Five witnesses told the subcommittee that the remedy was to let addicts temporarily get their dope free, or at cost, from public clinics, thus eliminating the narcotics black market. For the New York Academy of Medicine, a physicians' public-service group, Dr. Hubert S. Howe presented a bold program patterned on that used in Britain (which claims to have no more than 400 known addicts and no appreciable black market). Hospitals, said Dr. Howe, should examine, classify and treat addicts, then refer them to specially licensed doctors who would continue treatment. The most drastic break with current U.S. practice...
...with a "fourth revolution": the recent discovery of mesons and numerous other short-lived subatomic particles that are only dimly understood. Mysteries and contradictions are popping up everywhere, and new mathematical tools are being devised for attacking them. Hoyle believes that all the current confusion in astronomy calls for bold theorizing. So in his book he blazes away. Some of his frontier theories...
...complex work of statecraft, put together by some of the most sophisticated political scientists who ever lived. Along with the document there is the constitutional residue of 168 years (this Saturday) of intense legal, political and social history-a coral-like cathedral of precedent, compromise, balance and bold interpretation.

Technical skill is not all a U.S. constitutional lawyer needs. The job is to apply the Constitution to life, which will not sit still...

To publicize his nondenominational First Christian Church, he signed a contract with radio station KOLD to sponsor local night baseball games. Sports-loving Pastor Key, 37, a pitcher in Yuma's adult softball league and a sometime newscaster, did not bear down too heavily on salvation between the innings. His talks-mostly about perseverance, hope, kindness-had plenty of light moments. When the microphone caught a ballplayer cursing, Pastor Key pointed up an alternative to swearing with the story of the Quaker...
...risk of being completely isolated. In the U.S., says Molnar, this sense of isolation is especially acute. Without the classical education that Europeans have in common, the American intellectuals present no common front; since the American people are well off materially, they do not feel the need of the bold sort of vision the intellectual might offer. Besides, "loneliness today is considered a dreadful disease; it is said to be dangerous for 'mental health,' and is feared as an implicit denial of 'social concern.' " The world has all but forgotten that "true leadership . . . demands loneliness...
