...Opitz. in his speech entitled "The Moral Case for Capitalism," said the average person tends to attribute all sorts of evils to the capitalist system. "It is fallacious," he said, "to blame the troubles of the world on capitalism. The features of our time--secularism, nationalism, democracy in its sense, and utilitarianism are at fault," he concluded...
...lethargic gathering of scarcely 30 people, even though she was speaking in the grimy 18th arrondissement, the reddest of the Red districts of Paris. In tiny Ecurie (pop. 362), only 15 men and a runny-nosed boy turned out to hear Socialist Guy Mollet review his premiership, blame "the Americans" for preventing the Anglo-French conquest of Suez. Were any problems bothering his listeners? he asked. "Classrooms for our children," responded...

And he seems to have ignored almost completely the extraordinary religious depths of the man, as expressed, for instance, in the amen he sings to life...
Temby's statistics reveal a startling fact: Harvard students kill themselves one and one half times as fast as Yalies. Although he admits that New Haven record-keeping may be to blame, figures show that the Sons of Eli decrease at a rate of about one per year. One psychiatrist reported that the highest suicide rate is not in the Ivy League at all, but at Tokyo University, were the harakiri cult is lived to the hilt...
