" "To a thoughtful biographer, [Ebling Mis's house] was "the symbolization of a retreat from a non-academic reality", a society columnist gushed silkily at its "frightfully masculine atmosphere of careless disorder", a University Ph.D called it brusquely, "bookish, but unorganized", a non-university friend said, "good for a drink anytime and you can put your feet on the sofa", and a breezy newsweekly broadcast, that went in for color, spoke of the "rooky, down-to-earth, no-nonsense living quarters of blaspheming, Leftish, balding Ebling Mis".
To Bayta, who thought of no audience but herself at the moment, and who had the advantage of first-hand information, it was merely sloppy.

Additional quotes by Isaac Asimov
We can see, now, that the social background of the Empire makes wars of conquest impossible for it. Under weak Emperors, it is torn apart by generals competing for a worthless and surely death-bringing throne. Under strong Emperors, the Empire is frozen into a paralytic rigour in which disintegration apparently ceases for the moment, but only at the sacrifice of all possible growth.
Este rito, que parece haber sido practicado primero por los antiguos egipcios, fue adoptado por los cananeos durante los siglos de su dominación por Egipto, y también por los israelitas, cuando entraron en esa tierra. La circuncisión quizá se haya originado en un rito de la fertilidad o como sustituto de los sacrificios humanos, pero los israelitas posteriores lo hacían remontar a Abraham y lo consideraron una forma de aceptar el pacto con Dios por el cual poseían legítimamente Canaán
