...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. But some Protestant theologians, while far from accepting the classical Catholic version, are ready to underwrite natural law in some form. Reinhold Niebuhr denies the existence of natural...
...jammed the Syria Mosque and 1,000 more swarmed outside, and in Cincinnati (18,000 partisans), the Vice President got echoing ovations, clenched his fist and raked Kennedy. The rise in the price of gold on the international markets (see BUSINESS) was a result of the world's distrust of Kennedy's avowed economic policies, he said. "He's been up three times," cried Nixon to the baseball-conscious Pittsburghers. "He's struck out three times, and now he wants to be the cleanup hitter!"

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...
...near revolution in 1956, he defied Khrushchev's threat to turn Soviet troops loose on Warsaw and granted his people considerable economic and social freedom. But as Poland's deep economic difficulties and bitter church-state conflict showed no signs of solution, his natural crotchetiness and distrust of "liberals" reasserted itself. (Says one of his associates: "Asking Gomulka to be reasonable and listen to advice is like asking a bear to be good-natured.") Bit by bit, the liberties of Poland's people have been curtailed, and the world has learned that though Wladyslaw Gomulka...
