...liberal ; he will identify tolerance with indifference to right and wrong, truth and error; he will spread the lie that men will never be better until they make society better and thus have selfishness to provide fuel for the next revolution ; he will foster science but only to have armament makers use one marvel of science to destroy another; he will foster more divorces under the disguise that another partner is 'vital'; he will invoke religion to destroy religion; he will even speak of Christ and say that he was the greatest man who ever lived; his mission...
During the war, Dr. Frank ("Soul Surgeon") Buchman and his bright-eyed disciples of Moral Re-Armament concentrated on the U.S. Last spring they bounced back across the Atlantic, to set about "changing" Europe (TIME, May 13) with their "ABSOLUTE HONESTY, ABSOLUTE PURITY, ABSOLUTE UNSELFISHNESS AND ABSOLUTE LOVE...

Since October 29, the Assembly had been bogged down in a fruitless discussion of disarmament and atomic control. Russia had championed the publication of armament statistics but had opposed an inspection system or the abrogation of the veto in matters concerning disarmament. Exactly why the Soviet delegation about-faced is not clear, and all sorts of motives from the most base to the most noble have been advanced; but on November 29 Mr. Molotov agreed to an international arms inspection, and five days later came...
