01 with seismographs seismograph.n.01 .

Since the 1946 disaster calamity.n.01 there have been be.v.05 15 fifteen.s.01 tsunami tsunami.n.01 in the Pacific pacific.n.01 , but only alone.s.03 one one.n.01 was be.v.01 of any consequence consequence.n.03 . At 17 : 07 that afternoon afternoon.n.01 ( Greenwich time greenwich_mean_time.n.01 ) the shock shock.n.05 was recorded read.v.08 by the seismograph seismograph.n.01 alarm alarm.n.02 in Honolulu honolulu.n.01 . The warning warning.n.01 system system.n.01 immediately immediately.r.01 went become.v.01 into action action.n.02 . Within about an hour hour.n.01 with the help aid.n.02 of reports report.n.02 from seismic seismic.s.01 stations station.n.01 in Alaska alaska.n.01 , Arizona arizona.n.01 and California california.n.01 , the quake earthquake.n.01 's epicenter epicenter.n.01 was placed place.v.11 at 51 degrees degree.n.04 North north.n.03 latitude latitude.n.01 and 158 degrees degree.n.04 East east.n.01 longitude longitude.n.01 . While accounts report.n.03 of the progress progress.n.03 of the tsunami tsunami.n.01 came in come.v.16 from various assorted.s.02 points point.n.02 in the Pacific pacific.n.01 ( Midway NE reported report.v.02 it was covered cover.v.02 with nine nine.s.01 feet foot.n.02 of water water.n.01 ) , the Hawaiian hawaiian.n.01 station station.n.01 made its calculations calculation.n.01 and notified advise.v.02 the military services military_service.n.01 and the police police.n.01 that the first first.a.01 big large.a.01 wave wave.n.01 would arrive at reach.v.01 Honolulu honolulu.n.01 at 23 : 30 Greenwich time greenwich_mean_time.n.01 . It turned out turn_out.v.02 that the waves wave.n.01 were be.v.01 not not.r.01 so so.r.01 high high.a.02 as in 1946 . They hurled hurl.v.01 a cement cement.n.02 barge barge.n.01 against a freighter bottom.n.07 in Honolulu Harbor NE , knocked down down.v.05 telephone lines telephone_wire.n.01 , marooned maroon.v.01 automobiles car.n.01 , flooded flood.v.02 lawns lawn.n.01 , killed kill.v.01 six six.s.01 cows cattle.n.01 .

There is little little.a.02 doubt doubt.n.02 that the warning warning.n.01 system system.n.01 saved salvage.v.01 lives life.n.08 and reduced reduce.v.01 the damage damage.n.01 . But it is be.v.01 plain apparent.s.01 that a warning warning.n.01 system system.n.01 , however however.r.03 efficient effective.s.02 , is be.v.01 not not.r.01 enough adequate.s.02 .

But his first first.s.3;1 few few.a.01 days day.n.01 with Troop H NE were be.v.01 full full.a.01 of surprises surprise.n.02 , beginning get_down.v.07 with First Sergeant Robert Early NE . Chandler NE had expected expect.v.01 a tough tough.a.01 old old.a.01 trooper cavalryman.n.01 with a gravel gravel.s.00 voice voice.n.01 . Instead alternatively.r.01 Sergeant Early NE was be.v.01 quiet quiet.a.01 , sharp astute.s.01 and confident confident.a.01 . He had enlisted enlist.v.01 in the Army army.n.01 straight directly.r.01 out of high school senior_high_school.n.01 and had immediately immediately.r.01 set about undertake.v.01 learning learn.v.01 his new raw.s.12 trade trade.n.02 . There was exist.v.01 no weapon weapon.n.01 Early NE could not not.r.01 take apart disassemble.v.01 and reassemble reassemble.v.01 blind-folded blindfold.s.01 . He could lead head.v.02 a patrol patrol.n.01 and he knew know.v.02 his paper work paperwork.n.01 .

He not only not_only.r.00 knew know.v.02 soldiering soldiering.n.01 , but mathematics mathematics.n.01 , history history.n.03 and literature literature.n.02 as well besides.r.02 . But for all his erudite erudite.s.01 confidence assurance.n.01 , Sergeant Early NE was be.v.01 right right.r.03 out of the Garryowen NE mold mold.n.02 . That saved salvage.v.01 Mel Chandler NE . Sergeant Early NE let let.v.02 the new raw.s.12 CO commanding_officer.n.01 know know.v.01 just precisely.r.01 how lucky lucky.s.01 he was be.v.01 to be be.v.03 in the best best.a.01 troop troop.n.2;1 in the best best.a.01 regiment regiment.n.01 in the United States united_states.n.01 Army army.n.01 . He fed feed.v.05 the captain captain.n.01 bits spot.n.10 of history history.n.02 about the troops military_personnel.n.01 and the regiment regiment.n.01 . For example for_example.r.01 , it was be.v.02 a battalion battalion.n.01 of the 7 th Cavalry NE under Colonel George Armstrong Custer NE that had been wiped out annihilated.s.01 at the Battle of The Little Big Horn NE . It did n't n't.r.00 take take.v.02 Captain Chandler NE long long.n.00 to realize recognize.v.02 that he had take.v.35 to carry hold.v.14 a heavy heavy.a.02 load load.n.01 of tradition custom.n.02 on his shoulders shoulder.n.01 as commander commanding_officer.n.01 of Troop H NE . But what made make.v.02 the load load.n.01 lighter light.a.05 was be.v.02 the realization realization.n.01 that every officer military_officer.n.01 , non-com noncommissioned_officer.n.01 and trooper cavalryman.n.01 was be.v.01 ready ready.a.01 and willing willing.a.01 to help help.v.01 him carry hold.v.14 it , for the good good.n.01 of the troop troop.n.2;1 and the regiment regiment.n.01 . Maneuvers maneuver.n.01 over complete.s.05 , the 7 th NE returned return.v.01 to garrison garrison.n.01 duty duty.n.02 in Tokyo tokyo.n.01 , Captain Chandler NE still still.r.01 with them . It was be.v.01 the 7 th Cavalry NE whose troopers cavalryman.n.01 were charged appoint.v.02 with guarding guard.v.02 the Imperial Palace of the Emperor NE . But still however.r.01 Mel Chandler NE was be.v.01 not not.r.01 completely wholly.r.01 convinced convinced.s.01 that men serviceman.n.01 would really truly.r.01 die die.v.02 for a four four.s.01 syllable syllable.n.01 word word.n.01 , `` Garryowen NE '' . It happened happen.v.01 at the St. Patrick NE 's Day NE party party.n.02 , a big large.a.01 affair affair.n.03 for a regiment regiment.n.01 which had gone into enter.v.01 battle battle.n.01 for over three three.s.01 quarters one-fourth.n.01 of a century century.n.01 to the strains tune.n.01 of an Irish irish.a.01 march master_of_architecture.n.01 . In the middle in_the_middle.r.00 of the party party.n.02 Chandler NE looked look.v.01 up up.r.01 to see see.v.01 four four.s.01 smiling beamish.s.01 faces face.n.01 bearing down charge.v.01 upon him , each beaming beam.v.01 above the biggest large.a.01 , greenest green.s.01 shamrock white_clover.n.01 he had ever ever.r.01 seen see.v.01 . The faces face.n.01 belonged to belong_to.v.01 Lieutenant Marvin Goulding NE , his wife wife.n.01 and their two two.s.01 children child.n.02 . And when the singing singing.n.01 began get_down.v.07 , it was be.v.02 the Gouldings NE who sang sing.v.01 the old old.a.02 Irish irish.a.01 songs song.n.01 the best best.a.01 . Though there was be.v.05 an occasional occasional.s.01 good-natured good-natured.a.01 chuckle chortle.n.01 about Marvin Goulding NE , the Jewish jewish.a.01 officer military_officer.n.01 from Chicago chicago.n.01 , singing sing.v.02 tearfully tearfully.r.01 about the ould old.a.02 sod turf.n.01 , no one really truly.r.01 thought think.v.01 it was be.v.01 strange strange.a.01 . For Marvin Goulding NE , like Giovanni Martini NE , the bugler bugler.n.01 boy boy.n.02 who carried impart.v.03 Custer NE 's last concluding.s.01 message message.n.01 , or Margarito Lopez NE , the one-man one-man.s.01 Army army.n.01 on Leyte leyte.n.01 , was be.v.01 a Garryowen NE , through through.r.01 and through through.r.01 . It was be.v.01 no coincidence coincidence.n.01 that Goulding NE was be.v.01 one of the most most.r.01 beloved beloved.s.01 platoon platoon.n.01 leaders leader.n.01 in the regiment regiment.n.01 . And so Mel Chandler NE got get.v.01 the spirit spirit.n.03 of Garryowen NE . He set out get_down.v.07 to keep keep.v.01 Troop H NE the best best.a.01 troop troop.n.2;1 in the best best.a.01 regiment regiment.n.01 . Even even.r.01 the mess mess.n.04 sergeant sergeant.n.01 , Bill Brown NE , a dapper dapper.s.01 , cocky cocky.s.01 transfer transfer.n.02 from an airborne airborne.s.01 division division.n.01 , went out go_out.v.03 on the range range.n.05 . The troop troop.n.2;1 received receive.v.01 a new raw.s.12 leader leader.n.01 , Lieutenant Robert M. Carroll NE , fresh newly.r.01 out of ROTC reserve_officers_training_corps.n.01 and bucking buck.v.01 for Regular Army army.n.01 status status.n.01 . Carroll NE was be.v.01 sharp astute.s.01 and military military.a.02 , but he was be.v.03 up against tough rugged.s.04 competition competition.n.03 for that RA NE berth position.n.06 , and he wanted desire.v.01 to play act.v.05 it cool cool.s.06 . So Mel Chandler NE set out get_down.v.07 to sell sell.v.03 him on the spirit spirit.n.03 of Garryowen NE , just precisely.r.01 as he himself had been sold sell.v.03 a short short.a.01 time time.n.03 before earlier.r.01 . When the Korean war korean_war.n.01 began get_down.v.07 , on June june.n.01 25 twenty-five.s.01 , 1950 , the anniversary anniversary.n.01 of the day day.n.03 Custer NE had gone down sink.v.04 fighting contend.v.06 at the Little Big Horn NE and the day day.n.03 the regiment regiment.n.01 had assaulted assail.v.01 the beachhead beachhead.n.01 of Leyte leyte.n.01 during World War 2 NE , , the 7 th Cavalry NE was be.v.01 not not.r.01 in the best best.a.01 fighting active.s.02 condition condition.n.01 . Its entire entire.s.01 complement complement.n.02 of non-commissioned noncommissioned.a.01 officers military_officer.n.01 on the platoon platoon.n.01 level grade.n.02 had departed depart.v.03 as cadre cadre.n.02 for another unit unit.n.02 , and its vehicles vehicle.n.01 were be.v.01 still still.r.01 those used used.a.01 in the drive campaign.n.02 across Luzon NE in World War 2 NE , . Just merely.r.01 a month calendar_month.n.01 after the Korean War korean_war.n.01 broke out erupt.v.01 , the 7 th Cavalry NE was moving into enter.v.01 the lines line.n.01 , ready ready.a.01 for combat combat.n.01 . From then then.r.03 on the Fighting Seventh NE was be.v.01 in the thick midst.n.01 of the bitterest bitter.s.05 fighting fight.n.02 in Korea korea.n.01 . One matchless.s.01 night night.n.01 on the Naktong River NE , Mel Chandler NE called on call_on.v.01 that fabled fabled.s.01 esprit de corps esprit_de_corps.n.01 . The troopers cavalryman.n.01 knew know.v.01 an attack attack.n.01 was be.v.01 coming approaching.s.01 , but they did n't n't.r.00 know know.v.01 when , and they did n't n't.r.00 know know.v.01 where . At 6 o ' clock on the morning morning.n.01 of August august.n.01 12 twelve.s.01 , they were be.v.01 in doubt doubt.n.01 no longer no_longer.r.01 . Then then.r.03 it came come.v.03 , against Troop H NE . The enemy enemy.n.01 had filtered filter.v.01 across the river river.n.01 during the night night.n.01 and a full entire.s.01 force military_unit.n.01 of 1000 thousand.s.01 men serviceman.n.01 , armed armed.a.01 with Russian russian.a.01 machine guns machine_gun.n.01 , attacked attack.v.01 the position military_position.n.01 held have.v.01 by Chandler NE 's men serviceman.n.01 . They came arrive.v.01 in waves wave.n.02 . First first.r.01 came arrive.v.01 the cannon fodder cannon_fodder.n.01 , white white.a.01 clad clothed.a.01 civilians civilian.n.01 being driven drive.v.5;4 into death death.n.4;2 as a massive massive.s.01 human human.a.02 battering ram battering_ram.n.01 . They were followed succeed.v.02 by crack ace.s.01 North Korean north_korean.a.01 troops troop.n.01 , who mounted mount.v.04 one one.s.01 charge charge.n.01 after another . They overran infest.v.01 the 7 th Cav NE 's forward forward.a.01 machine-gun machine_gun.n.01 positions military_position.n.01 through sheer absolute.s.02 weight weight.n.01 of numbers number.n.01 , over piles pile.n.01 of their own of_their_own.s.00 dead dead.n.01 . Another force military_unit.n.01 flanked flank.v.01 the company company.n.02 and took up take_up.v.04 a position military_position.n.01 on a hill hill.n.01 to the rear rear.n.01 . He assembled assemble.v.03 a group group.n.01 of 25 twenty-five.s.01 men serviceman.n.01 , composed composed.s.00 of wounded hurt.s.01 troopers cavalryman.n.01 awaiting expect.v.03 evacuation evacuation.n.02 , the company company.n.02 clerk clerk.n.01 , supply provision.n.02 men serviceman.n.01 , cooks cook.n.01 and drivers driver.n.01 , and led lead.v.01 them to the hill hill.n.01 . One one.s.01 of the more more.r.01 seriously badly.r.01 wounded hurt.s.01 was be.v.02 Lieutenant Carroll NE , the young young.a.01 officer military_officer.n.01 bucking buck.v.01 for the Regular Army army.n.01 . Chandler NE left leave.v.02 Carroll NE at the bottom bottom.n.02 of the hill hill.n.01 to direct conduct.v.02 any reinforcements support.n.04 he could find find.v.01 to the fight battle.n.01 . Then then.r.01 Mel Chandler NE started depart.v.03 up up.r.01 the hill hill.n.01 . He took take.v.01 one step step.n.03 , two two.s.01 , broke into break_into.v.02 a trot jog.n.02 and then then.r.01 into a run run.n.07 . The first first.a.01 thing thing.n.05 he knew know.v.01 the words word.n.01 `` Garryowen NE '' ! burst explode.v.02 from his throat throat.n.01 . His followers follower.n.01 shouted shout.v.02 the old old.a.02 battle cry war_cry.n.02 after him and charged charge.v.01 the hill hill.n.01 , firing open_fire.v.01 as they ran run.v.01 . The Koreans korean.n.01 fell back lag.v.01 , but regrouped reorganize.v.02 at the top peak.n.04 of the hill hill.n.01 and pinned trap.v.04 down the cavalrymen cavalryman.n.01 with a screen blind.n.03 of fire fire.n.02 . Chandler NE , looking to look_to.v.01 right right.n.02 and left left.n.01 to see determine.v.08 how his men serviceman.n.01 were faring do.v.04 , suddenly suddenly.r.01 saw see.v.01 another figure human_body.n.01 bounding jump.v.01 up the hill hill.n.01 , hurling hurl.v.01 grenades grenade.n.01 and hollering holler.v.2;1 the battle cry war_cry.n.02 as he ran run.v.01 . He had formed form.v.01 his own own.s.01 task force task_force.n.01 of three three.s.01 stragglers straggler.n.01 and led lead.v.01 them up the hill hill.n.01 in a Fighting Seventh NE charge charge.n.01 . Because of this diversionary attack diversion.n.03 the main chief.s.01 group group.n.01 that had been pinned trap.v.04 down on the hill hill.n.01 was be.v.01 able able.a.01 to surge billow.v.03 forward forward.r.01 again again.r.01 . But an enemy enemy.s.00 grenade grenade.n.01 hit hit.v.03 Carroll NE in the head head.n.01 and detonated explode.v.01 simultaneously simultaneously.r.01 . He went down sink.v.04 like a wet wet.a.01 rag rag.n.01 and the attackers attacker.n.01 hit the dirt hit_the_dirt.v.01 in the face face.n.13 of the withering annihilative.s.01 enemy enemy.s.00 fire fire.n.02 . Enemy enemy.s.00 reinforcements support.n.04 came come.v.01 pouring pour.v.02 down , seeking search.v.01 a soft spot weak_part.n.01 . They found find.v.01 it at the junction junction.n.01 between Troops H and G NE , and prepared fix.v.12 to counterattack counterattack.v.01 . Marvin Goulding NE saw understand.v.02 what was happening happen.v.01 . He turned to address.v.01 his platoon platoon.n.01 . `` Okay , men serviceman.n.01 '' , he said state.v.01 . Goulding NE leaped jump.v.01 to his feet foot.n.01 and started get_down.v.07 forward forth.r.02 , `` Garryowen NE '' ! on his lips lip.n.01 , his men serviceman.n.01 following follow.v.01 . But the bullets bullet.n.01 whacked whack.v.01 home home.r.02 before he finished complete.v.01 his battle cry war_cry.n.02 and Marvin Goulding NE fell fall.v.03 dead dead.a.01 . For an instant blink_of_an_eye.n.01 his men serviceman.n.01 hesitated hesitate.v.02 , unable unable.a.01 to believe believe.v.01 that their lieutenant lieutenant.n.01 , the most most.r.01 popular popular.a.01 officer military_officer.n.01 in the regiment regiment.n.01 , was be.v.01 dead dead.a.01 . Then then.r.01 they let out utter.v.02 a bellow bellow.n.01 of anguish anguish.n.2;1 and rage rage.n.2;1 and , cursing curse.v.01 , screaming shout.v.02 and hollering shout.v.02 `` Garryowen NE '' ! they charged charge.v.01 into the enemy enemy.n.01 like wild men wild_man.n.01 . That finished complete.v.01 the job job.n.02 that Captain Chandler NE and Lieutenant Carroll NE had begun begin.v.10 . Goulding NE 's platoon platoon.n.01 pushed back repel.v.01 the enemy enemy.s.00 soldiers soldier.n.01 and broke up interrupt.v.01 the timing timing.n.01 of the entire entire.s.01 enemy enemy.s.00 attack attack.n.01 . Reinforcements support.n.04 came up come.v.01 quickly promptly.r.01 to take advantage capitalize.v.01 of the opening opening.n.01 made make.v.03 by Goulding NE 's platoon platoon.n.01 . The North Koreans north_korean.n.01 threw away discard.v.01 their guns gun.n.01 and fled flee.v.01 across the rice paddies paddy.n.02 . Artillery artillery.n.02 and air air.a.00 strikes strike.n.02 were called in call_in.v.02 to kill kill.v.01 them by the hundreds hundred.n.01 . Today today.n.01 he is be.v.02 a major major.n.01 - in the Regular Army army.n.01 . So so.r.01 filled fill.v.01 was be.v.01 Mel Chandler NE with the spirit spirit.n.03 of Garryowen NE that after Korea korea.n.01 was be.v.01 over complete.s.05 , he took on assume.v.02 the job job.n.02 of writing publish.v.03 the complete complete.a.01 history history.n.02 of the regiment regiment.n.01 . After years year.n.01 of digging excavation.n.01 , nights night.n.01 and weekends weekend.n.01 , he put together assemble.v.01 the big large.a.01 , profusely abundantly.r.01 illustrated illustrated.a.00 book book.n.01 , Of Garryowen and Glory NE , which is constitute.v.01 probably probably.r.01 the most most.r.01 complete complete.a.01 history history.n.02 of any military unit military_unit.n.01 . The battle battle.n.01 of the Naktong River NE is be.v.01 just merely.r.01 one one.s.01 example example.n.01 of how the battle cry war_cry.n.02 and the spirit spirit.n.03 of The Fighting Seventh NE have paid off pay_off.v.01 . For nearly about.r.07 a century century.n.01 the cry war_cry.n.02 has never never.r.01 failed fail.v.01 to rally beat_up.v.02 the fighting active.s.02 men serviceman.n.01 of the regiment regiment.n.01 . Take consider.v.03 the case case.n.01 of Major Marcus A. Reno NE , who survived survive.v.01 the Battle of The Little Big Horn NE in 1876 . From the enlisted men enlisted_man.n.01 he pistol-whipped pistol-whip.v.01 to the subordinate subordinate.a.01 officer military_officer.n.01 whose wife wife.n.01 he tried try.v.01 to rape rape.v.01 , a lot batch.n.02 of men serviceman.n.01 had have.v.01 plenty plenty.n.01 of reason reason.n.01 heartily heartily.r.01 to dislike dislike.v.01 Marcus Reno NE . Many of his fellow fellow.s.00 officers military_officer.n.01 refused refuse.v.01 to speak to speak_to.v.00 him . But when a board board.n.01 of inquiry inquiry.n.03 was called call.v.07 to look into investigate.v.01 the charges charge.n.02 of cowardice cowardice.n.01 made make.v.01 against him , the men serviceman.n.01 who had seen see.v.01 Reno NE leave leave.v.01 the battlefield battlefield.n.01 and the officer military_officer.n.01 who had heard hear.v.01 Reno NE suggest propose.v.01 that the wounded hurt.s.01 be left leave.v.02 to be tortured torture.v.02 by the Sioux sioux.n.01 , refused refuse.v.01 to say state.v.01 a harsh harsh.s.01 word word.n.01 against him . Although it was be.v.05 at the Battle of The Little Horn NE , about which more more.a.02 words word.n.01 have been written publish.v.03 than any other other.a.01 battle battle.n.01 in American american.a.01 history history.n.01 , that the 7 th Cavalry NE first first.r.02 made make.v.01 its mark mark.n.05 in history history.n.04 , the regiment regiment.n.01 was be.v.01 ten ten.s.01 years year.n.01 old old.a.01 by then then.n.01 . Brevet Major General George Armstrong Custer NE was be.v.02 the regiment regiment.n.01 's first first.a.01 permanent permanent.a.01 commander commanding_officer.n.01 and , like such such.s.01 generals general.n.01 as George S. Patton NE and Terry de la Mesa Allen NE in their rise rise.n.04 to military military.a.01 prominence prominence.n.01 , Custer NE was be.v.01 a believer believer.n.01 in blood and guts blood-and-guts.s.01 warfare war.n.01 . During the Civil War civil_war.n.01 , Custer NE , who achieved achieve.v.01 a brilliant brilliant.s.01 record record.n.04 , was made make.v.02 brigadier general brigadier.n.01 at the age age.n.01 of 23 twenty-three.s.01 . He finished complete.v.01 the war war.n.01 as a major general major-general.n.01 , commanding command.v.01 a full entire.s.01 division division.n.01 , and at 25 twenty-five.s.01 was be.v.08 the youngest young.a.01 major general major-general.n.01 in the history history.n.01 of the U.

I do not not.r.01 mean mean.v.01 to suggest suggest.v.3;2 that these assumptions assumption.n.02 are be.v.01 self-evident axiomatic.s.01 , in the sense sense.n.05 that everyone agrees agree.v.01 with them . If they were be.v.01 , Walter Lippmann NE would be writing write.v.3;1 the same same.a.02 columns column.n.05 as George Sokolsky NE , and Herblock NE would have have.v.01 nothing nothing.n.01 to draw draw.v.06 cartoons cartoon.n.01 about . I do mean mean.v.01 , however however.r.01 , that I take assume.v.01 them for granted , and that everything I shall be saying state.v.01 would appear look.v.02 quite quite.r.02 idiotic crackbrained.s.01 against any contrary contrary.s.01 assumptions assumption.n.02 . The ultimate ultimate.a.01 objective aim.n.02 of American american.a.01 policy policy.n.02 is be.v.02 to help help.v.01 establish establish.v.02 a world world.n.08 in which there is exist.v.01 the largest largest.s.00 possible possible.a.01 measure measure.n.02 of freedom freedom.n.01 and justice justice.n.02 and peace peace.n.01 and material material.s.01 prosperity prosperity.n.2;1 ; and in particular particularly.r.02 - since this is be.v.01 our special particular.s.01 responsibility duty.n.01 - that these conditions condition.n.01 be enjoyed enjoy.v.02 by the people people.n.01 of the United States united_states.n.01 . I speak of speak_of.v.00 `` the largest large.a.01 possible possible.a.01 measure measure.n.02 '' because any person person.n.01 who supposes think.v.02 that these conditions condition.n.01 can be universally universally.r.01 and perfectly absolutely.r.01 achieved achieve.v.01 - ever ever.r.01 - reckons reckon.v.2;1 without the inherent built-in.s.01 imperfectability imperfectability.n.00 of himself and his fellow fellow.s.00 human beings homo.n.02 , and is be.v.01 therefore therefore.r.01 a dangerous dangerous.a.01 man man.n.03 to have have.v.01 around about.r.03 . This is be.v.01 true true.a.01 for two two.s.01 reasons reason.n.02 : because Communism communism.n.01 is be.v.01 both doctrinally doctrinally.r.01 , and in practice in_practice.r.01 , antithetical antithetic.s.01 to these conditions condition.n.01 ; and because Communists communist.n.01 have have.v.01 the will will.n.02 and , as long long.n.00 as Soviet soviet.a.01 power power.n.01 remains stay.v.01 intact intact.s.04 , the capacity capability.n.02 to prevent prevent.v.01 their realization realization.n.02 . Moreover furthermore.r.01 , as Communist communist.a.01 power power.n.01 increases increase.n.03 , the enjoyment use.n.07 of these conditions condition.n.01 throughout the world world.n.08 diminishes decrease.v.01 pro rata proportionately.r.03 and the possibility possibility.n.02 of their restoration restitution.n.03 becomes become.v.01 increasingly increasingly.r.01 remote outside.s.08 . It follows follow.v.03 that victory victory.n.01 over Communism communism.n.01 is be.v.01 the dominant dominant.a.01 , proximate proximate.a.01 goal goal.n.01 of American american.a.01 policy policy.n.02 . Proximate proximate.a.01 in the sense sense.n.02 that there are exist.v.01 more more.r.01 distant distant.a.02 , more more.r.01 `` positive positive.a.01 '' ends goal.n.01 we seek seek.v.01 , to which victory victory.n.01 over Communism communism.n.01 is be.v.7;1 but a means means.n.01 . But dominant dominant.a.01 in the sense sense.n.02 that every every.s.01 other other.a.01 objective aim.n.02 , no matter regardless.r.01 how how.r.00 worthy worthy.a.01 intrinsically intrinsically.r.01 , must defer submit.v.06 to it . Peace peace.n.01 is be.v.01 a worthy worthy.a.01 objective aim.n.02 ; but if we must choose choose.v.01 between peace peace.n.01 and keeping prevent.v.02 the Communists communist.n.01 out of Berlin berlin.n.01 , then then.r.02 we must fight contend.v.06 . Freedom freedom.n.01 , in the sense sense.n.02 of self-determination self-government.n.01 , is be.v.01 a worthy worthy.a.01 objective aim.n.02 ; but if granting allow.v.03 self-determination self-government.n.01 to the Algerian algerian.a.01 rebels NE entails entail.v.01 sweeping embroil.v.01 that area area.n.01 into the Sino-Soviet NE orbit scope.n.01 , then then.r.02 Algerian algerian.a.01 freedom freedom.n.01 must be postponed postpone.v.01 . Justice justice.n.02 is be.v.01 a worthy worthy.a.01 objective aim.n.02 ; but if justice justice.n.02 for Bantus NE entails entail.v.01 driving force.v.06 the government government.n.01 of the Union of South Africa south_africa.n.01 away away.r.01 from the West west.n.01 , then then.r.02 the Bantus NE must be be.v.01 prepared prepared.a.01 to carry carry.v.02 their identification identification.n.02 cards card.n.02 yet yet.r.01 a while longer longer.r.01 . Prosperity prosperity.n.01 is be.v.01 a worthy worthy.a.01 objective aim.n.02 ; but if providing provide.v.02 higher high.a.01 standards of living standard_of_living.n.01 gets become.v.01 in the way way.n.05 of producing produce.v.02 sufficient sufficient.a.01 guns gun.n.01 to resist resist.v.02 Communist communist.a.01 aggression aggression.n.01 , then then.r.02 material material.s.01 sacrifices forfeit.n.03 and denials abnegation.n.02 will have to be made make.v.01 . This much much.n.01 having been said state.v.01 , the question question.n.02 remains remain.v.03 whether we have have.v.01 the resources resource.n.2;1 for the job job.n.02 we have to do make.v.01 - defeat get_the_better_of.v.01 Communism communism.n.01 - and , if so , how those resources resource.n.2;1 ought to be used use.v.01 . This brings bring.v.01 us squarely squarely.r.01 to the problem trouble.n.01 of power power.n.01 , and the uses use.n.03 a nation state.n.04 makes make.v.01 of power power.n.01 . I submit submit.v.02 that this is be.v.01 the key cardinal.s.01 problem trouble.n.01 of international international.a.01 relations relations.n.01 , that it always always.r.01 has been be.v.01 , that it always always.r.01 will be be.v.01 . And I suggest propose.v.01 further further.r.02 that the main chief.s.01 cause cause.n.01 of the trouble trouble.n.01 we are be.v.03 in has been be.v.01 the failure failure.n.02 of American american.a.01 policy-makers policy_maker.n.01 , ever ever.r.01 since we assumed assume.v.02 free world free_world.n.01 leadership leadership.n.03 in 1945 , to deal deal.v.03 with this problem trouble.n.01 realistically realistically.r.01 and seriously seriously.r.01 . In the recent recent.s.01 political campaign political_campaign.n.01 two two.s.01 charges charge.n.02 were leveled level.v.01 affecting affect.v.01 the question question.n.02 of power power.n.01 , and I think think.v.01 we might begin get_down.v.07 by trying try.v.01 to put put.v.02 them into proper proper.s.02 focus focus.n.03 . One one.s.01 was be.v.01 demonstrably demonstrably.r.01 false false.a.01 ; the other other.a.01 , for the most part largely.r.01 , true true.a.01 . The first first.a.01 was be.v.02 that America united_states.n.01 had become become.v.02 - or was in danger of becoming become.v.02 - a second-rate mediocre.s.01 military military.a.01 power world_power.n.01 . I know know.v.03 I do not not.r.01 have to dwell brood.v.01 here here.r.02 on the absurdity absurdity.n.01 of that contention contention.n.01 . You may have have.v.01 misgivings scruple.n.02 about certain certain.s.01 aspects aspect.n.02 of our military military.a.01 establishment establishment.n.3;2 - I certainly surely.r.01 do - but you know know.v.01 any comparison comparison.n.01 of over-all overall.s.02 American american.a.01 strength military_capability.n.01 with over-all overall.s.02 Soviet soviet.a.01 strength military_capability.n.01 finds detect.v.01 the United States united_states.n.01 not only not_only.r.00 superior superior.a.01 , but so so.r.01 superior superior.a.01 both in present present.a.01 weapons weapon.n.01 and in the development development.n.1;2 of new fresh.s.04 ones that our advantage advantage.n.01 promises promise.v.04 to be be.v.01 a permanent permanent.a.01 feature feature.n.01 of U.

Suppose suppose.v.01 , he says state.v.01 , that the tables were turned turn_the_tables.v.01 , and we were be.v.03 in the Soviets soviets.n.01 ' position situation.n.02 : `` There would be exist.v.01 more than more_than.r.00 2000 modern modern.a.01 Soviet soviet.a.01 fighters fighter.n.02 , all better better.a.01 than ours , stationed station.v.01 at 250 bases base.n.01 in Mexico mexico.n.01 and the Caribbean caribbean.n.01 .

The vulnerability vulnerability.n.01 of Protestantism protestantism.n.01 to social social.a.01 differences difference.n.01 stems stem.v.01 from the peculiar particular.s.01 role function.n.02 of the new new.a.01 religious religious.s.04 style manner.n.01 in middle-class middle-class.a.01 life life.n.01 , where the congregation congregation.n.01 is be.v.02 a vehicle vehicle.n.02 of social social.a.01 and economic economic.a.01 group group.n.01 identity identity.n.02 and must conform conform_to.v.02 , therefore therefore.r.01 , to the principle principle.n.03 of economic economic.a.01 integration integration.n.01 . This fact fact.n.01 is be.v.01 evident apparent.s.01 in the recruitment recruitment.n.01 of new new.a.01 members member.n.01 . The rule rule.n.01 of economic economic.a.01 integration integration.n.01 in congregational congregational.a.01 life life.n.01 can be seen witness.v.02 in the missionary missionary.n.01 outreach outreach.n.01 of the major major.a.03 denominations denomination.n.01 . There is be.v.05 much much.a.01 talk talk.n.01 in theological theological.a.01 circles set.n.05 about the `` Church church.n.01 as Mission mission.n.01 '' and the `` Church church.n.01 's Mission mission.n.03 '' ; theologians theologian.n.01 have been stressing stress.v.01 the fact fact.n.01 that the Church church.n.01 does not not.r.01 exist exist.v.01 for its own own.s.01 sake sake.n.01 but as a testimony testimony.n.03 in the world worldly_concern.n.01 for the healing healing.n.01 of the world worldly_concern.n.01 . A crucial crucial.a.01 question question.n.02 , therefore therefore.r.01 , is be.v.02 what evangelism evangelism.n.01 and mission mission.n.04 actually actually.r.01 mean entail.v.01 in metropolitan metropolitan.a.01 Protestantism protestantism.n.01 . If economic economic.a.01 integration integration.n.01 really truly.r.01 shapes determine.v.02 congregational congregational.a.01 life life.n.01 , then then.r.02 evangelism evangelism.n.01 should be be.v.02 a process process.n.06 of extending extend.v.04 economic economic.a.01 integration integration.n.01 . ( Co-optation co-option.n.01 means mean.v.03 to choose choose.v.01 by joint joint.a.01 action action.n.01 in order to fill fill.v.04 a vacancy vacancy.n.01 ; it can also besides.r.02 mean mean.v.03 the assimilation assimilation.n.06 of centers center.n.01 of power power.n.01 from an environment environment.n.01 in order to strengthen strengthen.v.01 an organization organization.n.01 . ) In a mobile mobile.s.01 society society.n.01 , congregational congregational.a.01 health health.n.01 depends on depend_on.v.01 a constant ceaseless.s.01 process process.n.06 of recruitment recruitment.n.01 ; this recruitment recruitment.n.01 , however however.r.01 , must follow follow.v.07 the pattern convention.n.02 of economic economic.a.01 integration integration.n.01 or it will disrupt disrupt.v.02 the congregation congregation.n.01 ; therefore therefore.r.01 , the recruitment recruitment.n.01 or missionary missionary.n.01 outreach outreach.n.01 of the congregation congregation.n.01 will be be.v.02 co-optation co-option.n.01 rather than proclamation announcement.n.01 - like elements component.n.01 will have to be assimilated assimilate.v.03 . Evangelism evangelism.n.01 and congregational congregational.a.01 outreach outreach.n.01 have not not.r.01 been carefully carefully.r.01 studied analyze.v.01 in the churches church.n.01 ; one matchless.s.01 study survey.n.01 in Pittsburgh pittsburgh.n.01 , however however.r.01 , has illuminated clear.v.10 the situation situation.n.01 . In a sample sample.n.01 of new new.a.01 members member.n.01 of Pittsburgh pittsburgh.n.01 churches church.n.01 , almost about.r.07 60 sixty.s.01 per cent percentage.n.01 were recruited enroll.v.01 by initial initial.s.01 `` contacts contact.n.01 with friendly friendly.a.01 members member.n.01 '' .

The conversation conversation.n.01 that ensued result.v.01 may have been engrossing absorbing.s.01 but it could hardly barely.r.01 be called call.v.02 world shattering earthshaking.s.02 . For one thing for_one_thing.r.00 , the world world.n.03 that Beckett NE sees see.v.05 is be.v.01 already already.r.01 shattered shattered.s.01 . His talk talk.n.01 turns to turn_to.v.02 what he calls call.v.02 `` the mess mess.n.01 '' , or sometimes sometimes.r.01 `` this buzzing abuzz.s.01 confusion confusion.n.01 '' . I reconstruct rebuild.v.01 his sentences sentence.n.01 from notes note.n.01 made make.v.03 immediately immediately.r.01 after our conversation conversation.n.01 . What appears appear.v.03 here here.r.01 is be.v.01 shorter short.a.01 than what he actually actually.r.01 said state.v.01 but very very.r.01 close close.s.05 to his own own.s.01 words words.n.01 . We cannot listen listen.v.02 to a conversation conversation.n.01 for five five.s.01 minutes minute.n.01 without being be.v.01 acutely acutely.r.01 aware aware.a.01 of the confusion confusion.n.01 .

It is be.v.01 not not.r.01 a mess mess.n.01 you can make draw.v.04 sense sense.n.05 of '' . I suggested propose.v.01 that one must let let.v.01 it in in.r.01 because it is be.v.01 the truth truth.n.01 , but Beckett NE did not not.r.01 take to fancy.v.02 the word word.n.01 truth truth.n.01 . `` What is be.v.01 more more.r.01 true true.a.01 than anything else else.s.00 ?

One cannot speak talk.v.01 anymore anymore.r.01 of being being.n.01 , one must speak talk.v.01 only entirely.r.02 of the mess mess.n.01 . I am be.v.08 not not.r.01 a philosopher philosopher.n.01 . One can only entirely.r.02 speak talk.v.01 of what is be.v.03 in front ahead.r.01 of him , and that now nowadays.r.01 is be.v.02 simply merely.r.01 the mess mess.n.01 '' . Then then.r.01 he began get_down.v.07 to speak talk.v.01 about the tension tension.n.03 in art art.n.01 between the mess mess.n.01 and form form.n.03 . Until recently recently.r.01 , art art.n.01 has withstood defy.v.01 the pressure pressure.n.02 of chaotic chaotic.s.01 things thing.n.01 . It has held keep.v.01 them at bay at_bay.s.01 . It realized understand.v.02 that to admit admit.v.02 them was to jeopardize endanger.v.01 form form.n.03 . `` How could the mess mess.n.01 be admitted admit.v.02 , because it appears look.v.02 to be be.v.02 the very very.s.01 opposite reverse.n.01 of form form.n.03 and therefore therefore.r.01 destructive destructive.a.01 of the very very.s.01 thing thing.n.03 that art art.n.01 holds deem.v.01 itself to be be.v.01 '' ? But now nowadays.r.01 we can keep exclude.v.02 it out no longer no_longer.r.01 , because we have come arrive.v.01 into a time time.n.03 when `` it invades intrude_on.v.01 our experience experience.n.02 at every moment moment.n.01 . It is be.v.03 there and it must be allowed in admit.v.02 '' . And why not not.r.01 ? How , I asked ask.v.01 , could chaos chaos.n.01 be admitted admit.v.02 to chaos chaos.n.01 ? Would not not.r.01 that be the end end.n.02 of thinking thinking.n.01 and the end end.n.02 of art art.n.01 ? If we look at consider.v.03 recent recent.s.01 art art.n.01 we find detect.v.01 it preoccupied haunted.s.01 with form form.n.03 . Beckett NE 's own own.s.01 work work.n.02 is be.v.02 an example example.n.01 . Plays play.n.01 more more.r.01 highly highly.r.03 formalized formalistic.a.01 than `` Waiting for Godot NE '' , `` Endgame NE '' , and `` Krapp NE 's Last Tape NE '' would be be.v.01 hard difficult.a.01 to find find.v.03 . `` What I am saying state.v.01 does not not.r.01 mean entail.v.01 that there will henceforth henceforth.r.01 be exist.v.01 no form form.n.03 in art art.n.01 . It only merely.r.01 means entail.v.01 that there will be exist.v.01 new fresh.s.04 form form.n.03 , and that this form form.n.03 will be be.v.01 of such such.s.01 a type type.n.01 that it admits admit.v.01 the chaos chaos.n.01 and does not not.r.01 try try.v.01 to say allege.v.01 that the chaos chaos.n.01 is be.v.02 really actually.r.01 something else else.s.00 . The form form.n.03 and the chaos chaos.n.01 remain stay.v.01 separate separate.a.01 .

Yet , I responded answer.v.01 , could not not.r.01 similar similar.a.01 things thing.n.07 be said allege.v.01 about the art art.n.01 of the past past.n.01 ?

I asked ask.v.01 about the battle struggle.n.01 between life life.n.02 and death death.n.03 in his plays play.n.01 .

If there were exist.v.01 only entirely.r.02 darkness iniquity.n.01 , all would be be.v.01 clear clear.s.2;1 . It is because there is exist.v.01 not only not_only.r.00 darkness iniquity.n.01 but also besides.r.02 light light.n.06 that our situation situation.n.01 becomes become.v.03 inexplicable inexplicable.a.01 .

One one.n.01 of the obvious obvious.a.01 conclusions conclusion.n.02 we can make draw.v.04 on the basis footing.n.02 of the last last.s.01 election election.n.01 , I suppose speculate.v.01 , is be.v.02 that we , the majority majority.n.02 , were be.v.01 dissatisfied disgruntled.s.01 with Eisenhower NE conservatism conservatism.n.01 .

This is be.v.01 , however , symptomatic of symptomatic_of.s.00 our national national.a.06 malaise malaise.n.01 . But before I try try.v.01 to diagnose diagnose.v.01 it , I would offer offer.v.01 other other.a.01 evidence evidence.n.02 .

But the most most.a.02 notable noteworthy.s.01 thing thing.n.03 about the incantation incantation.n.01 of these ex antique.s.02 liberals liberal.n.01 was be.v.02 that the one-time erstwhile.s.01 shibboleth shibboleth.n.02 of socialism socialism.n.01 was be.v.01 conspicuously prominently.r.01 absent absent.a.01 . The second second.s.01 specific specific.a.01 comment remark.n.01 was be.v.02 the report report.n.01 of Eisenhower NE 's Commission on National Goals NE , titled coroneted.s.01 Goals For Americans NE . They , perhaps possibly.r.01 , gave give.v.04 the pitch sales_talk.n.01 of their position position.n.03 in the preface foreword.n.01 where it was said state.v.01 that Eisenhower NE requested request.v.02 that the Commission committee.n.01 be administered administer.v.01 by the American Assembly of Columbia University NE , because it was be.v.01 non-partisan nonpartisan.s.00 . The Commission committee.n.01 seems look.v.02 to represent typify.v.02 the viewpoint point_of_view.n.01 of what I would call name.v.01 the unconscious unconscious.a.01 liberal liberal.n.01 , but not not.r.01 unconscious unconscious.a.01 enough enough.r.01 , to invoke raise.v.07 the now nowadays.r.01 taboo forbidden.s.01 symbolism symbolism.n.01 of socialism socialism.n.01 . This group group.n.01 is be.v.01 secularist secularist.n.01 and their program platform.n.02 tends tend.v.01 to be be.v.01 technological technological.s.01 . But it is be.v.02 the need need.n.02 to undertake undertake.v.03 these testaments testament.n.01 that I would submit submit.v.02 here here.r.02 as symptom symptom.n.02 of the common man commoner.n.01 's malaise malaise.n.01 . And let let.v.01 me add add.v.02 Murray NE 's new new.a.01 book book.n.01 as another symptom symptom.n.02 of it , particularly particularly.r.01 so so.r.02 in view of the attention attention.n.03 Time NE magazine magazine.n.01 gave give.v.05 it when it came out appear.v.03 recently recently.r.01 . Father Murray NE goes back recur.v.02 to the Declaration of Independence declaration_of_independence.n.01 , too besides.r.02 , though I may add add.v.02 , with considerably well.r.07 more more.r.01 historical historical.a.01 perception perception.n.02 . I will reserve allow.v.04 discussion discussion.n.01 of it for a moment moment.n.02 , however , to return hark_back.v.01 to President Kennedy NE . As symptomatic of symptomatic_of.s.00 the common man commoner.n.01 's malaise malaise.n.01 , he is be.v.01 most most.r.02 significant significant.a.01 : a liberal liberal.n.01 and a Catholic catholic.n.01 , elected elect.v.01 by the skin of his teeth . Does that not not.r.01 suggest hint.v.01 to you an uncertain uncertain.a.01 and uneasy uneasy.a.01 , not not.r.01 to say say.v.07 confused confused.a.05 , state state.n.02 of the public public.s.02 mind judgment.n.01 ?

And the basic basic.s.02 character character.n.03 of that liberalism liberalism.n.01 has been be.v.01 spiritual spiritual.s.02 rather rather.r.01 than economic economic.a.02 . Ralph Gabriel NE gave give.v.01 it the name name.n.01 of Protestant protestant.a.01 philosophy doctrine.n.01 of Progress advancement.n.03 . But there 's be.v.01 a subjective subjective.a.01 side side.n.06 to that utopian utopian.a.01 outlook mentality.n.01 .

Hence therefore.r.01 the prime premier.s.01 issue issue.n.01 , as I see understand.v.02 it , is be.v.02 whether a democratic democratic.a.01 or free free.a.01 society society.n.01 can master dominate.v.03 technology technology.n.01 for the benefit benefit.n.02 of mankind world.n.08 , or whether technology technology.n.01 will rule predominate.v.01 and develop develop.v.01 its own own.s.01 society society.n.01 compatible compatible.a.01 with its own own.s.01 needs need.n.02 as a force force.n.01 of nature nature.n.02 .

We must believe believe.v.01 we have have.v.01 the ability ability.n.01 to affect affect.v.01 our own own.s.01 destinies destiny.n.01 : otherwise why try try.v.01 anything ? So in these pages page.n.01 the term term.n.01 `` technology technology.n.01 '' is used use.v.01 to include include.v.03 any and all means means.n.02 which could amplify magnify.v.01 , project project.v.01 , or augment augment.v.01 man world.n.08 's control control.n.7;1 over himself and over other other.a.01 men man.n.03 .

But in looking at consider.v.03 Faulkner NE against his background background.n.01 in Mississippi mississippi.n.02 and the South south.n.01 , it is be.v.01 important important.a.01 not not.r.01 to lose lose.v.05 the broader across-the-board.s.01 perspective position.n.03 .

In this essay essay.n.01 , we are be.v.01 , along with most most.a.01 historians historian.n.01 , interested interested.a.01 in the more more.r.01 general general.a.01 or more more.r.01 inclusive inclusive.a.01 ideas idea.n.01 , that are be.v.01 so to speak as_we_say.r.01 `` writ large writ_large.s.01 '' in history history.n.02 of literature literature.n.01 where they recur recur.v.01 continually continually.r.01 . Outstanding outstanding.s.02 among these is be.v.01 the idea idea.n.01 of human human.a.01 nature nature.n.01 itself , including include.v.01 the many many.a.01 definitions definition.n.01 that have been advanced advance.v.02 over the centuries century.n.01 ; also besides.r.02 secondary secondary.a.01 notions notion.n.02 such as the perfectibility perfectibility.n.01 of man world.n.08 , the depravity corruption.n.04 of man world.n.08 , and the dignity dignity.n.01 of man world.n.08 . One might , indeed indeed.r.01 , argue argue.v.01 that the history history.n.02 of ideas idea.n.01 , in so far insofar.r.01 as it includes include.v.01 the literatures literature.n.01 , must center on focus_on.v.01 characterizations word_picture.n.01 of human human.a.01 nature nature.n.01 and that the great great.s.02 periods time_period.n.01 of literary literary.a.01 achievement accomplishment.n.01 may be distinguished distinguish.v.01 from one another by reference reference.n.07 to the images image.n.01 of human human.a.01 nature nature.n.01 that they succeed succeed.v.01 in fashioning fashion.v.01 . We need not not.r.01 , to be sure to_be_sure.r.01 , expect expect.v.01 to find find.v.01 such such.s.01 ideas idea.n.01 in every piece piece.n.02 of literature literature.n.01 . An idea idea.n.01 , of the sort kind.n.01 that we have in mind think_of.v.04 , although of necessity inevitably.r.01 readily readily.r.01 available available.a.01 to imagination imagination.n.02 , is be.v.01 more more.r.01 general general.a.01 in connotation connotation.n.02 than most most.a.01 poetic poetic.a.01 or literary literary.a.01 images image.n.01 , especially particularly.r.01 those appearing appear.v.02 in lyric poems lyric.n.02 that seek try.v.01 to capture capture.v.01 a moment moment.n.01 of personal personal.s.02 experience experience.n.03 . Thus therefore.r.01 Burns NE 's `` My love beloved.n.01 is be.v.01 like a red red.s.01 , red red.s.01 rose rose.n.01 '' and Hopkins NE ' `` The thunder-purple sea sea.n.01 beach beach.n.01 , plumed purple purple.n.01 of thunder thunder.n.02 '' although clearly clearly.r.01 intelligible apprehensible.s.01 in content message.n.02 , hardly barely.r.01 present present.v.02 ideas idea.n.01 of the sort kind.n.01 with which we are here here.r.02 concerned concern.v.02 . On the other hand on_the_other_hand.r.01 , Arnold NE 's `` The unplumbed profound.s.06 , salt salt.s.01 , estranging estranging.s.01 sea sea.n.01 '' , taken take.v.06 in its context context.n.01 , certainly surely.r.01 does so so.r.03 . Thus therefore.r.01 the student scholar.n.01 of literature literature.n.01 may sometimes sometimes.r.01 find find.v.05 it helpful helpful.s.00 to classify classify.v.01 a poem poem.n.01 or an essay essay.n.01 as being be.v.01 in idea idea.n.01 or in ideal ideal.s.01 content message.n.02 or subject matter message.n.02 typical typical.a.01 or atypical atypical.a.01 of its period time_period.n.01 . Again , he may discover detect.v.01 embodied bodied.s.02 within its texture texture.n.02 a theme theme.n.02 or idea idea.n.01 that has been presented present.v.02 elsewhere elsewhere.r.01 and at other other.a.01 times time.n.03 in various respective.s.01 ways manner.n.01 . Our understanding understanding.n.01 will very very.r.01 probably probably.r.01 require necessitate.v.01 both these commentaries comment.n.02 . Very very.r.01 likely probably.r.01 it will also besides.r.02 include include.v.01 a recognition recognition.n.01 that the work work.n.02 we are reading read.v.01 reflects reflect.v.01 or `` belongs to belong_to.v.01 '' some way manner.n.01 of thought thought.n.03 labelled label.v.01 as a `` school school.n.04 '' or an `` - ism doctrine.n.01 '' , i. e. i.e..r.01 a complex complex.n.01 or `` syndrome syndrome.n.01 '' of ideas idea.n.01 occurring occur.v.03 together together.r.02 with sufficient sufficient.a.01 prominence prominence.n.01 to warrant justify.v.01 identification designation.n.03 . Thus therefore.r.01 ideas idea.n.01 like `` grace grace.n.01 '' , `` salvation redemption.n.01 '' , and `` providence providence.n.02 '' cluster cluster.v.01 together together.r.02 in traditional traditional.a.01 Christianity christianity.n.01 . Usually normally.r.01 the work work.n.02 studied analyze.v.01 offers offer.v.01 us a special particular.s.01 or even even.r.01 an individualized individualized.s.01 rendering interpretation.n.04 or treatment discussion.n.01 of the ideas idea.n.01 in question doubtful.s.01 , so that the student scholar.n.01 finds find.v.05 it necessary necessary.a.01 to distinguish distinguish.v.01 carefully carefully.r.01 between the several respective.s.01 expressions expression.n.03 of an `` - ism doctrine.n.01 '' or mode manner.n.01 of thought thought.n.03 . Accordingly consequently.r.01 we may speak of speak_of.v.00 the Platonism platonism.n.01 peculiar particular.s.01 to Shelley NE 's poems poem.n.01 or the type type.n.01 of Stoicism stoicism.n.02 present present.a.02 in Henley NE 's `` Invictus NE '' , and we may find find.v.05 that describing describe.v.01 such such.s.01 Platonism platonism.n.01 or such such.s.01 Stoicism stoicism.n.02 and contrasting contrast.v.01 each with other other.a.01 expressions expression.n.03 of the same same.a.01 attitude attitude.n.01 or mode manner.n.01 of thought thought.n.03 is be.v.01 a difficult difficult.a.01 and challenging ambitious.s.02 enterprise enterprise.n.01 . After all after_all.r.01 , Shelley NE is be.v.01 no `` orthodox orthodox.a.02 '' or Hellenic greek.n.01 Platonist platonist.n.01 , and even even.r.01 his `` romantic romantic.a.01 '' Platonism platonism.n.01 can be distinguished distinguish.v.01 from that of his contemporaries coevals.n.01 . Again , Henley NE 's attitude attitude.n.01 of defiance defiance.n.01 which colors tinge.v.01 his ideal ideal.n.01 of self self.n.02 mastery domination.n.02 is be.v.01 far far.a.01 from characteristic characteristic.a.01 of a Stoic stoic.n.01 thinker thinker.n.01 like Marcus Aurelius NE , whose gentle gentle.s.01 acquiescence acquiescence.n.01 is be.v.01 almost about.r.07 Christian christian.a.02 , comparable to comparable_to.s.01 the patience patience.n.01 expressed express.v.01 in Milton NE 's sonnet sonnet.n.01 on his own own.s.01 blindness blindness.n.01 . When these fields discipline.n.01 are surveyed survey.v.01 together together.r.04 , important important.a.01 patterns form.n.03 of relationship relationship.n.01 emerge emerge.v.03 indicating bespeak.v.01 a vast huge.s.01 community community.n.06 of reciprocal reciprocal.a.01 influence influence.n.02 , a continuity continuity.n.01 of thought thought.n.03 and expression expression.n.3;2 including include.v.01 many many.a.01 traditions tradition.n.01 , primarily chiefly.r.01 literary literary.a.01 , religious religious.s.04 , and philosophical philosophic.a.01 , but frequently frequently.r.01 including include.v.01 contact contact.n.01 with the fine arts fine_arts.n.01 and even even.r.01 , to some some.a.01 extent extent.n.01 , with science skill.n.02 . Here here.r.02 we may observe detect.v.01 that at least at_least.r.02 one one.s.01 modern modern.a.01 philosophy philosophy.n.02 of history history.n.04 is built construct.v.01 on the assumption premise.n.01 that ideas idea.n.01 are be.v.01 the primary primary.a.01 objectives aim.n.02 of the historian historian.n.01 's research inquiry.n.01 . Let us quote quote.v.01 once more again.r.01 from R. G. Collingwood NE : `` History history.n.03 is properly properly.r.01 concerned concern.v.02 with the actions action.n.01 of human beings homo.n.02 .

On November november.n.01 22 , 1952 , he wrote write.v.05 the Board NE , protesting protest.v.02 this classification categorization.n.03 . He again again.r.01 stated state.v.01 that he was be.v.02 `` a regular regular.a.01 minister curate.n.01 '' ; that he was `` devoting give.v.18 an average average.n.01 of 100 hundred.s.01 hours hour.n.01 a month calendar_month.n.01 to actual actually.r.01 preaching preach.v.01 publicly publicly.r.01 '' , in addition in_addition.r.00 to 50 fifty.s.01 to 75 hours hour.n.01 in other other.a.01 ministerial ministerial.a.01 duties duty.n.02 , and that he opposed oppose.v.01 war war.n.01 in any form kind.n.01 . Thereafter thereafter.r.01 he was classified classify.v.01 1 , - O . In a periodic periodic.a.01 review follow-up.n.03 , the local local.a.03 board board.n.01 on July july.n.01 30 thirtieth.s.01 , 1953 , reclassified reclassify.v.01 him 1 , - A and upheld uphold.v.03 this classification categorization.n.03 after a personal personal.a.01 appearance appearance.n.03 by petitioner petitioner.n.01 , because of his willingness willingness.n.01 to kill kill.v.01 in defense defense.n.02 of his church church.n.01 and home home.n.01 . Upon administrative administrative.a.01 approval blessing.n.01 of the reclassification reclassification.n.01 , he was ordered order.v.01 to report report.v.03 for induction initiation.n.01 on June june.n.01 11 eleventh.s.01 , 1956 , but failed fail.v.01 to do do.v.03 so . He was not not.r.01 prosecuted prosecute.v.01 , however however.r.04 , and his case lawsuit.n.01 was subsequently subsequently.r.01 reopened reopen.v.01 , in the light light.n.03 of Sicurella v.

There followed follow.v.06 a customary customary.s.01 Department of Justice NE hearing hearing.n.01 , at which petitioner petitioner.n.01 appeared appear.v.07 . In his report report.n.01 to the Attorney General NE , the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 suggested propose.v.01 that the petitioner petitioner.n.01 be be.v.01 exempt exempt.a.01 only merely.r.01 from combatant combatant.s.01 training training.n.01 and service military_service.n.01 . On March march.n.01 21 , 1957 , however however.r.01 , the Department NE recommended recommend.v.01 approval blessing.n.01 of the 1 , - A classification categorization.n.03 . Its ground reason.n.01 for this recommendation recommendation.n.01 was be.v.02 that , while petitioner petitioner.n.01 claimed claim.v.01 before the local local.a.03 board board.n.01 August august.n.01 17 seventeenth.s.01 , 1956 ( as evidenced testify.v.02 by its memorandum memo.n.01 in his file file.n.01 of that date date.n.01 ) , that he was devoting give.v.18 100 hundred.s.01 hours hour.n.01 per month calendar_month.n.01 to actual actual.s.03 preaching sermon.n.01 , the headquarters headquarters.n.01 of the Jehovah's Witnesses NE reported report.v.02 that he was no longer no_longer.r.01 doing make.v.01 so and , on the contrary contrarily.r.02 , had relinquished release.v.08 both his Pioneer and Bible Student Servant NE positions position.n.06 . It reported report.v.02 that he now now.r.01 devoted give.v.18 only merely.r.01 some 6 six.s.01 - 1 2 twelve.s.01 hours hour.n.01 per month calendar_month.n.01 to public public.a.01 preaching sermon.n.01 and from 20 twenty.s.01 to 25 twenty-five.s.01 hours hour.n.01 per month calendar_month.n.01 to church church.n.01 activities activity.n.01 . The appeal board appeal_board.n.01 furnished supply.v.01 petitioner petitioner.n.01 a copy transcript.n.02 of the recommendation recommendation.n.01 . In his answer answer.n.01 thereto thereto.r.01 , he advised advise.v.02 the Board board.n.01 that he had made make.v.01 no such such.s.01 statement statement.n.01 in 1956 , and asserted affirm.v.02 that his only alone.s.03 claim claim.n.02 to `` pioneering '' was be.v.05 in 1952 . The appeal board appeal_board.n.01 , however however.r.01 , unanimously unanimously.r.01 concurred agree.v.01 in the Department NE 's recommendation recommendation.n.01 . Upon return restitution.n.03 of the file file.n.01 to the local local.a.03 board board.n.01 , petitioner petitioner.n.01 was again again.r.01 ordered order.v.01 to report report.v.03 for induction initiation.n.01 and this prosecution prosecution.n.01 followed follow.v.06 his failure failure.n.05 to do make.v.01 so . Petitioner petitioner.n.01 first first.a.01 contends contend.v.01 that the Department NE denied deny.v.03 him procedural procedural.a.01 due process due_process.n.01 by not not.r.01 giving give.v.01 him timely timely.s.01 opportunity opportunity.n.01 , before its final final.s.02 recommendation recommendation.n.01 to the appeal board appeal_board.n.01 , to answer answer.v.05 the statement statement.n.01 of the local local.a.03 board board.n.01 as to his claim claim.n.02 of devoting give.v.18 100 hundred.s.01 hours hour.n.01 to actual actual.s.03 preaching sermon.n.01 . But the statement statement.n.01 of the local local.a.03 board board.n.01 attributing impute.v.01 this claim claim.n.02 to petitioner petitioner.n.01 was be.v.03 in his file file.n.01 . He admitted admit.v.01 that he knew know.v.01 it was be.v.01 open open.s.06 to him at all all.a.01 times time.n.02 , and he could have rebutted refute.v.01 it before the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 . This he failed fail.v.01 to do make.v.01 , asserting assert.v.01 that he did not not.r.01 know know.v.01 it to be be.v.03 in his file file.n.01 . Apparently apparently.r.01 he never never.r.01 took take.v.01 the trouble trouble.n.04 to find out determine.v.01 . After the recommendation recommendation.n.01 of the Department NE is forwarded forward.v.01 to the appeal board appeal_board.n.01 , that is be.v.01 the appropriate appropriate.a.01 place place.n.13 for a registrant registrant.n.01 to lodge charge.v.06 his denial denial.n.02 . This he did make.v.01 . We found rule.v.04 in Gonzales v. United States NE , supra above.r.01 , that this was be.v.02 the controlling control.v.01 reason reason.n.01 why copies transcript.n.02 of the recommendation recommendation.n.01 should be furnished supply.v.01 a registrant registrant.n.01 . We said state.v.01 there there.r.01 that it was be.v.01 necessary necessary.a.01 `` that a registrant registrant.n.01 be given give.v.01 an opportunity opportunity.n.01 to rebut refute.v.01 [ the Department NE 's ] recommendation recommendation.n.01 when it comes arrive.v.01 to the Appeal Board NE , the agency agency.n.01 with the ultimate ultimate.a.01 responsibility duty.n.01 for classification categorization.n.03 '' . 348 U.

We fail fail.v.05 to see understand.v.02 how such such.s.01 procedure procedure.n.01 resulted leave.v.07 in any prejudice bias.n.01 to petitioner petitioner.n.01 's contention contention.n.01 , which was considered study.v.03 by the appeal appeal.n.03 board board.n.01 and denied deny.v.03 by it . As was said state.v.01 in Gonzales NE , `` it is be.v.02 the Appeal Board NE which renders render.v.05 the selective service selective_service.n.01 determination decision.n.02 considered see.v.05 ' final final.s.03 ' in the courts court.n.01 , not not.r.01 to be overturned overrule.v.01 unless there is no basis basis.n.02 in fact fact.n.03 . Estep v. United States NE , 327 U. S. 114 '' . 348 U. S. , at 412 - 413 . At his trial trial.n.06 , petitioner petitioner.n.01 sought try.v.01 to secure procure.v.01 through subpoena duces tecum subpoena_duces_tecum.n.01 the longhand longhand.s.01 notes note.n.01 of the Department NE 's hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 , Evensen NE , as well besides.r.02 as his report report.n.01 thereon thereon.r.01 . Petitioner petitioner.n.01 also besides.r.02 claimed claim.v.02 at trial trial.n.06 the right right.n.01 to inspect inspect.v.01 the original original.s.01 Federal Bureau of Investigation NE reports report.n.01 to the Department of Justice NE . He alleged allege.v.01 no specific specific.s.02 procedural procedural.a.01 errors mistake.n.01 or evidence evidence.n.03 withheld withhold.v.01 ; nor did he elaborate elaborate.v.01 just precisely.r.01 what favorable favorable.s.05 evidence evidence.n.03 the Federal Bureau of Investigation NE reports report.n.01 might disclose unwrap.v.02 . Section section.n.01 6 ( j ) of the Act NE , as we have held deem.v.01 , does require necessitate.v.01 the Department NE 's recommendation recommendation.n.01 to be placed put.v.01 in a registrant registrant.n.01 's file file.v.01 . Gonzales v. United States NE , supra above.r.01 . But there is nothing nothing.n.01 in the Act NE requiring necessitate.v.01 the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 's report report.n.01 to be likewise similarly.r.01 turned over pass.v.05 to the registrant registrant.n.01 . While the regulations regulation.n.01 formerly once.r.03 required necessitate.v.01 that the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 's report report.n.01 be placed put.v.01 in the registrant registrant.n.01 's file file.v.01 , this requirement requirement.n.01 was eliminated extinguish.v.04 in 1952 . Moreover furthermore.r.01 , the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 's report report.n.01 is be.v.01 but intradepartmental intradepartmental.a.01 , is directed target.v.01 to the Attorney General NE and , of course naturally.r.01 , is be.v.02 not not.r.01 the recommendation recommendation.n.01 of the Department NE . It is be.v.01 not not.r.01 essentially basically.r.01 different different.a.01 from a memorandum memo.n.01 of an attorney lawyer.n.01 in the Department of Justice NE , of which the Attorney General NE receives receive.v.01 many many.a.01 , and to which he may give grant.v.05 his approval blessing.n.01 or rejection rejection.n.01 . It is be.v.01 also besides.r.02 significant significant.a.01 that neither this report report.n.01 nor the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 's notes note.n.01 were furnished supply.v.01 to the appeal appeal.n.03 board board.n.01 . Hence therefore.r.01 the petitioner petitioner.n.01 had have.v.01 full full.s.06 opportunity opportunity.n.01 to traverse traverse.v.03 the only alone.s.03 conclusions decision.n.02 of the Department NE on file file.n.01 with the Board NE . Petitioner petitioner.n.01 knew know.v.01 that the Department NE 's recommendation recommendation.n.01 was based establish.v.08 not not.r.01 on the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 's report report.n.01 but on the statement statement.n.01 of the local local.a.03 board board.n.01 in his file file.n.01 . Having had have.v.01 every opportunity opportunity.n.01 to rebut refute.v.01 the finding finding.n.02 of the local local.a.03 board board.n.01 before both the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 and the appeal appeal.n.03 board board.n.01 , petitioner petitioner.n.01 cannot now nowadays.r.01 claim claim.v.01 that he was denied deny.v.03 due process due_process.n.01 because he did not not.r.01 succeed succeed.v.01 . It appears look.v.02 to us that the same same.a.02 reasoning reasoning.n.01 applies apply.v.02 to the production production.n.04 of the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 's report report.n.01 and notes note.n.01 at the trial trial.n.06 . In addition in_addition.r.00 , petitioner petitioner.n.01 has failed fail.v.01 to show prove.v.02 any particular particular.s.01 need need.n.02 for the report report.n.01 and notes note.n.01 . While there are exist.v.01 now now.r.01 allegations allegation.n.02 of the withholding withholding.n.03 of `` favorable favorable.s.05 evidence evidence.n.03 developed develop.v.21 at the hearing hearing.n.01 '' and a denial denial.n.01 of a `` full full.s.03 and fair fair.a.1;0 hearing hearing.n.01 '' , no such such.s.01 claim claim.n.02 was made make.v.01 by petitioner petitioner.n.01 at any stage degree.n.02 of the administrative administrative.a.01 process procedure.n.01 . Moreover furthermore.r.01 , his testimony testimony.n.01 at trial trial.n.06 never never.r.01 developed develop.v.21 any such such.s.01 facts fact.n.01 . In the light light.n.03 of these circumstances circumstance.n.03 , as well besides.r.02 as the fact fact.n.01 that the issue issue.n.01 at trial trial.n.06 in this respect respect.n.01 centered focus_on.v.01 entirely entirely.r.02 on the Department NE 's recommendation recommendation.n.01 , which petitioner petitioner.n.01 repudiated repudiate.v.02 but which both the appeal appeal.n.03 board board.n.01 and the courts court.n.01 below found rule.v.04 supported support.v.7;5 by the record record.n.01 , we find determine.v.01 no relevancy relevance.n.01 in the hearing officer hearing_examiner.n.01 's report report.n.01 and notes note.n.01 . He did receive receive.v.01 a resume sketch.n.03 of it - the same same.a.01 that was furnished supply.v.01 the appeal appeal.n.03 board board.n.01 - and he made make.v.01 no claim claim.n.02 of its inaccuracy inaccuracy.n.01 . Even even.r.01 now now.r.01 no such such.s.01 claim claim.n.02 is asserted affirm.v.02 . He bases establish.v.08 his present present.a.01 contention contention.n.01 on the general general.a.01 right right.n.01 to explore research.v.02 , indicating bespeak.v.01 that he hopes hope.v.01 to find find.v.4;1 some discrepancy discrepancy.n.01 in the resume sketch.n.03 . But this is fully amply.r.02 answered answer.v.01 by United States v. Nugent NE , supra above.r.01 .

The recommendation recommendation.n.01 of the Department NE - as well besides.r.02 as the decision decision.n.02 of the appeal appeal.n.03 board board.n.01 - was based establish.v.08 entirely entirely.r.02 on the local local.a.03 board board.n.01 file file.n.01 , not not.r.01 on an FBI NE report report.n.01 . With this enlarged exaggerated.s.02 role function.n.03 in mind mind.n.02 , I should like to make make.v.03 a few a_few.s.01 suggestions suggestion.n.02 : What we in the United States united_states_government.n.01 do make.v.01 or do not not.r.01 do make.v.01 will make cause.v.01 a very very.r.01 large large.s.02 difference deviation.n.01 in what happens happen.v.01 in the rest remainder.n.01 of the world world.n.02 . We cannot regard see.v.05 foreign policy foreign_policy.n.01 as something left over leftover.s.01 after defense policy defense_program.n.01 or trade policy trade_policy.n.01 or fiscal policy fiscal_policy.n.01 has been extracted extract.v.01 . Foreign policy foreign_policy.n.01 is be.v.02 the total entire.s.01 involvement engagement.n.07 of the American american.a.01 people citizenry.n.01 with peoples citizenry.n.01 and governments government.n.01 abroad abroad.s.01 . That means entail.v.01 that , if we are to achieve achieve.v.01 a new new.a.01 standard criterion.n.02 of leadership leadership.n.01 , we must think think.v.03 in terms of in_terms_of.s.00 the total entire.s.01 context context.n.02 of our situation situation.n.01 . It is be.v.01 the concern concern.n.01 of the Department of State department_of_state.n.01 that the American american.a.01 people citizenry.n.01 are be.v.01 safe safe.a.01 and secure secure.a.02 - defense defense.n.01 is be.v.02 not not.r.01 a monopoly monopoly.n.02 concern concern.n.01 of the Department of Defense department_of_defense.n.01 . It is be.v.01 also besides.r.02 the concern concern.n.01 of the Department of State department_of_state.n.01 that our trading trading.n.01 relationships relationship.n.03 with the rest remainder.n.01 of the world world.n.02 are be.v.01 vigorous vigorous.s.01 , profitable profitable.a.01 , and active active.s.08 - this is be.v.7;1 not not.r.01 just merely.r.01 a passing ephemeral.s.01 interest interest.n.01 or a matter topic.n.02 of concern concern.n.02 only entirely.r.02 to the Department of Commerce department_of_commerce.n.01 . We can no longer no_longer.r.01 rely on depend_on.v.03 interdepartmental interdepartmental.a.01 machinery machinery.n.02 `` somewhere somewhere.r.01 upstairs upstairs.r.01 '' to resolve decide.v.02 differences difference.n.01 between this and other other.a.01 departments department.n.01 .

I think think.v.01 we need need.v.03 to concern concern.v.02 ourselves also besides.r.02 with the timeliness seasonableness.n.01 of action action.n.01 . Unless we keep keep.v.01 our eyes eye.n.01 on the horizon horizon.n.02 ahead ahead.r.02 , we shall fail fail.v.01 to bring bring.v.01 ourselves on target target.n.01 with the present present.n.01 . The movement movement.n.03 of events event.n.01 is be.v.01 so so.r.01 fast fast.a.01 , the pace pace.n.03 so so.r.01 severe severe.s.01 , that an attempt attempt.n.01 to peer peer.v.01 into the future future.n.01 is be.v.01 essential all-important.s.01 if we are to think think.v.03 accurately accurately.r.01 about the present present.n.01 . If there is exist.v.01 anything which we can do make.v.01 in the executive branch executive_branch.n.01 of the Government government.n.01 to speed up accelerate.v.01 the processes procedure.n.01 by which we come to hit.v.09 decisions decision.n.02 on matters matter.n.01 on which we must act act.v.01 promptly promptly.r.02 , that in itself would be be.v.7;1 a major major.a.02 contribution contribution.n.01 to the conduct behavior.n.01 of our affairs personal_business.n.01 . Action action.n.01 taken take.v.01 today nowadays.r.01 is be.v.01 often frequently.r.01 far far.r.01 more more.r.01 valuable valuable.s.02 than action action.n.01 taken take.v.01 several several.s.01 months calendar_month.n.01 later subsequently.r.01 in response response.n.01 to a situation situation.n.01 then then.r.03 out of control control.n.01 . There will of course naturally.r.01 be be.v.05 times time.n.01 for delay delay.n.01 and inaction inaction.n.01 . What I am suggesting propose.v.01 is be.v.02 that when we delay delay.v.02 , or when we fail fail.v.01 to act act.v.01 , we do make.v.01 so so.r.03 intentionally intentionally.r.01 and not not.r.01 through inadvertence oversight.n.01 or through bureaucratic bureaucratic.a.01 or procedural procedural.a.01 difficulties difficulty.n.03 . I also besides.r.02 hope hope.v.02 that we can do make.v.01 something about reducing reduce.v.01 the infant mortality rate of ideas idea.n.01 - an affliction of all bureaucracies bureaucracy.n.01 . We want desire.v.01 to stimulate stimulate.v.03 ideas idea.n.01 from the bottom bottom.n.02 to the top top.n.01 of the Department department.n.01 . We want desire.v.01 to make make.v.02 sure certain.s.07 that our junior junior.a.01 colleagues colleague.n.01 realize understand.v.02 that ideas idea.n.01 are be.v.01 welcome welcome.a.01 , that initiative enterprise.n.03 goes descend.v.01 right right.r.03 down to the bottom bottom.n.02 and goes travel.v.01 all the way clear.r.01 to the top top.n.01 . The responsibility duty.n.01 for taking assume.v.03 the initiative first_step.n.01 in generating generate.v.01 ideas idea.n.01 is be.v.02 that of every officer officeholder.n.01 in the Department department.n.01 who has have.v.01 a policy policy.n.02 function function.n.03 , regardless regardless.r.01 of rank rank.n.02 . Further further.r.02 , I would hope hope.v.01 that we could pay attention pay_attention.v.00 to little little.s.08 things matter.n.01 . While observing observe.v.04 the operations operation.n.11 of our Government government.n.01 in various diverse.s.02 parts region.n.01 of the world earth.n.01 , I have felt find.v.05 that in many many.a.01 situations situation.n.01 where our policies policy.n.02 were be.v.01 good good.a.01 we have tended tend.v.01 to ignore dismiss.v.01 minor minor.a.01 problems trouble.n.01 which spoiled botch.v.01 our main chief.s.01 effort attempt.n.01 . To cite mention.v.01 only merely.r.01 a few a_few.s.01 examples example.n.01 : The wrong improper.s.03 man man.n.03 in the wrong improper.s.03 position position.n.06 , perhaps possibly.r.01 even even.r.01 in a junior junior.a.01 position position.n.06 abroad abroad.s.01 , can be be.v.01 a source source.n.03 of great great.s.01 harm damage.n.01 to our policy policy.n.02 ; the attitudes attitude.n.01 of a U.N. united_nations.n.01 delegate delegate.n.01 who experiences experience.v.01 difficulty difficulty.n.02 in finding line_up.v.02 adequate adequate.s.03 housing housing.n.01 in New York City new_york.n.01 , or of a foreign foreign.a.01 diplomat diplomat.n.01 in similar similar.a.01 circumstances circumstance.n.01 in our Capital capital.n.03 , can be easily easily.r.01 be directed target.v.01 against the United States united_states.n.01 and all that it stands for typify.v.02 . Dozens tons.n.01 of seemingly apparently.r.01 small belittled.s.01 matters matter.n.01 go wrong fail.v.02 all over everywhere.r.01 the world earth.n.01 . Sometimes sometimes.r.01 those who know know.v.01 about them are be.v.03 too excessively.r.01 far far.a.01 down down.r.01 the line line.n.03 to be be.v.01 able able.a.01 to do make.v.01 anything about them . I would hope hope.v.01 that we could create make.v.03 the recognition recognition.n.01 in the Department department.n.01 and overseas abroad.s.01 that those who come across fall_upon.v.01 little little.s.08 things thing.n.01 going wrong fail.v.02 have have.v.01 the responsibility duty.n.01 for bringing bring.v.01 these to the attention care.n.01 of those who can do make.v.01 something about them . If the Department of State department_of_state.n.01 is to take assume.v.05 primary primary.a.01 responsibility duty.n.01 for foreign policy foreign_policy.n.01 in Washington capital.n.06 , it follows follow.v.03 that the ambassador ambassador.n.01 is expected ask.v.04 to take charge take_hold.v.01 overseas overseas.r.02 . He is expected ask.v.04 to know know.v.01 about what is going on happen.v.01 among the representatives representative.n.01 of other other.a.01 agencies agency.n.01 who are stationed station.v.01 in his country country.n.02 . He is expected ask.v.04 to supervise oversee.v.01 , to encourage promote.v.01 , to direct direct.v.01 , to assist help.v.01 in any way manner.n.01 he can . If any official official.a.01 operation operation.n.03 abroad abroad.r.01 begins get_down.v.07 to go wrong fail.v.02 , we shall look to anticipate.v.05 the ambassador ambassador.n.01 to find out determine.v.01 why and to get get.v.01 suggestions suggestion.n.01 for remedial remedial.s.01 action action.n.01 . It occurred occur.v.02 to me that you might be be.v.01 interested interested.a.01 in some thoughts idea.n.01 which I expressed express.v.02 privately privately.r.01 in recent recent.s.01 years year.n.01 , in the hope hope.n.01 of clearing up clarify.v.01 a certain certain.s.01 confusion confusion.n.02 in the public public.s.02 mind mind.n.01 about what foreign policy foreign_policy.n.01 is be.v.01 all about and what it means mean.v.03 , and of developing develop.v.01 a certain certain.s.01 compassion compassion.n.01 for those who are carrying carry.v.05 such such.s.01 responsibilities duty.n.01 inside Government government.n.01 . I tried try.v.01 to do make.v.01 so so.r.03 by calling name.v.01 to their attention attention.n.05 some of the problems trouble.n.01 that a senior senior.a.01 departmental departmental.a.01 policy policy.n.02 officer officeholder.n.01 faces confront.v.02 .

These expenditures outgo.n.01 are estimated estimate.v.01 to be equal.v.01 $ 12.1 billion billion.n.01 , an increase addition.n.03 of $ 187 million million.n.01 over 1960 , reflecting reflect.v.01 additional extra.s.03 longevity longevity.n.01 pay wage.n.01 of career career.n.01 personnel force.n.04 , more more.a.02 dependents dependant.n.01 , an increased increased.a.01 number number.n.01 of men work_force.n.01 drawing reap.v.02 proficiency proficiency.n.01 pay wage.n.01 , and social security social_security.n.01 tax tax.n.01 increases increase.n.02 ( effective effective.s.04 for the full entire.s.01 year year.n.01 in 1961 compared compare.v.03 with only merely.r.01 6 six.s.01 months month.n.02 in 1960 ) . Retired retired.s.01 pay wage.n.01 costs cost.n.01 are increased increase.v.01 by $ 94 million million.s.01 in 1961 over 1960 , partly partially.r.01 because of a substantial significant.s.02 increase increase.n.02 in the number number.n.01 of retired retired.s.01 personnel force.n.04 . Traditionally traditionally.r.01 , rates of pay pay_rate.n.01 for retired retired.s.01 military personnel serviceman.n.01 have been be.v.01 proportionate proportionate.a.01 to current current.a.01 rates of pay pay_rate.n.01 for active active.s.02 personnel force.n.04 . The 1958 military military.a.01 pay wage.n.01 act act.n.01 departed deviate.v.02 from this established established.a.01 formula formula.n.03 by providing for provide_for.v.00 a 6 six.s.01 % increase increase.n.02 rather rather.r.01 than a proportionate proportionate.a.01 increase increase.n.02 for everyone retired retired.s.01 prior anterior.s.02 to its effective effective.s.04 date date.n.01 of June june.n.01 1 one.s.01 , 1958 . I endorse back.v.01 pending pending.s.01 legislation legislation.n.01 that will restore restore.v.01 the traditional traditional.a.01 relationship relationship.n.01 between retired retired.s.01 and active active.s.02 duty duty.n.02 pay rates pay_rate.n.01 . - Expenditures outgo.n.01 for operating operate.v.03 and maintaining keep.v.01 the stations station.n.01 and equipment equipment.n.01 of the Armed Forces military.n.01 are estimated estimate.v.01 to be equal.v.01 $ 10.3 billion billion.s.01 in 1961 , which is be.v.01 $ 184 million million.s.01 more more.a.01 than in 1960 . The increase increase.n.02 stems stem.v.01 largely largely.r.01 from the growing grow.v.02 complexity complexity.n.01 of and higher higher.s.01 degree degree.n.01 of maintenance care.n.06 required needed.s.01 for newer new.a.01 weapons weapon.n.01 and equipment equipment.n.01 . A substantial significant.s.02 increase increase.n.02 is estimated estimate.v.01 in the cost cost.n.01 of operating operate.v.01 additional extra.s.03 communications systems communication_system.n.01 in the air air.a.00 defense program defense_program.n.01 , as well besides.r.02 as in all all.a.01 programs plan.n.01 where speed speed.n.01 and security security.n.01 of communications communication.n.02 are be.v.01 essential all-important.s.01 . Also besides.r.02 , the program plan.n.01 for fleet fleet.n.01 modernization modernization.n.01 will be stepped up rev_up.v.01 in 1961 causing induce.v.02 an increase increase.n.02 in expenditures outgo.n.01 . Further further.s.01 increases increase.n.02 arise originate.v.01 from the civilian civilian.a.01 employee employee.n.01 health health.n.01 program plan.n.01 enacted ordain.v.01 by the Congress congress.n.01 last last.s.01 year year.n.01 .

In 1961 , these expenditures outgo.n.01 are estimated estimate.v.01 at $ 18.9 billion billion.s.01 , compared compare.v.01 to $ 19.3 billion billion.s.01 in 1960 . Expenditures outgo.n.01 for shipbuilding shipbuilding.n.01 are estimated estimate.v.01 at about approximately.r.01 the same same.a.02 level degree.n.01 as in 1960 . New new.a.01 obligational obligational.a.01 authority authority.n.01 for 1961 recommended recommend.v.01 in this budget budget.n.02 for aircraft aircraft.n.01 procurement procurement.n.01 ( excluding exclude.v.01 amounts sum.n.01 for related related.a.01 research research.n.01 and construction construction.n.01 ) totals total.v.01 $ 4753 million million.s.01 , which is be.v.01 $ 1390 million million.s.01 below that enacted ordain.v.01 for 1960 . On the other hand on_the_other_hand.r.01 , the new new.a.01 authority authority.n.01 of $ 3825 million million.s.01 proposed propose.v.01 for missile missile.n.01 procurement procurement.n.01 ( excluding exclude.v.01 research research.n.01 and construction construction.n.01 ) in 1961 is be.v.01 $ 581 million million.s.01 higher high.a.01 than for 1960 . These contrasting contrast.v.02 trends tendency.n.04 in procurement procurement.n.01 reflect reflect.v.01 the anticipated anticipated.s.01 changes change.n.01 in the composition constitution.n.04 and missions mission.n.02 of our Armed Forces military.n.01 in the years year.n.01 ahead ahead.r.02 . The Department of Defense department_of_defense.n.01 appropriation appropriation.n.01 acts act.n.01 for the past past.a.01 several several.s.01 years year.n.01 have contained incorporate.v.02 a rider rider.n.02 which limits restrict.v.03 competitive competitive.a.01 bidding offer.v.07 by firms firm.n.01 in other other.a.01 countries state.n.04 on certain certain.s.01 military military.a.02 supply supply.n.01 items item.n.03 . As I have repeatedly repeatedly.r.01 stated state.v.01 , this provision provision.n.01 is be.v.01 much much.r.01 more more.r.01 restrictive restrictive.s.02 than the general general.a.01 law law.n.01 , popularly popularly.r.01 known as known_as.s.00 the Buy buy.v.01 American american.a.01 Act act.n.01 . I urge recommend.v.01 once again again.r.01 that the Congress congress.n.01 not not.r.01 reenact reenact.v.02 this rider rider.n.02 . The task undertaking.n.01 of providing provide.v.02 a reasonable reasonable.a.01 level degree.n.01 of military military.a.01 strength strength.n.01 , without endangering queer.v.02 other other.a.01 vital critical.s.04 aspects aspect.n.01 of our security security.n.01 , is greatly greatly.r.01 complicated complicate.v.01 by the swift fleet.s.01 pace pace.n.03 of scientific scientific.a.01 progress advancement.n.03 . The last last.s.01 few few.a.01 years year.n.01 have witnessed witness.v.01 what have been be.v.01 perhaps possibly.r.01 the most most.r.01 rapid rapid.s.01 advances improvement.n.01 in military military.a.02 technology technology.n.01 in history history.n.04 . Furthermore furthermore.r.01 , unexpectedly by_chance.r.03 rapid rapid.s.01 progress advancement.n.03 or a technological technical.a.03 break-through breakthrough.n.02 on any one matchless.s.01 weapon system weapon.n.01 , in itself , often frequently.r.01 diminishes decrease.v.01 the relative relative.a.01 importance importance.n.01 of other other.a.01 competitive competitive.a.01 systems system.n.01 . This has necessitated necessitate.v.01 a continuous continuous.a.01 review reappraisal.n.01 and reevaluation reevaluation.n.01 of the defense program defense_program.n.01 in order to redirect redirect.v.01 resources resource.n.01 to the newer new.a.01 and more more.r.01 important important.a.01 weapons systems weaponry.n.01 and to eliminate extinguish.v.04 or reduce reduce.v.01 effort effort.n.02 on weapons systems weaponry.n.01 which have been overtaken pass.v.07 by events event.n.01 . Thus thus.r.02 , in the last last.s.01 few few.a.01 years year.n.01 , a number number.n.01 of programs plan.n.01 which looked look.v.02 very very.r.01 promising promising.s.01 at the time time.n.04 their development development.n.01 was commenced start.v.06 have since been completely wholly.r.01 eliminated extinguish.v.04 . For example for_example.r.01 , the importance importance.n.01 of the Regulus 2 NE , , a very very.r.01 promising promising.s.01 aerodynamic aerodynamic.a.01 ship ship.n.01 to surface surface.n.03 missile missile.n.01 designed design.v.02 to be launched launch.v.02 by surfaced surface.v.01 submarines submarine.n.01 , was greatly greatly.r.01 diminished decrease.v.01 by the successful successful.a.01 acceleration acceleration.n.02 of the much much.r.01 more more.r.01 advanced advanced.s.03 Polaris NE ballistic missile ballistic_missile.n.01 launched launch.v.02 by submerged submerge.v.01 submarines submarine.n.01 . Another example example.n.01 is be.v.02 the recent late.s.03 cancellation cancellation.n.01 of the F-108 NE , a long long.a.02 range range.n.02 interceptor interceptor.n.01 with a speed speed.n.01 three times threefold.r.01 as great great.s.01 as the speed speed.n.01 of sound sound.n.03 , which was designed design.v.02 for use use.n.01 against manned manned.a.01 bombers bomber.n.01 in the period time_period.n.01 of the mid mid.s.01 1960 's . The substantial significant.s.02 progress advancement.n.03 being made make.v.01 in ballistic missile ballistic_missile.n.01 technology technology.n.01 is rapidly quickly.r.01 shifting switch.v.04 the main chief.s.01 threat menace.n.01 from manned manned.a.01 bombers bomber.n.01 to missiles missile.n.01 . Considering the high high.a.01 cost cost.n.01 of the F-108 NE system system.n.01 - over $ 4 four.s.01 billion billion.s.01 for the force force.n.03 that had been planned plan.v.02 - and the time period time_period.n.01 in which it would become become.v.01 operational functional.s.04 , it was decided decide.v.01 to stop discontinue.v.01 further further.s.01 work work.n.01 on the project undertaking.n.01 . Meanwhile meanwhile.r.01 , other other.a.01 air defense air_defense.n.01 forces force.n.04 are being made make.v.02 effective effective.s.02 , as described report.v.01 later subsequently.r.01 in this message message.n.01 . The size size.n.01 and scope scope.n.01 of other other.a.01 important important.a.01 programs plan.n.01 have been reduced reduce.v.01 from earlier early.a.01 plans plan.n.01 . The impact impact.n.02 of technological technical.a.03 factors factor.n.01 is also besides.r.02 illustrated exemplify.v.02 by the history history.n.02 of the high high.a.01 energy energy.n.01 fuel fuel.n.01 program plan.n.01 . This project undertaking.n.01 was started start.v.06 at a time time.n.03 when there was exist.v.01 a critical critical.a.06 need need.n.01 for a high high.a.01 energy energy.n.01 fuel fuel.n.01 to provide provide.v.02 an extra extra.s.03 margin margin.n.02 of range range.n.02 for high high.a.01 performance operation.n.08 aircraft aircraft.n.01 , particularly particularly.r.01 our heavy heavy.a.01 bombers bomber.n.01 .

We speculate speculate.v.01 that compulsives compulsive.n.01 in the unstructured unstructured.a.01 schools school.n.01 are be.v.01 under greater greater.a.01 strain stress.n.04 because of the lack lack.n.01 of systemization systematization.n.01 in their school school.n.01 setting setting.n.01 , but that their need need.n.01 to organize organize.v.02 ( for comfort comfort.n.02 ) is be.v.01 so so.r.01 intense intense.a.01 that they struggle fight.v.03 to induce induce.v.04 the phonic phonic.a.01 rules principle.n.01 and achieve achieve.v.01 in spite of the lack lack.n.01 of direction guidance.n.01 from the environment environment.n.01 . It is interesting interesting.a.01 to note notice.v.02 that medium average.s.04 compulsives compulsive.n.01 in the unstructured unstructured.a.01 schools school.n.01 made have.v.17 the lowest low.a.01 achievement accomplishment.n.01 scores mark.n.01 ( although not not.r.01 significantly significantly.r.01 lower low.a.01 ) . Possibly possibly.r.01 their compulsivity compulsiveness.n.01 was be.v.01 not not.r.01 strong strong.a.01 enough enough.r.01 to cause induce.v.02 them to build construct.v.01 their own own.s.01 structure structure.n.03 . Our conjecture speculation.n.02 is be.v.02 , then , that regardless regardless.r.01 of the manner manner.n.01 in which school school.n.01 lessons lesson.n.01 are taught teach.v.01 , the compulsive compulsive.s.01 child child.n.01 accentuates stress.v.02 those elements component.n.01 of each lesson lesson.n.01 that aid help.v.01 him in systematizing systematize.v.01 his work work.n.01 . When helped help.v.01 by a high high.a.01 degree degree.n.01 of structure structure.n.03 in lesson lesson.n.01 presentation presentation.n.01 , then then.r.03 , and only entirely.r.02 then then.r.03 , does such such.s.01 a child child.n.01 attain achieve.v.01 unusual unusual.a.01 success success.n.02 .

In a course course.n.01 for supermarket supermarket.n.01 operators operator.n.03 , a district manager district_manager.n.01 who had been recently recently.r.01 appointed appoint.v.02 to his position position.n.06 after being be.v.01 outstandingly outstandingly.r.01 successful successful.a.01 as a store shop.n.01 manager director.n.01 , found detect.v.01 that in supervising oversee.v.01 other other.a.01 managers director.n.01 he was having experience.v.03 a difficult difficult.a.01 time time.n.06 .

However however.r.01 , in this case case.n.2;1 the district manager district_manager.n.01 was led lead.v.05 to see understand.v.02 the errors error.n.1;2 of his ways way.n.10 . The necessary necessary.a.01 step measure.n.01 between diagnosis diagnosis.n.01 and training training.n.01 is be.v.02 acceptance credence.n.01 of the validity cogency.n.02 of the criticisms criticism.n.02 . How this was accomplished achieve.v.01 may be described describe.v.01 , since this sometimes sometimes.r.01 is be.v.01 a crucial crucial.s.02 problem problem.n.02 . The director director.n.01 helped help.v.01 tailor-make sew.v.02 a check list checklist.n.01 of the district manager district_manager.n.01 's errors mistake.n.01 by asking ask.v.02 various respective.s.01 observers observer.n.02 to write out write_out.v.01 sentences sentence.n.01 commenting comment.v.01 on the mistakes mistake.n.01 they felt find.v.05 he made make.v.01 . These errors mistake.n.01 were then then.r.01 collected collect.v.02 and written write.v.07 on a blackboard blackboard.n.01 , condensing digest.v.07 similar similar.a.01 ideas idea.n.01 . Eighteen eighteen.s.01 errors mistake.n.01 were located locate.v.01 , and then then.r.01 the director director.n.01 asked ask.v.02 each individual person.n.01 to vote vote.v.02 whether or not not.r.01 they felt find.v.05 that this manager director.n.01 had made make.v.01 the particular particular.s.02 errors mistake.n.01 . They were asked ask.v.02 to vote vote.v.02 `` true true.a.01 '' if they thought think.v.01 they had seen witness.v.02 him make make.v.01 the error mistake.n.01 , `` false false.a.01 '' if they thought think.v.01 he had not not.r.01 ; and `` cannot say allege.v.01 '' if they were be.v.01 not not.r.01 certain certain.a.02 . No comments remark.n.01 were made during the voting vote.n.01 . The results result.n.03 looked look.v.02 as follows as_follows.r.01 : * * f . The first first.a.01 eight eight.s.01 of these eighteen eighteen.s.01 statements statement.n.01 , which received receive.v.01 at least at_least.r.02 one-half one-half.n.01 of the votes vote.n.01 , were duplicated duplicate.v.01 to form form.v.02 an analysis analysis.n.01 checklist checklist.n.01 for the particular particular.s.06 manager director.n.01 , and when this particular particular.s.06 manager director.n.01 roleplayed act.v.10 in other other.a.01 situations situation.n.02 , the members member.n.01 checked check.v.06 any items item.n.01 that appeared appear.v.02 .

Particularly particularly.r.01 hard difficult.a.01 for the therapist therapist.n.01 to grasp grok.v.01 are be.v.01 those instances case.n.01 in which the patient patient.n.01 is manifesting attest.v.01 an introject introject.n.01 traceable traceable.s.01 to something in the therapist therapist.n.01 , some some.s.04 aspect aspect.n.02 of the therapist therapist.n.01 of which the latter latter.a.01 is be.v.01 himself only only.r.03 poorly ill.r.01 aware aware.a.01 , and the recognition recognition.n.01 of which , as a part part.n.01 of himself , he finds rule.v.04 distinctly distinctly.r.01 unwelcome unwelcome.a.01 .

For example for_example.r.01 , one matchless.s.01 hebephrenic hebephrenic.s.01 man man.n.01 used to annoy annoy.v.01 me , month calendar_month.n.01 after month calendar_month.n.01 , by saying state.v.01 , whenever I got up arise.v.03 to leave leave.v.01 and made my fairly reasonably.r.01 steoreotyped stereotyped.s.01 comment remark.n.01 that I would be seeing meet.v.01 him on the following following.s.02 day day.n.01 , or whenever , `` You 're welcome '' , in a notably notably.r.01 condescending arch.s.01 fashion manner.n.01 - as though it were be.v.01 his due due.n.01 for me to thank thank.v.01 him for the privilege privilege.n.01 of spending spend.v.01 the hour hour.n.01 with him , and he were thus thus.r.02 pointing up point_up.v.01 my failure failure.n.01 to utter express.v.02 a humbly humbly.r.01 grateful grateful.a.01 , `` thank you thank_you.n.01 '' to him at the end end.n.3;5 of each session session.n.01 .

For this step measure.n.01 the computer computer.n.01 memory memory.n.04 is separated divide.v.01 into three three.s.01 regions region.n.01 : cells cell.n.01 in the W region NE are used use.v.01 for storage storage.n.01 of the forms form.n.01 in the text text.n.01 form form.n.01 list list.n.01 ; cells cell.n.01 in the X-region NE and Y region NE are reserved reserve.v.04 as information information.n.01 cells cell.n.01 for text text.n.01 forms form.n.01 . When an occurrence happening.n.01 * * f is isolated sequester.v.05 during text text.n.01 reading reading.n.01 , a random memory random-access_memory.n.01 address address.n.01 * * f , the address address.n.01 of a cell cell.n.01 in the X-region NE , is computed calculate.v.01 from the form form.n.01 of * * f . Let * * f denote denote.v.02 the form form.n.01 of * * f . If cell cell.n.01 * * f has not not.r.01 previously previously.r.01 been assigned assign.v.02 as the information information.n.01 cell cell.n.01 of a form form.n.01 in the text text.n.01 form form.n.01 list list.n.01 , it is now now.r.01 assigned assign.v.02 as the information information.n.01 cell cell.n.01 of * * f . The form form.n.01 itself is stored store.v.01 in the next following.s.02 available available.a.01 cells cell.n.01 of the W-region NE , beginning begin.v.02 in cell cell.n.01 * * f . The address address.n.01 * * f and the number number.n.01 of cells cell.n.01 required necessitate.v.01 to store store.v.01 the form form.n.01 are written write.v.08 in * * f ; the information information.n.01 cell cell.n.01 * * f is saved save.v.02 to represent represent.v.01 the text text.n.01 occurrence happening.n.01 . Text text.n.01 reading reading.n.01 continues continue.v.01 with the next following.s.02 occurrence happening.n.01 . Let us assume assume.v.01 that * * f is be.v.01 identical identical.s.01 to the form form.n.01 of an occurrence happening.n.01 * * f which preceded precede.v.02 * * f in the text text.n.01 . If * * f was assigned assign.v.02 as the information information.n.01 cell cell.n.01 for * * f , the routine routine.n.03 can detect detect.v.01 that * * f is be.v.01 identical identical.s.01 to * * f by comparing compare.v.01 * * f with the form form.n.01 stored store.v.01 at location location.n.01 * * f . The address address.n.01 * * f is stored store.v.01 in the cell cell.n.01 * * f . When , as in this case case.n.01 , the two two.s.01 forms form.n.01 match match.v.01 , the address address.n.01 * * f is saved save.v.02 to represent represent.v.01 the occurrence happening.n.01 * * f . Text text.n.01 reading reading.n.01 continues continue.v.01 with the next following.s.02 occurrence happening.n.01 . A third third.s.01 situation situation.n.01 is be.v.01 possible possible.a.01 . The formula recipe.n.01 for computing calculate.v.01 random random-access_memory.n.01 addresses address.n.01 from the form form.n.01 of each occurrence happening.n.01 will not not.r.01 give yield.v.01 a distinct distinct.s.01 address address.n.01 for each distinct distinct.s.01 form form.n.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 , when more than more_than.r.00 one one.s.01 distinct distinct.s.01 form form.n.01 leads go.v.25 to a particular particular.s.02 cell cell.n.01 in the X-region NE , a chain chain.n.01 of information information.n.01 cells cell.n.01 must be created make.v.03 to accommodate suit.v.01 the forms form.n.01 , one one.s.01 cell cell.n.01 in the chain chain.n.01 for each form form.n.01 . If * * f leads go.v.25 to an address address.n.01 * * f that is be.v.01 equal equal.a.01 to the address address.n.01 computed calculate.v.01 from * * f , even even.r.02 though though.r.01 * * f does not not.r.01 match match.v.01 * * f , the chain chain.n.01 of information information.n.01 cells cell.n.01 is extended run.v.03 from * * f by storing store.v.01 the address address.n.01 of the next following.s.02 available available.a.01 cell cell.n.01 in the Y-region NE , * * f , in * * f . The cell cell.n.01 * * f becomes become.v.02 the second second.s.01 information information.n.01 cell cell.n.01 in the chain chain.n.01 and is assigned assign.v.02 as the information information.n.01 cell cell.n.01 of * * f . Each information information.n.01 cell cell.n.01 in the chain chain.n.01 contains incorporate.v.02 the address address.n.01 of the Y-cell NE where the form form.n.01 to which it is assigned assign.v.02 is stored store.v.01 . Each cell cell.n.01 except the last concluding.s.01 in the chain chain.n.01 also besides.r.02 contains incorporate.v.02 the address address.n.01 of the Y-cell NE that is be.v.02 the next following.s.02 element component.n.03 of the chain chain.n.01 ; the absence absence.n.01 of such such.s.01 a link link.n.01 in the last concluding.s.01 cell cell.n.01 indicates bespeak.v.01 the end end.n.01 of the chain chain.n.01 . Hence therefore.r.01 , when the address address.n.01 * * f is computed calculate.v.01 from * * f , the cell cell.n.01 * * f and all all.a.01 Y-cells NE in its chain chain.n.01 must be inspected inspect.v.01 to determine determine.v.01 whether * * f is be.v.03 already already.r.01 in the form form.n.01 list list.n.01 or whether it should be added add.v.01 to the form form.n.01 list list.n.01 and the chain chain.n.01 . When the information information.n.01 cell cell.n.01 for * * f has been determined determine.v.01 , it is saved save.v.02 as a representation representation.n.01 of * * f .

For example for_example.r.01 , the inflected inflected.s.00 forms form.n.01 of a word word.n.01 can be represented represent.v.01 , insofar insofar.r.01 as regular regular.s.03 inflection inflection.n.01 allows let.v.01 , by a stem root.n.03 and a set set.n.01 of endings ending.n.01 to be attached attach.v.01 . ( Indeed indeed.r.01 , the set set.n.01 of endings ending.n.01 can be replaced replace.v.01 by the name name.n.01 of a set set.n.01 of endings ending.n.01 . ) The full entire.s.01 forms form.n.01 can be derived derive.v.02 from such such.s.01 information information.n.01 just barely.r.01 prior anterior.s.02 to the lookup search.n.03 of the form form.n.01 in the text text.n.01 form form.n.01 list list.n.01 . The dictionary dictionary.n.01 system system.n.02 is be.v.01 in no way in_no_way.r.00 dependent dependent.s.02 upon such such.s.01 summarization summarization.n.01 or designed design.v.04 around it . When irregularity irregularity.n.02 and variation variation.n.02 prevent prevent.v.01 summarizing sum_up.v.01 , information information.n.01 is written write.v.08 in complete complete.a.01 detail detail.n.03 . Entries entry.n.01 are summarized sum_up.v.01 only when only.r.06 by doing make.v.01 so so.r.03 the amount amount.n.02 of information information.n.01 retained retain.v.01 in the dictionary dictionary.n.01 is reduced reduce.v.01 and the time time.n.02 required necessitate.v.01 for dictionary dictionary.n.01 operations operation.n.04 is decreased decrease.v.02 . In sentences sentence.n.01 , patterns form.n.03 of stress stress.n.01 are determined specify.v.02 by complex complex.a.01 combinations combination.n.01 of influences influence.n.03 that can only merely.r.01 be suggested hint.v.01 here here.r.02 . The tendency inclination.n.01 is be.v.01 toward putting put.v.04 dominant dominant.a.01 stress stress.n.01 at the end end.n.05 . There is a parallel analogue.n.01 to this tendency inclination.n.01 in the assignment assignment.n.03 of time meter.n.04 in long long.a.01 known known.a.01 hymn hymn.n.01 tunes tune.n.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 the first first.a.01 lines line.n.05 of one of Charles Wesley NE 's hymns hymn.n.01 are be.v.02 as follows as_follows.r.01 . `` A charge mission.n.03 to keep keep.v.01 I have have.v.01 , A God god.n.01 to glorify laud.v.01 '' . In the tune tune.n.01 to which this hymn hymn.n.01 is be.v.01 most most.r.02 often frequently.r.01 sung sing.v.1;2 , `` Boylston NE '' , the syllables syllable.n.01 have and fy , ending end.v.03 their lines line.n.05 , have have.v.01 twice doubly.r.01 the time time.n.02 any other other.a.01 syllables syllable.n.01 have have.v.01 . But the parallel analogue.n.01 is be.v.01 significant significant.a.01 . When the answer answer.n.01 to what 's be.v.01 wrong amiss.s.01 now now.r.01 ? is be.v.02 Bill NE 's broken break.v.05 a chair chair.n.01 , dominant dominant.a.01 stress stress.n.01 will usually normally.r.01 be be.v.05 on the complement complement.n.01 a chair chair.n.01 .

If only entirely.r.02 state state.s.00 funds funds.n.01 were used use.v.03 to pay pay.v.01 for the vocational vocational.a.01 education education.n.01 , it could be argued argue.v.01 that the state state.n.03 should not not.r.01 have to bear bear.v.06 the cost cost.n.01 of vocational vocational.a.01 training training.n.01 which would benefit benefit.v.02 employers employer.n.01 in other other.a.01 states state.n.01 .

Because of its importance importance.n.01 , and because the lack lack.n.01 of price competition price_war.n.01 is be.v.01 well well.r.02 recognized accepted.s.01 , the industry industry.n.01 is be.v.01 under considerable considerable.a.01 public populace.n.01 pressure pressure.n.02 not not.r.01 to raise raise.v.01 its price monetary_value.n.01 any any.s.01 more more.r.02 than could be justified justify.v.01 by cost cost.n.01 increases addition.n.03 .

For the industry industry.n.01 of this model model.n.01 , the effect consequence.n.01 of such such.s.01 public populace.n.01 pressures pressure.n.02 in the past past.n.01 has been be.v.01 to hold keep.v.01 the price monetary_value.n.01 well well.r.04 below the short-run short-run.s.01 profit net_income.n.01 maximizing maximize.v.01 price monetary_value.n.01 ( given given.s.01 the wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 and the level degree.n.01 of GNP gross_national_product.n.01 ) , and even below the entry introduction.n.01 limited limited.a.01 price monetary_value.n.01 ( but not not.r.01 below average cost average_cost.n.01 ) . For such such.s.01 an industry industry.n.01 , it is be.v.01 only entirely.r.02 `` safe safe.a.01 '' to raise raise.v.01 its price monetary_value.n.01 if such such.s.01 an increase addition.n.03 is manifestly obviously.r.01 `` justified justify.v.01 '' by rising rising.a.01 costs cost.n.01 ( due to due_to.s.00 rising rising.a.01 wages wage.n.01 , etc . ) . In this model model.n.01 , we abstract abstract.v.01 from all non non.s.00 wage wage.n.01 sources beginning.n.04 of cost cost.n.01 changes change.n.04 , so so.r.02 that the `` public public.s.02 limit limit.n.01 price monetary_value.n.01 '' only entirely.r.02 rises rise.v.02 as the wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 rises rise.v.02 .

Since marginal costs marginal_cost.n.01 rise rise.v.02 when the wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 rises rise.v.02 , the profit maximizing profit-maximizing.s.01 price monetary_value.n.01 also besides.r.02 rises rise.v.02 when the public public.s.02 limit limit.n.01 price monetary_value.n.01 is elevated raise.v.02 , and is be.v.01 likely likely.a.01 to remain stay.v.01 well well.r.04 above the latter latter.a.01 .

The union union.n.01 vigorously vigorously.r.01 demands demand.v.01 wage wage.n.01 increases addition.n.03 from productivity productiveness.n.01 increases addition.n.03 , and wage wage.n.01 increases addition.n.03 to offset offset.v.01 cost-of-living cost_of_living.n.01 increases addition.n.03 , but we abstract abstract.v.01 from these forces force.n.01 here here.r.02 . For our present present.a.01 purposes purpose.n.01 we assume assume.v.01 that the sole exclusive.s.01 subject subject.n.01 of bargaining bargaining.n.01 is be.v.02 the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 ( not not.r.01 including include.v.01 productivity productiveness.n.01 improvement improvement.n.01 factors factor.n.01 or cost-of-living cost_of_living.n.01 adjustments adjustment.n.01 ) , and it is be.v.02 this basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 which determines determine.v.03 the level degree.n.01 of costs cost.n.01 . Productivity productiveness.n.01 is be.v.01 something of an amorphous amorphous.s.01 concept concept.n.01 and the amount amount.n.02 of productivity productiveness.n.01 increase addition.n.03 in a given apt.s.01 time period time_period.n.01 is be.v.01 not not.r.01 even even.r.01 well known well_known.s.00 to the industry industry.n.01 , much less to the union union.n.01 or to the public populace.n.01 .

We assume assume.v.01 further further.r.01 that the union union.n.01 recognizes acknowledge.v.06 the possibility possibility.n.02 that price monetary_value.n.01 level degree.n.01 increases addition.n.03 may offset offset.v.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 increases addition.n.03 , and it does not not.r.01 entirely wholly.r.01 disregard ignore.v.01 the effect consequence.n.01 of price monetary_value.n.01 increases addition.n.03 arising originate.v.01 from its own own.s.01 wage wage.n.01 increases addition.n.03 upon the `` real real.a.01 '' wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 . For internal internal.a.01 political political.a.01 reasons reason.n.01 , the union union.n.01 asks ask.v.02 for ( and accepts accept.v.02 ) increases addition.n.03 in the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 , and would vigorously vigorously.r.01 oppose fight.v.02 a reduction decrease.n.04 in this rate rate.n.02 , but the adjustment adjustment.n.01 of the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 upwards up.r.01 is be.v.01 essentially basically.r.01 up to the discretion discretion.n.01 of the companies company.n.01 of the industry industry.n.01 . Changes change.n.02 in the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 are be.v.01 cost cost.n.01 raising raising.s.01 , and they constitute constitute.v.01 an argument argument.n.01 for raising raise.v.01 prices monetary_value.n.01 . However however.r.01 , it is be.v.01 not not.r.01 known known.a.01 to either the union union.n.01 or the public populace.n.01 precisely precisely.r.01 how much much.a.01 of a cost cost.n.01 increase addition.n.03 is caused cause.v.01 by a given apt.s.01 change change.n.02 in the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 , although the companies company.n.01 are presumed assume.v.01 to have have.v.01 reliable reliable.a.01 estimates estimate.n.01 of this magnitude magnitude.n.01 . In this model model.n.01 , then , the industry industry.n.01 is presumed assume.v.01 to realize recognize.v.02 that they could successfully successfully.r.01 resist defy.v.02 a change change.n.03 in the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 , but since such such.s.01 a change change.n.03 is be.v.01 the only alone.s.03 effective effective.s.03 means means.n.01 to raising raise.v.01 prices monetary_value.n.01 they may , in circumstances circumstance.n.01 to be spelled out spell_out.v.01 in Part part.n.01 2 two.s.01 , below below.r.03 , find determine.v.01 it to their advantage advantage.n.01 to allow permit.v.01 the wage wage.n.01 rise raise.n.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 , for non non.s.00 negative negative.a.01 changes change.n.02 in the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 , the industry industry.n.01 becomes become.v.02 the active active.a.03 wage setter wage_setter.n.01 , since any increase addition.n.03 in the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 can occur happen.v.01 only entirely.r.02 by reason reason.n.02 of industry industry.n.01 acquiescence acquiescence.n.01 . The presumption given.n.01 in the literature literature.n.03 would appear look.v.02 to be be.v.01 that the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 would be be.v.01 unchanged unchanged.a.01 in this case event.n.02 , on the grounds evidence.n.01 that it is be.v.01 `` clearly clearly.r.01 '' not not.r.01 in the interest sake.n.01 of the industry industry.n.01 to raise raise.v.01 wages wage.n.01 gratuitously gratuitously.r.01 . From this presumption given.n.01 it is be.v.01 an easy easy.a.01 step measure.n.01 to the conclusion decision.n.02 that any observed ascertained.s.01 increases addition.n.03 in the basic basic.a.01 wage wage.n.01 rate rate.n.02 must be due be_due.v.01 to union union.n.01 behavior behavior.n.01 different different.a.01 and more more.r.01 aggressive aggressive.a.01 than assumed assume.v.01 in our model model.n.01 . It is this conclusion decision.n.02 that we challenge challenge.v.01 ; we do so so.r.03 by disproving disprove.v.01 the presumption given.n.01 on which it is based establish.v.08 . In the century century.n.01 from 1815 to 1914 the law of nations international_law.n.01 became become.v.02 international law international_law.n.01 . Several several.s.01 factors factor.n.01 contributed contribute.v.03 to this change change.n.04 . The Congress of Vienna NE is be.v.01 a convenient convenient.a.01 starting point terminus_a_quo.n.01 because it both epitomized typify.v.01 and symbolized typify.v.02 what was to follow postdate.v.01 . Here here.r.02 in 1815 the great great.s.02 nations state.n.04 assembled meet.v.07 to legislate legislate.v.01 not not.r.01 merely merely.r.01 for Europe europe.n.01 , but for the world earth.n.01 . Thus therefore.r.01 the Congress NE marks mark.v.02 a formal formal.a.01 recognition recognition.n.01 of the political system political_system.n.01 that was be.v.01 central cardinal.s.01 to world earth.n.01 politics politics.n.01 for a century century.n.01 . International law international_law.n.01 had to fit suit.v.01 the conditions condition.n.01 of Europe europe.n.01 , and nothing that could not not.r.01 fit suit.v.01 this system system.n.04 , or the interests sake.n.01 of the great great.s.02 European nations european_country.n.01 collectively jointly.r.02 , could possibly possibly.r.01 emerge emerge.v.01 as law law.n.01 in any meaningful meaningful.a.01 sense sense.n.02 . Essentially basically.r.01 this imposed enforce.v.02 two two.s.01 conditions condition.n.02 : First first.r.01 , international law international_law.n.01 had to recognize acknowledge.v.06 and be be.v.01 compatible compatible.a.01 with an international international.a.01 political system political_system.n.01 in which a number number.n.01 of states state.n.04 were be.v.01 competitive competitive.a.01 , suspicious leery.s.01 , and opportunistic opportunist.s.01 in their political political.a.02 alignments alliance.n.03 with one another ; second second.r.01 , it had to be be.v.01 compatible compatible.a.01 with the value system ethic.n.01 that they shared share.v.01 . In both respects respect.n.01 , international law international_law.n.01 was Europeanized europeanize.v.01 . It was be.v.01 not not.r.01 always always.r.01 easy easy.a.01 to develop evolve.v.01 theory theory.n.01 and doctrine doctrine.n.01 which would square square.v.03 the two two.s.01 conditions condition.n.02 . But there was exist.v.01 no no.a.01 pressing pressing.s.01 need motivation.n.01 to maintain wield.v.01 these same same.a.01 standards criterion.n.02 with regard to regard_to.n.00 most of the rest remainder.n.01 of the world earth.n.01 .

Right right.r.02 now immediately.r.01 , however however.r.01 , he was still still.r.01 too excessively.r.01 worried worry.v.02 about Jerry Burton NE , and the gun gun.n.01 that had have.v.01 no bullets bullet.n.01 , and the story narrative.n.01 Burton NE had told tell.v.03 him , to care care.v.01 too much overmuch.r.01 about Tony Calenda NE . His nerves nerves.n.02 were getting become.v.01 a little a_bit.r.01 ragged ragged.s.02 and his impatience impatience.n.2;1 put put.v.01 an edge edge.n.04 in his voice voice.n.01 . `` Look look.v.01 '' , he said state.v.01 . `` I was hired hire.v.01 to take film.v.01 a picture picture.n.01 . I took aim.v.01 it . That 's be.v.02 all I know know.v.01 about it and that 's be.v.02 all I care care.v.01 '' . `` You tell tell.v.02 him '' . `` All right very_well.r.02 '' , Calenda NE said state.v.01 , his voice voice.n.01 still still.r.01 quiet hushed.s.01 . `` But I meant mean.v.01 what I said state.v.01 , Casey NE . If that picture picture.n.01 gets around break.v.46 and I find out learn.v.02 you had have.v.01 anything to do with it , I 'm going to send send.v.01 a couple of a_few.s.01 my boys boy.n.02 around around.r.02 to see see.v.12 you '' . `` You do cause.v.01 that '' , Casey NE said state.v.01 . `` Just merely.r.01 be be.v.01 sure certain.s.07 to send send.v.01 your two two.s.01 best best.a.01 boys boy.n.02 , Tony NE '' . He hung up hang_up.v.01 with a bang bang.n.02 , annoyed annoyed.s.01 at himself for running off at the mouth like that but still still.r.01 terribly terribly.r.01 concerned concern.v.02 with the situation situation.n.01 he had helped help.v.01 to create make.v.03 . As soon as he could think think.v.03 logically logically.r.01 again again.r.01 he reached reach.v.03 for the telephone directory phonebook.n.01 and found find.v.01 Jerry Burton NE 's home home.a.02 number phone_number.n.01 . He dialed dial.v.01 it and listened listen.v.01 to it ring ring.v.01 ten ten.s.01 times time.n.01 before he hung up hang_up.v.01 . When he was told tell.v.02 that no one one.n.01 had seen see.v.01 Burton NE since then then.n.01 , he thought of entertain.v.02 three three.s.01 other other.a.01 places place.n.02 that were be.v.01 possibilities possibility.n.02 . Each time time.n.06 he got get.v.01 the same same.a.02 answer answer.n.01 and in the end in_the_long_run.r.01 he gave up give_up.v.4;3 . By the time time.n.01 he had smoked smoke.v.01 three three.s.01 cigarettes cigarette.n.01 he had calmed down calm.v.03 . He had done perform.v.01 all he could and that was be.v.01 that . And anyway anyhow.r.01 Burton NE was be.v.01 not not.r.01 the kind kind.n.01 of guy guy.n.01 who would be likely likely.a.01 to get become.v.01 in trouble in_trouble.s.00 even even.r.01 when he was be.v.01 drunk intoxicated.a.01 . He , Casey NE , had been scared daunt.v.01 for a while awhile.r.01 , but that had come come.v.21 mostly largely.r.01 from the fact fact.n.02 that he felt feel.v.05 responsible responsible.s.02 . He should have stayed stay.v.02 here here.r.01 and watched watch.v.02 Burton NE . He did n't n't.r.00 . So he made make.v.01 a mistake mistake.n.01 . He kept continue.v.01 telling assure.v.02 himself this as he went out exit.v.01 to the kitchen kitchen.n.01 to make make.v.03 a drink drink.n.01 . Only only.r.04 then then.r.03 did he decide decide.v.01 he did n't n't.r.00 want desire.v.01 one one.n.01 . He considered consider.v.05 opening open.v.01 a can can.n.01 of beer beer.n.01 but vetoed veto.v.01 that idea idea.n.01 too besides.r.02 . Finally finally.r.01 he went into enter.v.01 the bedroom bedroom.n.01 and sat down sit_down.v.01 to take off take_off.v.02 his shoes shoe.n.01 . He had just just.r.03 finished complete.v.01 unlacing untie.v.01 the right right.a.01 one one.n.01 when the telephone telephone.n.01 rang ring.v.01 again again.r.01 . When he snatched snatch.v.01 it up the voice voice.n.01 that came come.v.09 to him was be.v.01 quick quick.s.01 and urgent pressing.s.01 . `` Casey NE ? You do n't n't.r.00 know know.v.04 me but I know know.v.04 you . If you want desire.v.01 a picture picture.n.01 get arrive.v.01 to the corner corner.n.04 of Adams NE and Clark NE just precisely.r.01 as fast fast.a.01 as you can . Casey NE heard hear.v.01 the click chink.n.03 of the distant distant.a.01 receiver telephone_receiver.n.01 before he could open open.v.01 his mouth mouth.n.01 , and it took take.v.02 him no no.r.02 more more.n.01 than three three.s.01 seconds second.n.01 to make his decision decide.v.01 . For over the years year.n.01 he had received receive.v.01 many many.a.01 such such.s.01 calls call.n.01 . Some of them came come.v.01 from people people.n.01 who identified name.v.02 themselves .

A few a_few.s.01 passed pass.v.05 along a tip tip.n.03 for the simple bare.s.06 reason reason.n.01 that they liked like.v.03 him and wanted desire.v.01 to give give.v.01 him a break break.n.02 . Only merely.r.01 an occasional occasional.s.01 tip tip.n.03 turned out prove.v.01 to be be.v.01 a phony bogus.s.01 , and , like the police police.n.01 , Casey NE had made make.v.01 a point point.n.07 of running down run_down.v.01 all such such.s.01 suggestions suggestion.n.01 and he did not not.r.01 hesitate hesitate.v.01 this time time.n.01 . He was be.v.03 in his car car.n.01 with his camera camera.n.01 and equipment equipment.n.01 bag bag.n.01 in less than less_than.r.00 two two.s.01 minutes minute.n.01 , and it took take.v.02 him only merely.r.01 three three.s.01 more more.n.01 to reach reach.v.01 the corner corner.n.04 , a block block.n.01 from Columbus Avenue NE . It was be.v.02 a district district.n.01 of small minor.s.10 factories factory.n.01 and loft loft.n.01 buildings building.n.01 and occasional occasional.s.01 tenements tenement.n.01 , and he could see see.v.01 the police radio car cruiser.n.01 as he rounded round.v.01 the corner corner.n.04 and slammed on slap_on.v.01 the brakes brake.n.01 . The police car cruiser.n.01 had pulled up draw_up.v.05 behind a small small.a.01 sedan sedan.n.01 , its headlights headlight.n.01 still still.r.01 on on.a.01 .

She looked look.v.01 at him , lips lip.n.01 compressed compress.v.02 . Then then.r.01 , with a shrug shrug.n.01 of pretended assumed.s.01 indifference indifference.n.01 , she took remove.v.01 a compact compact.n.01 from her purse bag.n.04 and went through the motions of fixing repair.v.01 her make-up makeup.n.01 . In his mood temper.n.02 , it was be.v.01 the best best.a.01 way manner.n.01 to handle treat.v.01 him ; that is that_is.r.00 , to show show.v.01 no curiosity curiosity.n.01 whatsoever . The car car.n.01 lurched lurch.v.03 along at a snail snail.n.01 's crawl crawl.n.01 , the left left.a.01 front front.a.01 mudguard mudguard.n.01 banging slam.v.02 and scraping scrape.v.01 against the tire tire.n.01 , occasionally occasionally.r.01 scraping scrape.v.01 against the road road.n.01 itself . Lord NE whistled whistle.v.01 tunelessly tunelessly.r.01 as he fought fight.v.02 the steering wheel steering_wheel.n.01 . He seemed look.v.02 very very.r.01 pleased pleased.s.02 with himself , as though some intricate intricate.s.01 scheme scheme.n.01 was working out work_out.v.02 exactly precisely.r.01 as he had planned plan.v.03 . Along with this self-satisfaction complacency.n.01 , however however.r.01 , Joyce NE sensed feel.v.03 a growing growing.s.00 tension tension.n.01 .

Hauling up draw_up.v.05 , Russ NE listened listen.v.01 carefully carefully.r.01 . Two two.s.01 minutes minute.n.01 later subsequently.r.01 it came come.v.03 again again.r.01 - a double double.s.01 explosion explosion.n.01 , followed postdate.v.01 by a third third.s.01 , sounding sound.v.03 more more.r.01 distant distant.a.01 . As near as Cobb NE could determine determine.v.01 the shots shooting.n.01 came come.v.01 from the direction direction.n.01 of the Antler NE ranch house ranch_house.n.01 . So far as he knew know.v.01 , only entirely.r.02 his father father.n.01 could be be.v.03 there . What did it mean entail.v.01 ? Clapping clap.v.02 spurs spur.n.04 to the bronc bronco.n.01 he set off depart.v.03 at a sharp sharply.r.03 canter canter.n.01 , with growing growing.s.00 alarm alarm.n.01 . His first first.a.01 glimpse glance.n.01 of the ranch house ranch_house.n.01 across the brushy bosky.s.01 swells swell.n.02 told tell.v.07 him nothing nothing.n.01 . Still however.r.01 a quarter-mile quarter_mile.n.01 away away.s.03 , the fresh fresh.s.02 clap bang.n.02 of guns gun.n.01 only merely.r.01 served serve.v.03 to increase increase.v.02 his speed speed.n.03 .

When it was followed follow.v.01 by a second second.s.00 , whining whine.v.01 even even.r.03 closer closer.s.00 , Cobb NE swerved swerve.v.01 sharply sharply.r.03 aside aside.r.01 into a depression natural_depression.n.01 . He knew know.v.01 now now.r.01 what he was be.v.03 up against . Whoever was be.v.03 out there there.r.01 hiding hide.v.01 in the brushy bosky.s.01 cover screen.n.04 was besieging besiege.v.01 the Antler NE house house.n.01 and , having spotted descry.v.01 his approach approach.n.02 , was be.v.01 determined determined.s.01 to drive force.v.06 him off before he could get into get_into.v.01 the fight fight.n.02 . If he wondered wonder.v.02 whether the attackers attacker.n.01 would allow let.v.01 him to pull attract.v.01 away away.r.01 unmolested unmolested.s.01 , he had receive.v.01 his answer answer.n.01 a moment moment.n.01 later subsequently.r.01 . `` Over this way direction.n.01 !

A carbine carbine.n.01 cracked crack.v.02 more more.r.01 loudly loudly.r.01 , and a slug bullet.n.01 clipped nip.v.03 fragments fragment.n.01 from the brush brush.n.01 off at one matchless.s.01 side side.n.01 . The would-be manque.s.01 assassin assassin.n.01 had his position position.n.01 figured calculate.v.02 pretty reasonably.r.01 close close.r.02 . Dismounting unhorse.v.01 , Russ NE looked look.v.01 about about.r.02 hastily hurriedly.r.01 . Toward the west west.r.01 this depression natural_depression.n.01 led go.v.25 toward a draw draw.n.01 .

Swinging swing.v.01 up then then.r.01 , and bending bend.v.01 forward forward.r.01 over the horn horn.n.04 , he urged urge.v.01 his mount saddle_horse.n.01 down the meandering meandering.s.01 draw draw.n.01 . He had been sighted spy.v.03 , and his attacker attacker.n.01 pumping pump.v.02 shot shot.n.02 after shot shot.n.02 . A shot shot.n.02 or two two.s.01 went travel.v.01 wild wild.s.04 before Cobb NE felt feel.v.03 something tug tug.v.01 at his foot foot.n.01 . A slug bullet.n.01 had torn tear.v.01 half one-half.n.01 of his stirrup stirrup.n.01 guard guard.n.03 away away.r.02 . A second second.s.01 twitched jerk.v.02 his shirtsleeve shirtsleeve.n.01 , and he felt feel.v.03 a brief brief.s.01 burn burn.n.01 on his upper upper.s.02 arm arm.n.01 . Another snarled snap.v.01 close near.r.01 overhead overhead.r.02 . `` Jumping Jerusalem ! Let let.v.01 's get out pull_out.v.01 of here here.r.01 '' ! At the first first.s.02 shot shooting.n.01 Russ NE had hurled lunge.v.01 his mount saddle_horse.n.01 to the left left.a.01 toward the side side.n.01 of the winding meandering.s.01 draw draw.n.01 . The long long.a.01 minute moment.n.01 before he reached reach.v.01 effective effective.s.03 cover cover.n.03 seemed look.v.02 endless endless.s.01 . He heard hear.v.01 cries cry.n.01 from behind him , but he could make out spot.v.02 no words words.n.01 . He dashed dart.v.02 madly madly.r.01 for the next adjacent.s.01 elbow elbow.n.02 turn bend.n.01 in the draw draw.n.01 , and made it survive.v.02 . Recklessly recklessly.r.01 hurling lunge.v.01 the bronc bronco.n.01 sidewise sideways.r.03 into an intersecting decussate.s.01 draw draw.n.01 , he plunged plunge.v.03 forward forward.a.01 with undiminished undiminished.s.01 speed speed.n.03 . Gradually gradually.r.01 the wash wash.n.03 climbed climb.v.01 upward upward.s.01 , forcing push.v.01 him toward open exposed.s.01 range range.n.03 . Yet he must chance gamble.v.01 it . He clambered clamber.v.01 out of the dwindling dwindling.s.01 wash wash.n.03 , the loose loose.a.01 dirt soil.n.02 flying fly.v.01 behind him , and flashed dart.v.02 a look look.n.02 about . Early early_on.r.01 in November november.n.01 the clouds cloud.n.02 lifted rise.v.01 enough enough.r.01 to carry out follow_through.v.02 the assigned assigned.a.01 missions mission.n.02 . And Sweeney Squadron NE put put.v.01 its first inaugural.s.02 marks marker.n.02 on the combat combat.n.01 record record.n.04 . Every plane airplane.n.01 that could fly fly.v.01 was sent send.v.02 into the air air.n.02 . Anything the enemy enemy.n.01 flew fly.v.05 or floated float.v.03 was constitute.v.01 his target target.n.4;2 . Fleischman NE with eight eight.s.01 was to patrol patrol.v.01 the Leyte Gulf NE area area.n.01 , with his main chief.s.01 task job.n.02 to get get.v.19 any kamikaze kamikaze.n.01 before they got arrive.v.01 to the ships ship.n.01 . Greg NE himself took take.v.09 two two.s.01 flights flight.n.05 , with Todman NE leading lead.v.04 the second second.s.01 , to patrol patrol.v.01 and look for search.v.01 targets target.n.4;2 of opportunities opportunity.n.01 around Ormoc NE on the east east.a.01 coast seashore.n.01 of Leyte NE . Each plane airplane.n.01 carried carry.v.02 two two.s.01 five-hundred five_hundred.s.01 pound pound.n.01 bombs bomb.n.01 . A weapons carrier weapons_carrier.n.01 took bring.v.01 Greg NE , Todman NE , Belton NE , Banjo Ferguson NE , and Walters NE and the others the two two.s.01 miles mile.n.01 from the bivouac camp.n.01 area area.n.01 to the strip airstrip.n.01 . It was be.v.01 a rough rough.a.01 long long.a.01 ride drive.n.08 through the mud mud.n.01 and pot holes pothole.n.01 . No one had have.v.01 much much.n.01 to say state.v.01 . The sky sky.n.01 glowered glower.v.01 down down.r.01 at them . There was a feeling impression.n.01 that this mission mission.n.02 would be canceled cancel.v.01 like all the others and that this muddy boggy.s.01 wet wet.a.01 dark dark.a.01 world world.n.03 of combat combat.n.01 would go on continue.v.01 forever forever.r.02 . Donovan NE snatched snatch.v.01 Greg NE 's chute parachute.n.01 from him with a belligerent aggressive.s.03 motion motion.n.03 and almost about.r.07 ran run.v.01 to the plane airplane.n.01 with it . His face face.n.01 was be.v.01 dark dark.s.03 as the sky sky.n.01 above it as he stood stand.v.01 on the wing wing.n.02 and waited wait.v.01 for his pilot pilot.n.01 . Greg NE climbed climb.v.02 into the cockpit cockpit.n.01 feeling feel.v.05 as if he had never never.r.01 been be.v.03 in one before earlier.r.01 . But his hands hand.n.01 and those of Donovan NE moved move.v.03 automatically automatically.r.01 adjusting align.v.01 and arranging arrange.v.01 in the check-out check.n.06 procedure operation.n.07 . `` I 've got get.v.03 her as neat neat.s.01 as I can '' , Donovan NE said state.v.01 , as he dropped drop.v.01 the straps strap.n.01 of the Seton NE harness harness.n.01 over Greg NE 's shoulders shoulder.n.01 . `` But this goddamn climate climate.n.01 . It 's be.v.01 for carabao carabao.n.01 not not.r.01 airplanes airplane.n.01 '' . `` We 'll make out cope.v.01 . Do n't n't.r.00 you worry worry.v.01 , chief '' , Greg NE replied answer.v.01 , wondering wonder.v.02 if he himself believed believe.v.01 it . See you '' , Donovan NE said state.v.01 as he jumped jump.v.01 off the wing wing.n.02 . The expression saying.n.01 was be.v.02 his trade-mark hallmark.n.01 , his open sesame open_sesame.n.01 to good luck good_fortune.n.01 , and his prayer prayer.n.02 that pilot pilot.n.01 and plane airplane.n.01 would always always.r.01 return return.v.01 . At the prearranged prearranged.s.00 time clock_time.n.01 , Greg NE started start.v.08 the engine engine.n.01 and taxied taxi.v.01 out away.r.02 . From the time time.n.01 the chocks chock.n.01 were pulled pull.v.01 until the plane airplane.n.01 was be.v.03 out of sight concealed.s.01 , he knew know.v.01 Donovan NE would keep keep.v.01 his back back.n.01 to the strip airstrip.n.01 . He wondered wonder.v.01 where the superstition superstition.n.01 had originated originate.v.01 that it was be.v.01 bad luck misfortune.n.02 for a crew crew.n.01 chief foreman.n.01 to watch watch.v.01 his plane airplane.n.01 take off take_off.v.3;1 on a combat mission combat_mission.n.01 . Yet long long.r.01 before the scheduled scheduled.a.01 time clock_time.n.01 for return return.n.05 , Donovan NE would be watching watch.v.01 for every speck speck.n.01 in the sky sky.n.01 . Greg NE rumbled rumble.v.01 down down.r.01 the rough rough.a.01 metal metallic.a.01 taxi strip taxiway.n.01 , and one by one one_by_one.r.01 the seven seven.s.01 members member.n.01 of his flight flight.n.05 fell in fall_in.v.02 behind him . The dark dark.a.02 brown brown.s.01 bombs bomb.n.01 hanging hang.v.01 under each wing wing.n.02 looked look.v.02 large large.a.01 and powerful powerful.a.01 . The pilots pilot.n.01 ' heads head.n.01 looked look.v.02 ridiculously laughably.r.01 small small.a.01 . Greg NE 's mission mission.n.02 was be.v.02 the last last.a.02 to leave leave.v.01 , and as he circled circle.v.01 the ships ship.n.01 off Tacloban NE he saw learn.v.02 the clouds cloud.n.02 were dropping down sink.v.01 again again.r.01 . To the west west.n.02 , the dark dark.a.02 green green.s.01 hills hills.n.00 of Leyte NE were lost lose.v.06 in the clouds cloud.n.02 about halfway halfway.r.01 up their slopes slope.n.01 . Underneath him the sea sea.n.01 was be.v.01 a dark dark.a.02 and muddied dirty.s.06 gray grey.s.01 . Water water.n.01 splashed spatter.v.01 against his windshield windshield.n.01 as he led lead.v.01 the flight flight.n.01 in in.r.01 and out away.r.02 of showers shower.n.03 . The metal metallic.a.01 strip airstrip.n.01 they had taken off take_off.v.3;1 from was be.v.01 coal black coal-black.s.01 against the green green.s.01 jungle jungle.n.03 around it . He possessed possess.v.01 the fighter fighter.n.02 pilot pilot.n.01 's horror horror.n.01 of bad weather bad_weather.n.01 and instrument flying instrument_flying.n.01 , and he wondered wonder.v.02 , if the ceiling ceiling.n.02 did drop drop.v.02 , whether he and the other other.a.01 flights flight.n.05 would be be.v.01 able able.a.01 to find find.v.03 their way way.n.06 back back.r.01 in this unfamiliar unfamiliar.a.01 territory district.n.01 . He shivered shiver.v.02 in the warm warm.a.01 cockpit cockpit.n.01 . The overcast cloudiness.n.01 was be.v.01 solid solid.s.05 above him . As far far.r.03 as he could see see.v.01 there was no hole hole.n.01 to climb climb.v.01 through it . Greg NE pushed push.v.01 the radio radio.n.03 button push_button.n.01 on his throttle accelerator.n.02 . `` Todman NE , let 's try try.v.01 to go travel.v.01 under this stuff material.n.01 . Stay stay.v.01 in close near.r.01 and we 'll go travel.v.01 up the valley valley.n.01 '' . `` Roger , Sweeney NE '' , Todman NE called shout.v.02 back back.r.05 , and pulled attract.v.01 his four four.n.01 in in.r.01 and slightly slightly.r.01 above Greg NE . Greg NE took lead.v.01 the formation formation.n.01 wide wide.r.01 around three three.s.01 A-26 attack attack.s.00 bombers bomber.n.01 that were be.v.01 headed headed.s.01 north north.r.01 over the Gulf NE . He dropped down sink.v.01 to five hundred five_hundred.s.01 feet foot.n.02 , swinging swing.v.01 a little a_bit.r.01 north north.r.01 of the city city.n.01 of Tacloban NE , and punched punch.v.02 into the opening opening.n.01 that showed show.v.08 against the mountain mountain.n.01 . The valley valley.n.01 was be.v.01 only merely.r.01 a few a_few.s.01 hundred hundred.s.01 yards yard.n.01 wide wide.a.01 with just about approximately.r.01 room room.n.02 enough adequate.s.02 for a properly properly.r.01 performed perform.v.01 hundred-and-eighty degree degree.n.04 turn turn.n.06 . It was be.v.01 only merely.r.01 a fifteen fifteen.s.01 minute minute.n.01 flight flight.n.02 , but before it was be.v.01 through done.s.01 Greg NE felt feel.v.01 himself developing grow.v.08 a case case.n.01 of claustrophobia claustrophobia.n.01 . The ceiling ceiling.n.02 stayed stay.v.01 solid solid.s.05 above them at about approximately.r.01 eight eight.s.01 hundred hundred.s.01 feet foot.n.02 , and at times occasionally.r.01 the sheer bluff.s.01 cliffs cliff.n.01 seemed look.v.02 about to close in close_in.v.01 . The formation formation.n.01 remained stay.v.01 perfect perfect.a.01 . When the sea sea.n.01 was be.v.01 visible visible.a.01 ahead ahead.r.01 of them , the relief relief.n.01 was be.v.01 as great great.s.01 as if the sun sun.n.01 had come out come_on.v.01 . He spread diffuse.v.01 the flight flight.n.01 out and led lead.v.01 them across a point point.n.11 of land land.n.04 and then then.r.01 down down.r.02 the coast seashore.n.01 . Although they drew draw.v.36 light light.a.04 ground land.n.04 fire fire.n.02 they saw see.v.01 no signs sign.n.01 of activity action.n.02 . Once once.r.01 Todman NE thought think.v.01 he had spotted descry.v.01 a tank tank.n.01 and went down descend.v.01 to investigate investigate.v.02 while Greg NE covered cover.v.09 him . `` Somebody beat beat.v.01 us to it '' ! Todman NE said state.v.01 over the radio radio.n.03 as he came back retort.v.01 up up.r.01 in formation formation.n.01 . Visibility visibility.n.01 continued continue.v.01 to be be.v.01 limited limited.a.01 , and Greg NE was be.v.01 never never.r.01 able able.a.01 to get arrive.v.01 above a thousand a_thousand.s.00 feet foot.n.02 . It was be.v.01 frustrating frustrating.s.01 . He thought think.v.01 once once.r.01 that he identified identify.v.01 the somewhat slightly.r.01 hysterical hysteric.s.01 voice voice.n.01 of Fleischman NE claiming claim.v.01 a kill kill.n.02 . But Greg NE 's area area.n.01 remained stay.v.01 as placid placid.s.01 as a Florida florida.n.01 dawn dawn.n.02 . Finally finally.r.01 , as time time.n.02 began get_down.v.07 to run out drain.v.01 , he headed steer.v.01 into Ormoc NE and glide-bombed glide-bomb.v.01 a group group.n.01 of houses house.n.01 that Intelligence intelligence.n.02 had thought think.v.01 might contain hold.v.11 Japanese japanese.a.01 supplies supplies.n.00 . The low low.a.02 clouds cloud.n.02 made make.v.02 bombing bombing.n.01 difficult difficult.a.01 . There was not not.r.01 enough enough.r.01 room room.n.02 to make make.v.01 the usual usual.a.01 vertical vertical.a.01 bomb bomb.n.01 run run.n.06 . The accuracy accuracy.n.01 was be.v.01 deplorable deplorable.s.01 . One of Greg NE 's bombs bomb.n.01 hung up hang.v.02 , and he was be.v.03 miles mile.n.01 from the target target.n.03 before he could get rid of get_rid_of.v.01 it . Only merely.r.01 one of the flight flight.n.01 scored score.v.01 a direct direct.a.01 hit hit.n.02 and the rest remainder.n.01 blew up explode.v.01 jungle jungle.n.03 . With their load load.n.01 of bombs bomb.n.01 gone gone.s.04 , the planes airplane.n.01 moved travel.v.01 swiftly swiftly.r.01 and easily easily.r.01 . Mercifully mercifully.r.01 , it was be.v.01 still still.r.01 open open.a.02 . Like a man man.n.01 making make.v.01 a deep deep.a.01 dive dive.n.02 , Greg NE took breathe.v.01 full entire.s.01 breath and plunged immerse.v.01 back back.r.01 into the valley valley.n.01 . He was be.v.01 about to make make.v.01 a gas gasoline.n.01 check check.n.06 on his flight flight.n.01 when Todman NE 's voice voice.n.01 broke in chime_in.v.01 : `` Sweeneys NE ! Three three.s.01 bogies bogy.n.01 . Twelve twelve.s.01 o'clock o'clock.r.01 level level.s.04 '' . Greg NE 's eyes eye.n.01 flicked jerk.v.05 up up.r.01 from his instrument panel control_panel.n.01 . He saw see.v.01 them , specks speck.n.01 against the gray gray.n.01 , but closing close_in.v.01 fast fast.r.01 . They were be.v.01 headed headed.s.01 straight directly.r.01 for each other on a collision collision.n.01 course path.n.04 . Friend ally.n.02 or enemy enemy.n.01 ? And only merely.r.01 a few a_few.s.01 seconds second.n.01 to answer answer.v.03 it . `` Zeros NE '' ! Todman NE said allege.v.01 excitedly excitedly.r.01 , and hopefully hopefully.r.01 . And then then.r.01 he thought think.v.02 Todman NE might be be.v.01 right correct.a.01 . His mind mind.n.01 flicked flick.v.02 through the mental pictures mental_picture.n.01 he had have.v.01 from the hours hours.n.02 of Aircraft Identification NE . He narrowed pin_down.v.01 the shape shape.n.01 down to two two.s.01 : either a Zero NE or a U. S. Navy NE type type.n.01 aircraft aircraft.n.01 . If it were be.v.02 the enemy enemy.n.01 , tactically tactically.r.01 his position military_position.n.01 was be.v.01 correct correct.a.01 . Japanese japanese.a.01 aircraft aircraft.n.01 were be.v.01 strong strong.a.01 on maneuverability maneuverability.n.01 , American american.a.01 on speed speed.n.01 and firepower firepower.n.01 . His present present.a.01 maximum maximal.a.01 altitude altitude.n.01 , up against the overcast cloudiness.n.01 , gave yield.v.01 him the opportunity opportunity.n.01 to exploit exploit.v.01 his advantages advantage.n.01 . But the closing close_in.v.01 aircraft aircraft.n.01 showed testify.v.02 no sign sign.n.01 of deviating deviate.v.01 from their original original.s.01 course path.n.04 . In seconds moment.n.02 , Greg NE made make.v.01 his decision decision.n.01 . He pushed push.v.01 the radio radio.n.03 button push_button.n.01 . `` Sweeney Blue NE , hit the deck hit_the_dirt.v.01 .

Up to date up-to-date.s.01 , however however.r.01 , his garden garden.n.01 was be.v.01 still still.r.01 more or less approximately.r.01 of a mess mess.n.01 , he had n't n't.r.00 even even.r.01 started originate.v.02 his workshop workshop.n.01 and if there was a meadow hayfield.n.01 pond pond.n.01 in the neighborhood vicinity.n.01 he had n't n't.r.00 found find.v.03 it . It was n't n't.r.00 his fault mistake.n.01 that these things thing.n.01 were be.v.01 so so.s.00 . The difficulty difficulty.n.02 was be.v.01 that each each.r.01 day day.n.01 seemed look.v.02 to produce produce.v.01 its quota quota.n.01 of details detail.n.01 which must be cleaned up tidy.v.01 immediately immediately.r.01 . As a result consequence.n.01 , life life.n.02 had become become.v.02 a kind kind.n.01 of continuous continuous.a.01 make-ready makeready.n.01 . Once once.r.02 he disposed of dispose_of.v.01 these items item.n.1;3 which screamed so so.r.01 harshly gratingly.r.01 for attention attention.n.01 , he could undertake undertake.v.01 the things thing.n.02 which really truly.r.01 counted count.v.02 . Then then.r.03 , at last ultimately.r.01 , his day day.n.05 would fall fall.v.03 into an ordered ordered.s.00 pattern practice.n.01 and he would be be.v.01 free free.a.01 to read read.v.01 , or garden garden.v.01 or just merely.r.01 wander roll.v.12 through the woods forest.n.01 in the late late.a.01 afternoon afternoon.n.01 , accompanied accompanied.a.01 by his dogs dog.n.01 . His dogs dog.n.01 ?

Now now.r.01 it became become.v.01 increasingly increasingly.r.01 apparent apparent.s.01 that there were to be be.v.05 no dogs dog.n.01 in the picture picture.n.04 . What in the world universe.n.01 were you going to do do.v.03 with a lot of dogs dog.n.01 when you left leave.v.01 for town town.n.01 on Monday monday.n.01 afternoons afternoon.n.01 ?

He would wake up awaken.v.01 in the middle in_the_middle.r.00 of the night night.n.01 and fret fuss.v.01 about it . Was it possible possible.a.01 that as people people.n.01 grow turn.v.07 older aged.s.01 the nature nature.n.01 of time time.n.05 changed change.v.02 ? Could it be that it speeded up accelerate.v.01 for the aged aged.n.01 in some mysterious cryptic.s.01 way manner.n.01 , as if a bored blase.s.02 universe universe.n.01 were skipping jump.v.13 through the end end.n.05 of the chapter chapter.n.02 just merely.r.01 to get it over with ?

It might be that certain certain.s.01 people people.n.01 were born be_born.v.01 with a compulsion compulsion.n.01 to complicate complicate.v.01 their lives life.n.02 , while others could live live.v.02 blissfully blissfully.r.01 motionless inactive.s.10 almost about.r.07 indefinitely indefinitely.r.01 , like lizards lizard.n.01 in the sun sunlight.n.01 , too excessively.r.01 indolent faineant.s.01 to blink blink.v.01 their eyes eye.n.01 . Perhaps possibly.r.01 it was his misfortune misfortune.n.02 , or good fortune good_fortune.n.01 , whichever way manner.n.01 one looked at consider.v.03 it , to belong to belong_to.v.01 the former former.a.01 group group.n.01 , and he was struggling fight.v.03 unconsciously unconsciously.r.01 to build up build_up.v.02 pressure imperativeness.n.01 in a world world.n.02 which demanded demand.v.01 none , which was be.v.01 positively positively.r.01 antagonistic antagonistic.s.01 to it thereto.r.01 . And then again on_the_other_hand.r.01 perhaps possibly.r.01 the reason reason.n.02 why he could n't n't.r.00 find find.v.10 time time.n.02 to do make.v.01 any of the things thing.n.02 he had planned plan.v.01 to do make.v.01 after retirement retirement.n.01 : reading read.v.01 , roaming roll.v.12 , gardening garden.v.01 , lying lie.v.01 on his back back.n.01 and watching watch.v.01 the clouds cloud.n.02 go by travel_by.v.01 , was be.v.02 because he did n't n't.r.00 want desire.v.01 to do do.v.3;1 them . They could be done done.s.01 or left leave.v.03 undone undone.s.01 and nobody really actually.r.01 gave a damn . During all his busy busy.a.01 life life.n.03 he had only merely.r.01 done do.v.3;1 things thing.n.02 which had to be done do.v.3;1 . This habit habit.n.02 had become become.v.01 so so.r.01 fixed fixed.s.04 over the years year.n.03 that it seemed look.v.02 futile bootless.s.01 to do do.v.3;1 anything for which no one was waiting expect.v.03 . He looked look.v.01 at the luminous aglow.s.01 dial dial.n.01 of his wrist watch wristwatch.n.01 . It was five five.s.01 minutes minute.n.01 after four four.n.01 . On some distant distant.a.01 farm farm.n.01 a rooster cock.n.04 crowed crow.v.03 and , far far.r.02 down down.r.02 the valley valley.n.01 , an associate associate.n.01 answered answer.v.01 . He turned over roll.v.01 impatiently impatiently.r.01 and pulled pull.v.01 the sheet sheet.n.03 over his head head.n.01 against the treacherous treacherous.s.01 encroachment invasion.n.02 of the dawn dawn.n.01 . At least at_least.r.01 he could buy buy.v.01 the equipment equipment.n.01 for his workshop workshop.n.01 . Thus thus.r.02 committed committed.a.01 , action action.n.01 might follow follow.v.03 . He also besides.r.02 bought buy.v.01 a huge huge.s.01 square square.n.01 of pegboard pegboard.n.01 for hanging up hang.v.02 his tools tool.n.01 , and lumber lumber.n.01 for his workbench workbench.n.01 , sandpaper emery_paper.n.01 and glue glue.n.01 and assorted assorted.s.01 nails nail.n.02 , levels level.n.05 and T squares t-square.n.01 and plumb lines plumb_line.n.01 and several several.s.01 gadgets appliance.n.01 that he had have.v.01 no idea idea.n.01 how to use use.v.01 or what they were be.v.01 for . `` There '' , said state.v.01 Mr. Mills NE . `` That 'll get you started . Best best.r.02 not not.r.01 to get get.v.01 everything at once at_a_time.r.01 . Add add.v.01 things thing.n.04 as you find detect.v.01 you need want.v.02 ' em '' . He did n't n't.r.00 even even.r.01 ask ask.v.01 the cost cost.n.01 of this collection collection.n.01 . After all after_all.r.01 , if you were going to set up install.v.01 a workshop workshop.n.01 you had to have have.v.01 the proper proper.a.01 equipment equipment.n.01 and that was that . When he returned return.v.01 home home.r.01 , the station wagon beach_wagon.n.01 loaded laden.s.01 with tools tool.n.01 , Jinny NE had gone go.v.03 with a friend friend.n.01 to some meeting meeting.n.01 in the village village.n.01 , using use.v.01 the recently recently.r.01 purchased buy.v.01 second second.s.01 car car.n.01 . He was be.v.01 glad glad.a.01 . He had made cause.v.01 such such.r.01 a fuss dither.n.01 about buying buy.v.01 that second second.s.01 car car.n.01 that he knew know.v.01 he was be.v.01 vulnerable vulnerable.a.01 . He piled stack.v.02 everything neatly neatly.r.01 in a corner corner.n.03 of the cellar basement.n.01 and turned turn.v.01 to stare gaze.v.01 at the blank blank.s.01 stone stone.n.02 wall wall.n.01 . That was be.v.03 where the pegboard pegboard.n.01 would go belong.v.03 on which he would hang hang.v.02 his hand tools hand_tool.n.01 . In front ahead.r.01 of it would be be.v.03 his workbench workbench.n.01 . The old old.a.02 nightmare nightmare.n.02 which had caused induce.v.02 him so so.r.01 many many.a.01 wakeful argus-eyed.s.02 hours hour.n.01 came come.v.01 charging tear.v.03 in in.r.01 on him once more again.r.01 , only only.r.05 this time time.n.01 he could n't n't.r.00 pacify pacify.v.01 it with a sleeping pill sleeping_pill.n.01 and send send.v.01 it away aside.r.02 . How in the world universe.n.01 did one attach attach.v.01 a pegboard pegboard.n.01 to a stone stone.n.02 wall wall.n.01 ? How did one attach attach.v.01 anything to a stone stone.n.02 wall wall.n.01 , for that matter for_that_matter.r.01 ? After the pegboard pegboard.n.01 there would be exist.v.01 the paneling paneling.n.01 . He sat down sit_down.v.01 on an old old.a.02 box box.n.01 and focused on focus_on.v.01 the problem problem.n.02 . But then then.r.01 , when you stuck lodge.v.02 things thing.n.04 into the holes hole.n.02 , why did n't n't.r.00 they come come_out.v.05 right right.r.03 out again again.r.01 ? It all seemed look.v.02 rather rather.r.02 hopeless hopeless.a.01 . He turned turn.v.01 his attention attention.n.01 to the workbench workbench.n.01 . Perhaps possibly.r.01 that was be.v.01 the first first.a.01 thing thing.n.02 to do make.v.01 . A workbench workbench.n.01 had have.v.01 a heavy heavy.a.01 top top.n.01 and sturdy hardy.s.01 legs leg.n.03 , but how did you attach attach.v.01 sturdy hardy.s.01 legs leg.n.03 to a heavy heavy.a.01 top top.n.01 so so.r.02 that the whole thing whole_thing.n.00 did n't n't.r.00 wobble wobble.v.01 like a newborn newborn.s.01 calf calf.n.01 and ultimately ultimately.r.01 collapse collapse.v.01 when you leaned on lean_on.v.01 it ? Mr. Mills NE had done make.v.01 some figuring calculate.v.01 on a scrap bit.n.02 of paper paper.n.01 and given give.v.03 him the various assorted.s.02 kinds kind.n.01 of boards board.n.02 and two-by-fours two-by-four.n.01 which , properly properly.r.01 handled wield.v.02 , would , he had assured assure.v.02 him , turn into turn_into.v.00 a workbench workbench.n.01 . They lay lie.v.01 on the cellar basement.n.01 floor floor.n.01 in a disorderly disorderly.a.01 pile pile.n.01 . Mr. Crombie NE poked at nudge.v.01 it gingerly gingerly.r.01 with his foot foot.n.01 . How could anyone know know.v.02 what to do make.v.01 with an assortment assortment.n.01 like that ? Then then.r.02 at least at_least.r.01 he would have have.v.01 a place position.n.01 to hang hang.v.02 his tools tool.n.01 and something to work work.v.01 on . After that everything should be be.v.01 simpler elementary.s.01 . He went travel.v.01 upstairs upstairs.r.01 to phone call.v.03 Crumb NE . To his amazement astonishment.n.01 he reached reach.v.04 him . Mr. Crumb NE was be.v.01 laid up laid_up.s.01 with a bad bad.a.01 cold cold.n.01 . He did n't n't.r.00 seem look.v.02 to think think.v.01 that attaching attach.v.01 a pegboard pegboard.n.01 to a stone stone.n.02 wall wall.n.01 was be.v.01 much much.r.01 of a problem problem.n.01 and he tossed off the building construction.n.01 of the worktable worktable.n.01 equally equally.r.01 lightly lightly.r.05 . The only alone.s.03 trouble trouble.n.01 was be.v.02 that he himself was be.v.01 tied up tied_up.s.01 on the school school.n.01 job job.n.02 . That was be.v.01 why he had n't n't.r.00 been be.v.01 able able.a.01 to finish complete.v.01 the porch porch.n.01 . No , he did n't n't.r.00 know know.v.01 of any handyman handyman.n.01 carpenter carpenter.n.01 . Carpenters carpenter.n.01 all wanted want.v.02 steady steady.a.01 work employment.n.02 and at the moment moment.n.01 every mother's son for twenty twenty.s.01 miles mile.n.01 around that could hammer hammer.v.01 nails nail.n.02 for twenty-five twenty-five.s.01 dollars dollar.n.02 a day day.n.05 was working on work_at.v.01 the school school.n.01 job job.n.02 . There was a fellow chap.n.01 named named.s.00 Blatz NE over Smithtown NE way direction.n.01 . Nobody liked wish.v.02 to hire hire.v.01 him because you never never.r.01 could tell tell.v.05 when he was going to be taken take.v.29 drunk intoxicated.a.01 . Mr. Crumb NE would probably probably.r.01 see see.v.8;1 him at Lodge NE Meeting meeting.n.01 the next future.s.03 night night.n.01 . If he was be.v.01 sober sober.a.01 , which was be.v.01 doubtful doubtful.s.01 , he 'd have induce.v.02 him get in touch get_in_touch.v.01 with Mr. Crombie NE . Mr. Blatz NE had been be.v.01 at least at_least.r.01 sober sober.a.01 enough enough.r.01 to remember remember.v.02 to telephone call.v.03 and he turned out prove.v.01 to be be.v.02 the greatest greatest.s.01 boon blessing.n.02 that had come come.v.21 into Mr. Crombie NE 's life life.n.03 since he moved move.v.04 to Highfield NE , in spite of the fact fact.n.01 that he did n't n't.r.00 work work.v.01 very very.r.01 fast fast.r.01 or very very.r.01 long long.r.01 at a time at_a_time.r.01 , and he did n't n't.r.00 like like.v.02 to work work.v.01 at all at_all.r.01 unless Mr. Crombie NE hung around loiter.v.01 and talked talk.v.01 to him . He said state.v.01 he was be.v.01 the lonely alone.s.02 type character.n.05 and working work.v.01 in a cellar basement.n.01 you saw see.v.01 funny curious.s.01 things thing.n.08 coming come.v.01 out of the cracks crack.n.01 in the wall wall.n.01 if they was be.v.05 n't n't.r.00 nobody with you . So Mr. Crombie NE sat sit.v.01 on a wooden wooden.s.01 box box.n.01 and talked talk.v.01 in order to keep keep.v.01 Mr. Blatz NE 's mind mind.n.01 from funny curious.s.01 things thing.n.08 . At the same time simultaneously.r.01 he watched watch.v.01 carefully carefully.r.01 to see see.v.01 how one attached attach.v.01 pegboards pegboard.n.01 to stone stone.n.02 walls wall.n.01 , but Mr. Blatz NE was usually normally.r.01 standing stand.v.01 in his line of vision line_of_sight.n.01 and it all seemed look.v.02 so so.r.01 simple elementary.s.01 that he did n't n't.r.00 like like.v.02 to disclose unwrap.v.02 his ignorance ignorance.n.01 . Mr. Blatz NE agreed agree.v.02 that this would be be.v.01 pretty pretty.s.01 . Without further further.s.01 discussion discussion.n.02 he appeared appear.v.02 the next following.s.02 morning morning.n.01 with a pile pile.n.01 of boards board.n.02 sticking jutting.s.01 over the end end.n.01 of his light light.a.01 truck truck.n.01 and proceeded proceed.v.02 with the paneling paneling.n.01 , which he then then.r.01 stained stain.v.01 and waxed wax.v.01 according to his taste preference.n.01 . `` Now '' , he said state.v.01 , `` we got to put in install.v.01 some outlets wall_socket.n.01 for them power tools power_tool.n.01 ; then then.r.01 a couple of a_few.s.01 fluorescent fluorescent.s.01 lamps lamp.n.01 over the workbench workbench.n.01 an ' I guess think.v.02 we 're be.v.01 about through done.s.01 down down.r.01 here here.r.01 '' . It all did look look.v.02 very very.r.01 efficient efficient.a.01 and shipshape shipshape.s.01 . There was no question doubt.n.02 of that . `` By the way by_the_way.r.01 '' , said state.v.01 Mr. Blatz NE , packing pack.v.01 his tools tool.n.01 into a battered battered.s.01 carrier carrier.n.02 , `` them power tools power_tool.n.01 needs necessitate.v.01 extra extra.s.03 voltage voltage.n.01 .
