| 1 After living in New York, you trust nobody, but you believe everything. | |

| 7 If science were explained to the average person in a way that is accessible | |
| 8 and exciting, there would be no room for pseudoscience. But there is a kind | |
| 9 of Gresham's Law by which in popular culture the bad science drives out the | |
| 10 good. And for this I think we have to blame, first, the scientific community | |
| 11 ourselves for not doing a better job of popularizing science, and second, the | |
| 12 media, which are in this respect almost uniformly dreadful. Every newspaper | |
| 13 in America has a daily astrology column. How many have even a weekly | |
| 14 astronomy column? And I believe it is also the fault of the educational | |
| 15 system. We do not teach how to think. This is a very serious failure that | |
| 16 may even, in a world rigged with 60,000 nuclear weapons, compromise the human | |
| 17 future. | |

| 31 Was there a time when dancers with their fiddles | |
| 32 In children's circuses could stay their troubles? | |
| 33 There was a time they could cry over books, | |
| 34 But time has set its maggot on their track. | |
| 35 Under the arc of the sky they are unsafe. | |
| 36 What's never known is safest in this life. | |
| 37 Under the skysigns they who have no arms | |
| 38 Have cleanest hands, and, as the heartless ghost | |
| 39 Alone's unhurt, so the blind man sees best. | |

| 48 A man sank into the psychiatrist's couch and said, "I have a | |
| 49 terrible problem, Doctor. I have a son at Harvard and another son at | |
| 50 Princeton; I've just gifted each of them with a new Ferrari; I've got | |
| 51 homes in Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, and a co-op in New York; and I've | |
| 52 got a thriving ranch in Venezuela. My wife is a gorgeous young actress | |
| 53 who considers my two mistresses to be her best friends." | |
| 54 The psychiatrist looked at the patient, confused. "Did I miss | |
| 55 something? It sounds to me like you have no problems at all." | |
| 56 "But, Doctor, I only make $175 a week." | |
