		<description>That bit has also stuck with me since I&#039;ve read it the first twenty years ago.  I lines up nicely with a note from the first Intermission in Heinlein&#039;s _Time Enough for Love_:

&quot;A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! &quot;</description>
