...brief drama, shown recently on CBS evening news, has been replayed in a hundred variations since TV turned its cameras on the war. The principals may change, the settings may alter, but the essentials are always the same: destruction and death, horror and heroics in a brutal struggle against an unseen enemy of unknown character. The TV correspondents, stern faced and looking somehow too neat and clean-shaven, are omnipresent. But their words, imposed on scenes of stark and often shocking realism, seem superfluous.

...enactment of the Freedom Budget would not only dramatically affect the lives of thousands of disadvantaged Americans.

In the fourth volume of his memoirs, entitled Post-War Years: 1945-54, Novelist Ilya Ehrenburg wrote that "it is far easier to change policy and the economic system than to alter human consciousness." Russians, said Ehrenburg, who died in September, "have been unable to divest themselves of a sense of constriction, of fear, of casuistry, of survivals from the past." Today, most Russians long only for a quiet life, a little more freedom, a few more privileges, a bit more self...
