...mixture of old and new at the conference was an apt symbol of the state of Orthodoxy, the largest of Judaism's three branches. About a quarter of the 5,600,000 Jews in the U.S. are Orthodox. Elsewhere, a Jew who is at all religiously observant will, more often than not, be Orthodox; of Israel's 6,000 synagogues, only nine are nonOrthodox. Far more than Reform or Conservative Judaism, Orthodoxy lives by the letter of God's law. It accepts every word of the Hebrew Bible as divinely inspired and insists that the God-fearing...
...This country," declares Chile's President Eduardo Frei in an apt simile, "is like the worker who was perfectly happy earning only $50 a month. Then his salary doubles, he moves to a better neighborhood, buys new furniture, better clothes, a TV set. Instead of appreciating what he has gained, he begins grumbling and complaining about what he does not have." Last week Frei had as many grounds for grumbling as any of his striving fellow Chileans.

Movies still make moral points, but the points are rarely driven home in the heavy-hammered old way. And like some of the most provocative literature, the film now is apt to be amoral, casting a coolly neutral eye on life and death and on humanity's most perverse moods and modes...
...moderate Republican, alongside such liberals as Economist John Kenneth Galbraith and Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King, both of whom advocate some sort of guaranteed annual income. In fact, what ideological difference there is on the guaranteed-income issue is largely a matter of emphasis, with conservative supporters apt to put more accent on incentives-and to link their proposals to reductions in what Economist Friedman decries as a "rag bag" of Democrat-administered welfare programs...
