...since Dick Nixon's 1960 campaign visit. Close to 25,000 people -in 10,000 cars-turned out when Evangelist Billy Graham, 48, came to town to help fellow evangelist and millionaire, Oral Roberts, 49, dedicate his new Oral Roberts University, whose philosophy of education is "to develop the mind, the body-and the soul." Set on a 450-acre campus in suburban Tulsa, the modernistic school already has an enrollment of 546 students, mostly children of Oral Roberts' "Pentecostal Holiness" followers. And Gra ham predicted a vast spread of religious education in the U.S., with O.R.U. blazing...
Instead of worrying about a payments deficit equal to a mere ½% of the total U.S. output of goods and services, said Peterson, Washington should develop a new "global economic strategy" that recognizes the extraordinary strength of the U.S. economy. "The anxiety at home and abroad over the soundness of the dollar," he insisted, "is grossly exaggerated.

Further indications of the failure of the communist regimes to develop "communist morality," and inculcate communist-defined "ideal types," can be seen in the results of a survey of Hungarian school children.

They will fail to the extent they are unsuccessful in developing in the minds of young people an identity between Marxism-Leninism as an image of an ideal society, and Marxism-Leninism as a cumulative body of practice...
...culture of the students: By now there are enough students associated together in large enough groups and for long enough periods of time and with enough freedom so that an independent student culture can develop with its own dress, style of behaviour, code of ethics. It can have a particularly strong hold on a large campus which provides little contact with faculty, administration and parents. Such a student culture reinforces itself and gives a sense of protection against external threats. It may attract to itself the related culture of the non-student and draw in some faculty adherents...
