These qualms would not have embarrassed the Founding Fathers, who had a healthy 18th century distrust of democracy, and they should not bother Kennedy's supporters. Those liberals who advocate reform of the college in the name of democracy are preaching an unreal politics, for liberal reform has an investment in the present electoral apparatus. Under the system as it stands, counting each state's vote as a bloc favors the states with large urban populations and gives decisive influence to minority groups within these states. Anyone who doubts this can look at the enormous (and correct) importance attached...
...Barth, reject the Thomist theory of analogy on which the natural law stands; in fallen man, they hold, sin has shattered God's image, and since the Garden of Eden he has had no direct knowledge of God's reason or his will without revelation. Many Protestants distrust the whole Scholastic tradition, which they feel keeps man from direct contact with God by interposing an artificial structure of reason.

(Presumably this distrust of planning is the reason why the U.S. Congress continually refuses to extend the Mutual Security program beyond a length of one year. The many unhappy results of this policy--technicians abandoning projects for which funds were not renewed, bridges half-built, food improperly stored--surely should have convinced congressmen that...
...influence China's internal political life, we must nevertheless seek to end Chin's international quarantine, initiate an exchange of people, ideas and goods, and bring the mainland Chinese into major international negotiations. We must try to change the international atmosphere, to break through the vicious circle of distrust which transforms negotiations into propaganda battles, and deepens the world's despair...
