What the maps provide is something like the top level of a hypertext document. At Cornell, students can submit a letter from a psychologist enumerating their special needs concerning instruction and testing. Faculty members receive memoranda at the beginning of each semester, informing them of the requirements of each special-needs student who has signed up for their classes. A memo might state that a student has been diagnosed with a learning disability and so is legally eligible for 150 per cent of the usual time allowed to complete exams, along with a small testing room without distractions of any kind. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe.
Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
