...these Constitutional questions: Senator Goldwater apparently places little stock in the "necessary and proper" and "general welfare" clauses. The wisdom of the ages did not stop accumulating in 1789, and if a nation is to live fruitfully in a changing world, its Constitution must be a reasonably flexible document, laying down a framework for dealing with problems beyond the foresight of the drafters. Why does the Constitution not mention agriculture or education? Because the twentieth century, post-frontier farm problem was something inconceivable to the framers; and because public education was a negligible affair until the middle of the nineteenth...

Both of the actors, Emmanuele Riva and Eiji Okada, perform excellently--she with an old woman's weariness--he with a solid diffidence which is never completely penetrated.

Sample quote from one version of the fake oath: * "I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, wage relentless war, secretly...
...staff writer and author (The Frozen Revolution, Five Gentlemen of Japan), warns earnestly: "Older powers than ours have been fatally undermined when the gap grew too great between the citizen's private sense of wrong and the public morality to which he and his fellows were pledged." To document the gap, Gibney attempts to chronicle every conceivable device of legal and illegal corner cutting, bunching them all into what might be termed Gibney's Unified Sociological Field Theory of the "Genial Society...
