Essence & Integrity. The better the defense, the crueler the dilemma for Buddhists and the more awkward the questions that arise. Can Buddhism accommodate itself to nationalism and the modern desires for material advancement, which are seemingly the very opposite of Buddhist doctrine? The author's answer: "If Buddhism does not adapt, it will become a cultural fossil. If it adapts too much, it becomes adulterated and loses its essence and integrity." It is the search for the middle way between these two alternatives, suggests Schecter, that causes the painful grimace so often discernible today on the new face...

The AAAAS was urged to strike out the discriminatory clause and, implicitly, substitute one of membership by invitation. Armah would have none of this. He kept telling the undergraduates, especially the American Ntgroes who were willing to accept the "final club" compromise...
...Mills attempt to probe the arts. He should have tried.

And aside from the fact that...
...from within the Harvard community to speak about our own areas of direct experience. This may be before undergraduate clubs and special graduate groups, at seminars and panel discussions, and so forth. Most of us have taught a noncredit, extracurricular seminar for undergraduates, on such subjects as "The Racial Dilemma," "Candidate Strategy and Decision-Making," and "Working Group on Poverty in Boston."

We do not masquerade as Faculty members, but we do believe that our practical, operational experience in government and politics...
