		'Swarthmoor' simply confirms that this is an unjust world when it comes to placing a value on talent.
		Swarthmoor really has everything: humour (Six Billion Eccentrics), politics (The Government Wall), sentimentality (The Luckiest Man), optimism (Goodbye To Oil) and history (Naseby Field).
		Swarthmoor leads off with "The Two Brothers," a striking metaphor for the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians that portrays the antagonists as a pair of squabbling children, who although they fight are intimately connected to and dependent on one another.

	Inward Light 97—An Experience of Contemplation
		On the Yearly Meeting Sunday, at Lancaster, last year we were given the opportunity of visiting several of the meetings in the historical Quaker country.
		Swarthmoor meeting house is one of the oldest in England, and my knowledge that George Fox had worshipped there made me shudder with reverence on entering its portals—as if the vibrations of centuries of gathered worship under its roof could be physically perceived.
		I was thankful, as well, because this was the second week of my annual summer holiday and I had started to relax after a period of hectic and demanding professional work.
