This enables us to see how thoroughly bourgeois the assumptions of even political radicals are. For fight it as we do, the belief that personality transcends politics is tied up with the very basis of our thinking. We could no more discard that belief than we could our sexual urges. Yet that belief is as ideologically charged as, say, the belief in the inevitability of class conflict. It is essential to capitalist rhetoric. To enshrine it artistically is to vitiate the power of any contending political and moral principles. When the issues are cast in these terms, however implicitly...
...impasse at the Paris talks is now history. It is time for Americans to discard their wartime grudges. As you commented on January 31, we all make mistakes. And as your National Security Affairs adviser remarked, none of us holds any monopoly over morality. Why, then, do you continue to insist that draft evaders be punished by the courts?

To kick out of earth orbit (which requires much less thrust than an earth launch), the 270-ft.-long ships will fire-and then discard-the two outboard NERVAs strapped to their sides; the main booster, at the center of the engine cluster, will be retained. Then, as the two ships pull away from earth orbit, they will be docked end to end to form a single unit within which the crews can pass back...
...first Helmreich and Prescott attributed the phenomenon to the intellectual stimulation mothers provide in trying to cope with the restlessness of bedridden youngsters. The researchers had to discard the theory when they also found the Teddy Roosevelt effect in Navy enlisted men who came, not from middle-and upper-middle-class homes like those of the aquanauts, but from lower-middle-class backgrounds that did not encourage study or reading. An alternative explanation, suggests Helmreich, may be that "children who are sick more often are more isolated from others of their own age and so they tend to use adults...
