Summary

This quote suggests that science fails to accurately address and understand personal relationships. It implies that the complex and subjective nature of human interactions cannot be adequately measured or explained by scientific methods. Science, with its emphasis on objective observation and quantification, may overlook the intricacies of emotions, intentions, and the unique dynamics existing between individuals. Thus, the quote asserts that science's approach to personal relationships is inherently flawed and inadequate.

The UN is not just a product of do-gooders. It is harshly real. The day will come when men will see the U.N. and what it means clearly. Everything will be all right -- you know when?

A great deal has been written in recent years about the purported lack of motivation in the children of the Negro ghettos. Little in my experience supports this, yet the phrase has been repeated endlessly, and the blame in almost all cases is placed somewhere outside the classroom.
