| >consult guide about Nutrimat The Guide checks through its Sub-Etha-Net database and eventually comes up with the following entry: A typically unreliable Sirius Cybernetics Corporation product, the Nutrimat analyses the user's neural paths to provide the (supposedly) ideal offering. Its computing power is frankly abysmal, so the optional computer interface is a good thing to go for. |

| Roosevelt could always keep ahead with his work, but I cannot do it, and I know it is a grievous fault, but it is too late to remedy it. The country must take me as it found me. Wasn’t it your mother who had a servant girl who said it was no use for her to try to hurry, that she was a “Sunday chil” and no “Sunday chil” could hurry? I don’t think I am a Sunday child, but I ought to have been; then I would have had an excuse for always being late. |

| [F]rankly ... it was perfectly true that I had, for over a year, expressed the opinion that Indo-China should not go back to France but that it should be administered by an international trusteeship. France has had the country ... for nearly one hundred years, and the people are worse off than they were at the beginning.... France has milked it for one hundred years. The people of Indo-China are entitled to something better than that. |
