...Hitler now criticizes the U.S. in its confrontation with Asian Communism. Niebuhr and Bennett say that a nation at times has a "moral obligation" to check power with power, but they advocate a negotiated end to the fighting in Viet Nam, a position that some critics feel is surprisingly akin to the antiwar view the magazine opposed in 1941. "We hope we are still Christian realists," Bennett writes in the anniversary issue, "and that we are as 'realistic' in emphasizing the limited relevance of American military power today as we were in calling for its use to defeat...

...family who had opened their home and hearts to us, a lovely, gentle, gracious girl who planned to enter nurse's training when she is graduated from high school this June. She must be one of the sweetest, prettiest girls in creation. Then anger rose in us--a feeling akin, I suppose, to the feeling of a white man for the sanctity of southern womanhood. Helen, trash? We should have left his office then, for we were no longer free...
