...U.S.S.R. in 1956. But Indonesia has accepted 4,500 Russian jeeps (purchased with a $6,000,000 credit), and near Djokjakarta 40 East German technicians, backed up by a $13 million East German credit, are rebuilding a war-damaged sugar mill.

According to Lerner, the U.S. has been spared such potential dangers as the tyranny of the majority and the asocial anarchy of rampant individualism through the checks and balances of "pluralism." A diversity of cultural strains -ethnic, regional, religious-has simultaneously...
