...negative way, has been a great teacher. He has demonstrated how dangerous it is to hand over our freedom to a strong presidency. By searching for new leadership, are we admitting our fear of freedom? It would be the finest achievement of civilization if a Martian were to descend and say, "Take me to your leader," and each of us could answer, "You're looking...
...minority class called 'capitalists' and by a market system that determines the incomes and distributes the outputs arising from its productive activity." It is a social order most obviously characterized by an extreme acquisitiveness. This is the economic and social order into which you and I are destined to descend. Certainly, it's only an "ideal type," as Heilbroner calls it--an oversimplified generalization that allows only for high levels of abstraction. Still, it is the force that makes competition as a way of life and allows about one fifth of this nation's population to enjoy roughly...

As the subs plunge two miles down, they will descend into a world of inky darkness where even their powerful spotlights will be unable to penetrate more than a few dozen feet. Pressure will be great enough (about 2 tons per sq. in.) to crush ordinary submarines. Indeed, the scientists have already had a preview of the project's perils. Last summer, during preliminary surveying, the Archimède crashed into rocks several times when it was tossed about by the strong bottom currents. The little sub had another...
