Just when Kennedy was trying to calm the business community,* Solicitor General Archibald Cox betook himself back to Harvard for a speech calculated to make any businessman blanch with dismay. His message: a way must be found to bring Government into wage-and-price-making decisions on a regular basis and at ''a fairly early stage" in the process. It may be enough for now that the Government "make known, widely and forcefully, the general policies that it thinks would advance the public interest." said Cox, but "there are a number of reasons for thinking that...

In his Institutes, Calvin argued that God has already determined both those who will be saved at the Last Judgment and those who will suffer the eternal pangs of Hell.
