In a world that dictated brainwashing, Professor Motaș has lectured on the brain

Sometimes lectures turned into trials. Thus the university professor Constantin Motaș, sentenced to twenty-five years for the simple reason that he was a social democrat in the C.C. of the PSD-Titel Petrescu, lectured for an hour every day for a month in a room in Jilava on the brain. Everyone had the duty and the right to speak and was encouraged to do so.
