...phrase, however, is worse than vague. For the term suggests a false analogy to Stalinist or Trotskyite (which Ford tries to disavow, though not explicitly). "Maoist" suggests someone under the domination of a rigid, foreign (un-American?) ideology. To call members of Progressive Labor Maoists, in ignorance of the content of their programs, is meaningless: worse, it is dangerously close to red-baiting...
...temporarily, however uneasily. For one thing, liberals have not explored their marvelously traditional device for dealing with radicalism, the method now known as co-optation. For instance, the New Deal (including its latest incarnation, however degraded, as the Great Society) dealt with Norman Thomas by taking some of the content of his proposals, most of the moral rhetoric, and leaving behind only the impulse to socialism, which is what he shared with those further left.

...down their consumption to five grams a day. For those using only the tablets, this should be no problem, since virtually all of them contain only .05 gm. cyclamate. The safety ceiling would therefore be 100 tablets a day. With the soft drinks, the problem is trickier. Their cyclamate content varies, but it ranges up to about one gram in a 12-or 16-oz. bottle or can. Since the FDA recommends that a 60-lb. child's intake not exceed 1.35 gm. daily, this means that two bottles of low-calorie pop could put him over...

Unquestionably, one issue that will be raised is the timing and content of a second major statement on birth control, which the Pope also promised last week. Thanks to the Vatican's laggard communications methods, his encyclical Humanae Vitae was released to the press before most of the world's bishops had received their copies. Its teaching, moreover, disturbed a number of national hierarchies, which subsequently modified its harsh condemnation of contraception as an absolute moral evil. The new encyclical...
