...that Khrushchev found it necessary to define Communism's goals in American terms-"initiative," "incentives," etc. He told a workers' mass meeting in Leningrad that Communists should "be able to solve the problem of catching up with the U.S.A.," that the Soviet people should have enough meat, butter, milk and fruit, and their shops should be filled with "everything that makes man's life more beautiful...

Justice Brennan dissented because the New York injunctive process provides no trial by jury.

Brilliant Satirist Jean Dutourd (A Dog's Head, The Best Butter) will have little to do with any of these explanations. He refuses to see history in terms of abstract ideas, cycles or forces. He sees it in terms of men-weak or strong, good or bad. wise or stupid, to be judged by such quaint values as honor and courage...
