Interspersed with diverse lectures and classroom activities were periods of financial difficulty, military service, and employment as a private tutor, all of which added to the curious melange of experiences that would ultimately blossom into his unexpected and remarkable life's work. --Norman Brosterman, [1]Inventing Kindergarten The smell in the car... was a pungent, sour melange of garlic, unwashed bodies, vodka, musty woolen overcoats, and Bulgarian tobacco. --Fen Montaigne, [2]Reeling in Russia Many books in popular psychology are a melange of the author's comments, a dollop of research, and stupefyingly dull transcriptions from interviews. --Carol Tavris, "A Remedy But Not a Cure," [3]New York Times, February 26, 1989 _________________________________________________________ Melange derives from Old French meslance, from mesler, "to mix," ultimately from Latin miscere, "to mix."
