• History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through withits twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it.

If you will follow this plan, you will be surprised to find how new and fresh your interest in what you read will become.

The world of the war-or-peace alternative became a world in which war was peace and peace war.

Closely tracking industrialization are breast cancer rates, which are highest in North America and northern Europe, intermediate in southern Europe and Latin America, and lowest in Asia and Africa.
