Six studies by ARTHUR MIZENER
Professor of English at Cornell University
3: The Noble Savage: Mark Twain
Twain seems to have thought for a long time that Huckleberry Finn, one of the world's great books, wasjust another boy's book. But behind the uproarious comedy is one of literature's great visions of what the world looks like in the light of man's dream of perfection, a dream that has haunted both American society and American literature.

by Dr. ANDRÉ BETEILLE
There is still a debate tn fndia as to whether caste is growing more or less important in social and political life. Andre Betetlle , Reader in Sociology at the University of Delhi, is French on his father's side. Brahmin Indian on his mother's. He believes that the debate about the influence of the traditional caste system is diverting attention from new kinds of social inequality which are growing to be an important feature of Indian society.
