...Investigation by Peter Weiss. If one had to select the single most infamous word for the most infamous deed of the 20th century, the word would probably be "Auschwitz."

This week, when the New York Society for Ethical Culture-mother chapter of the nationwide American Ethical Union-celebrates its 90th anniversary, it can take credit for enough good deeds to honor spiritual institutions ten times as big. Over the years, members have been responsible for creating the N.A.A.C.P., the American Civil Liberties Union, the Legal Aid Society, the Visiting Nurse Service, and the nation's first settlement house...
