...END OF LIBERALISM, by Theodore J. Lowi. Much liberal policy but little liberalizing practice has characterized the U.S. Government for more than 30 years, says this University of Chicago professor, who argues for a dumping of pragmatism and political pluralism in favor of tough, well-planned and enforced Government standards...
...Since the judges for the American Heritage's dictionary have decreed the death penalty for all who use like as a conjunction [Aug. 22], a hangman's noose would have been the appropriate end for Elyot, Shakespeare, Smollett, Southey, Newman, Washington Irving, Darwin and William Morris (of Morris chair fame, not the dictionary's editor). Edmund Spenser should perhaps have been flogged for anticipating the TVese use of host as a transitive verb. Since advise in the sense of "notify" is business and Army English, Willa Gather and Sir Richard Steele must have been members...
...anyone who has ever written a letter to the editors already knows, TIME'S weekly contract with its readers does not end once the magazine goes to press. Every one of the 1,000 or more letters that arrive in the mail each week receives a reply from TIME'S Letters Department, which is headed by Maria Luisa Cisneros and staffed by 13 assistants.

Terrifying Reminder. Few courses are, in fact, open to the Arabs short of all-out war-and most military analysts believe that the Israelis would win decisively again. But guerrilla action is one potent tactic available to the Arabs. At week's end, George Habash, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, vowed that his guerrillas would attack Jewish property everywhere-U.S. holdings as well, because of Washington's support of Israel. A few hours later, the front claimed that its members were responsible for hijacking a TWA jetliner, bound from Rome...
Paisley will soon be defusing the situation by his absence. He will visit the U.S. next month, presumably to counteract Bernadette. At week's end a two-man Protestant "truth squad" arrived in New York for the same purpose and got off to a flying start by describing Bernadette as "Fidel Castro in a miniskirt." The truth squad was also expected to emphasize Bernadette's lackluster performance as one of Ulster's twelve representatives at Westminster; since her election last April, she has turned up for very few sessions. What is more, Kenneth Lewis, a Tory...
