The Russians have an excellent system of higher education. They maintain very high standards. The system is highly structured and competitive.

I think it's important to travel around in order to get a notion of what's going on, to find out what people are think about. I enjoy talking on campuses most because people are more informed and discussion is generally livelier.

Here, class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes, which they are tested on. What is missing, it seems to me, is the use of knowledge, the practical training.

I don't know which system is best. They lack problem-solving ability, whereas we institutionalize the application of knowledge.

The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning.

They admire the land-grant system and the interrelationship between agricultural experimentation, the agriculture industry, and the individual farmer-the entire extension concept. They have tried to imitate it, but without much success. It's an edge we have.

Journalism students need to understand it and need a solid background in the liberal arts, in sociology, economics, literature and language, because they won't get it later on.

Once I sent a story that included agricultural statistics showing productivity growth. I disguised the fact that agricultural productivity had finally reached the levels attained under the czars, and got it by the censors.

I got a cable from New York saying that what I'd written about the growth of Soviet agricultural production didn't make sense because the same levels were reached under the czars. I wanted to confirm it, but by then the censors were on to me.

And so I am driven by these doglike instincts halfway across the globe and into the remote fastness of Asia to find, perhaps, a few bones of history and to try to snatch from nature's careless fingers a jewel or two.

Life within the Kremlin was shrouded in impenetrable secrecy.

The Russians have amassed a million troops on their side, the Chinese perhaps two million. And the buildup continues.

I had intended to specialize in chemistry. The first day of school I dropped into the Daily office and signed up to be a cub reporter. The Daily was a lively institution then, as I'm sure it is now. I found myself spending more time there than in class.

I visited the Chinese side last year. The Chinese are in a constant state of military readiness. They have all their nuclear weapons in the area, presumably trained on targets across the border.

By the way, I understand that now you can have the Times delivered to your door here in the Twin Cities.

I was a fool.
