...from Today's Philosophers (Jan. 7). "More than anything else," he wrote us, "those two pages helped to wrap up a semester's course in modern philosophy-and just in time for the final exam." Protestant Theologian Henry P. Van Dusen deemed On Death As a Constant Companion (Nov. 12) "the most masterly in a notable sequence...
...early church fathers would have examined Adman Ogilvy carefully for horns and a cloven hoof if they had heard his contemptuous put-down of patience, a paramount Christian virtue. St. Paul rated it a "fruit of the spirit" and St. Augustine called it "the companion of wisdom." Saints had it: the ultimate in provocation is proverbially "enough to try the patience of a saint."

In many countries in both Africa and Asia, every job from minister down to doorman is considered a sinecure to be purchased. Corruption is so much a companion of nationhood in some countries that it has become an integral part of the fabric of government. When the army took over in Nigeria in January, they found that Finance Minister Okotie-Eboh had arbitrarily raised tariffs to protect his own private shoe factory, and for a price was willing...
