Charles Eliot's Harvard Classics (now at archive.org), 5-foot shelf of books and a shelf of fiction. 15-minutes per day for a year to a liberal education. In Fifteen Minutes a Day, The Reading Guide, Dr. Elliot is quoted as saying "...I had more than once stated in public that in my opinion a five-foot -- at first a three-foot -- shelf would hold books enough to afford a good substitute for a liberal education to anyone who would read them with devotion, even if he could spare but fifteen minutes a day for reading."
| Quote of the moment |
| It is difficult to impose censorship in a democracy. Though we can still see censorship at work in India, real violence and even explicit eroticism are permitted in Indian films. Women can display themselves very provocatively, as they do everywhere else. Yet until recently men and women never kissed on the lips. People killed one another, but they didn't kiss. And yet it is more agreeable to kiss than to kill! In Indian films, most of the time we witness the development of a love story, which meets violent opposition, but in the end the good-hearted people are reunited and rewarded, while the villians are punished. |
