Brooke has never rallied his race to challenge segregation barriers with the inspirational fervor of a Martin Luther King. Unlike Thurgood Marshall, Roy Wilkins or Philip Randolph, he has not been a standard-bearer in the civil rights movement. He has made none of the volatile public breakthroughs to equality of a Jackie Robinson or a James Meredith. He has triggered none of the frustrated fury of a Stokely Carmichael, written none of the rancorous tracts of a James Baldwin or a LeRoi Jones, drawn none of the huzzahs of a Louis Armstrong or a Joe Louis, a Willie Mays...
...Romney absolved Goldwater of personal blame for the 1964 convention's failure to adopt a strong civil rights plank-but at the same time damned him as an indifferent campaigner. He recalled how the G.O.P. standard-bearer had admitted to him that he, Goldwater, "read only a few sections of the platform and didn't know what amendments were being offered"-incredible as that seems. He also exonerated Goldwater of making a "deal" with Southern segregationists because "you were obviously leaving many vital things almost entirely to others...
Though the Law School has nine Negroes, it also still has its die-hard segregationists. But most of them are clearly on the defensive. In the last few months, Dave Clark, a freshman, has become the standard bearer in a small-scale campaign to return segregation and conservatism to the Law School.

Self-Directed, Self-Motivated. Even so, Reagan is persistently labeled a secret standard-bearer for Goldwater. One reason is that he has stubbornly refused to repudiate the John Birch Society, arguing-as Goldwater did in '64 -that "if anyone chooses to support me, they're buying my views; I'm not buying theirs." Most Republicans are undisturbed, if not particularly pleased, by Reagan's attitude. Says former State G.O.P. Chairman Caspar Weinberger, a moderate: "I see no eventuality that Reagan will be influenced by the Birchers. He is willing to surround himself with people of many...
...Holy Spirit has always been a recondite concept. The Old Testament prophets first spoke of ruach, the "breath" or spirit of God, which manifested itself as a wind, or sometimes as fire. The New Testament mentions the Holy Spirit 88 times variously as the "spirit of truth," the bearer of "witness," and the "promise of the Father," but gives no further definition. Not until the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople in the 4th century was Christian Trinitarianism proclaimed: one God in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Contemporary religious thinkers do not seek to redefine the Spirit, but rather...
