...funny to me that in your hue and cry over the decline of the family [Dec. 28] you didn't cite more alternatives. For instance, marriage is rough, but being unattached is miserable; motherhood is tiring, but childlessness is boring and has no future; being a "nuclear" or isolated family unit is pressure-causing but draws on unseen potential; and most important, that religion is the hope of mankind. Why else would we poor slobs slave away in deference to "the long run" except because it's right...
Wolfe bolsters his argument with a little historical run-through, drawing some interesting parallels to 19th century society. He even cites social thinkers- Vernon L. Parrington, Wolfe identifies as "the literary historian," while managing to cite the triad of Seymour Martin Lipset, Nathan Glazer, and Kenneth Keniston in one of the sentences that follows- but more in the way of demonstrating his own brand of Academic Chic.

Government ministries sponsor hortatory weekly series with resistible titles like...

In several states, lawyers are allowed to cite medical textbooks as expert testimony in some malpractice cases. Under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur (the thing speaks for itself), a plaintiff proves a major portion of his case when he shows that his injuries would not normally have occurred without negligence. In turn, the defendant is forced to produce evidence that he was not negligent. Doctors' changing...
...cite as an example of such a conclusion the CRIMSON'S pronouncement that "each client nation [of the DAS] was headed by a non-Communist government which remained open and often friendly to American capital investment." The CRIMSON seems to be saying that the DAS is so interested in supporting American capital abroad that it gravitates toward countries that are "open" and "friendly" to the American investor...
