23、 the stage fbr the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange.

Come and eat a banana”4 He ofiered me one. I refused it. I felt it crucial that my father sell his bananas, not give

34、 a defeated army wrapped in dreams of home. Elevated trains crashed; the Cooper Union clock burned above us; the sky grew black, the wind poured, the slush burned through our shoes. There were thousands of strange, silent figures pouring over the sidewalks in snow. None of them stopped to buy banana
35、s. I yelled and yelled, but nobody listened.14 My father vied to stop me at last, Mz, he said smiling to console me. that was wonderful yelling, Mikey. But its plain we are unlucky today!

Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scient

Three hundred years seems a long time fbr testing a new approach to human interliving, long enough to settle back fbr critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument.2 Voices have been raised in pr
