Money Talks
HAVE just heard from 2YA the second of Dr. Herbert Money’s talks on Peru, and now consider myself enrolled for. the complete course. To the first, "Travel in the Andes," I brought a mind singularly unhampered by the tyranny of the preconceived idea, since I know next to nothing of South American geography. At the conclusion of the talk I knew little more, but I had enjoyed Dr. Money’s conducted tour from one superlative to the next ("longest railway zig-zag in the world," "World’s highest suspension bridge") and from one untranscribable place name to the next, even though all I got. out of it was a surprised impression that Peruvians gindergo even more diabolical forms of Ordeal by Main Trunk. When Dr. Money got on to donkeys (I think this was going down the other side) I felt, contrariwise, far more at home. And by the second talk, "Socialism Among the Incas," I had found my listening feet.
For Dr. Money sheds clear and welcome light on a civilisation which appears to be worth illuminating,' and such Peruvian terms as are essential appear to be of not more than two syllables.
