It simply moves along on a straight road upon which it is not possible to be lost. Its presence makes itself felt, not by antagonisms - or sclf-assertiveness, but by a perceptible sense of the existence of a present force to mark out a safe and sensible course of action. Just to be "it" and do the right thing is not an impossibility, and is well worth striving for. Signed March S, 1019. fyjhmtfi.
