Inflation (Unintelligible)

One learns to simplify. Some years ago I brightened and Simplified my life by resolving never again to read about the Near East. The New York Times since then has covered a thousand acres with paper and ink having to do with that region, I have ignored it all, and I haven’t missed a thing. The A’s and the J’s are where they were 4,000 years ago, i.e., at each other’s throats, and the events of the last ten years haven’t made a difference.

Then I promised myself I would never read again about the problems of the Irish and the English, and, oh, what cheery mornings and happy days I trace to that resolve! The I’s and the E’s must do without me!
