good sense to invite her back
4 That Just about exhausts the
Eredit list, however.
Just as David Susskind was
lin over his head in his interview
Z last Sunday with Soviet Am
bassador Menshikov, so was
Paar with DR.. Mead - and
Paar, at least, senSed it.
I've never seen him as jittery
during an interview; rarely
heard him interrupt or collide
with as many trains of thought.
In addition, Paar was pur-
suing the customary provoca-
tive lines of questioning when
ever anthropologistS are inter-
viewed - namely, sexual and
family relationships among So
called "savages."
At one point Paar made a
half hearted reference to the
Manus of New Guinea, the sub
ject of DR.. Mead's great study
of a primitive tribe in trans
ition, New Lives for DID," and
then dropped it halfway dur
ing her answer. ut reminded
me OF a story DR.. Mead tells in
her book of how she spent
days travelling to a town and a
phone to get an important
message from New York" It
was marketing research COM
pany wanting to know if she
smoked.
Disconnected though it was,
DR.. Mead made some telling
points. one on the bomb shelter
controversy which, she said, has
finally forced us to focus on the
great crucial issue.
In parting exchange, Paar
mumbled som ething to DR..
Mead to the effect that he was
afraid she might have felt that
he was trying to shock her.
She replied briSkly that she got
that impression.
4
Summary: Parr rarely makes
the same interview mist ak e
twice and will prep more care
fully, I hope, for DR.. Mead's
next visit. He had to be i'm
pressed by her quick mind
and articulate answers. Her
thoughts on the Peace Corps,
for example, should be fasci-
mating as well as instructive. To
work, Paar!

Reading
Lesson


AF YOU'VE TAKEN all FIVE lessons in our THIS
WEEK Rapid Reading Course and practiced
diligently as you read other things, you
should by now have improved your reading
speed by from 20 to so per cent. But you
may have missed lesson or two, and even
if you We been faithful scholar, you need
refresher. Today I'll give you one. It's also
a sort of Instant Reading Course all in one
piece for those who have come in late.
The basics of modern rapid reading con.
sist of FIVE points. Practice them and you'll
soon read at swift pace and still understand
and remember what you read:
4. Pre-reGd: Before you start an arti-
Gle, note the headline or title, the bank, the
pictures and captions - everything that will
help you size up the article before you start.
Then read the first two or three paragraphs
carefully, and look over the opening SEN
tences of the next several paragraphs. Note
the conclusion Of the article. Now you know
enough to decide whether you really want to
read it - and how you want to read it.
2. adjust your speed: It's as silly
to read everything at the same speed as
