...biggest in the West, has shrunk from a peak of 2,500,000 to 1,700,000 last year.

All of this confounds Leninist-Stalinist dogma, which in 1952 predicted that the industrially advanced nations would destroy themselves in a shooting war over foreign markets. The combined industrial potential of Western Europe, the U.S. and Britain will for an indefinite period far outweigh the potential of the Red bloc...

Also necessary is the revitalization of the Jewish religion, not in terms of dogma but in terms of human experience. Dr. Kaplan has no patience, for instance, with the ancient doctrine of the Jews as God's chosen people; he banishes this from Reconstructionist education with the same gusto that he eliminated a "bloodthirsty" Jehovah who would slay the Egyptians' firstborn...
