...military objectives with nuclear weapons might be morally more justifiable than the bombing of cities with TNT. However, the moral condemnation of nuclear war is relatively obvious and easy. What is often overlooked is the fact that the very horror of using nuclear weapons may have inaugurated a new era in which limited, conventional wars are likelier than before. It is precisely in such limited conflicts that the old just-war principles seem pertinent again. Some churchmen deny this. Says the Rev. Paul Oestreicher of the British Council of Churches: "If the technical criteria of the just war are taken...
...university's era of innovation began under the Rev. Vincent T. O'Keefe, who left the presidency in 1965 to serve as a Jesuit executive in Rome, and is being enthusiastically carried on by his successor, Father Leo McLaughlin, 54. A onetime dean of Fordham College who has a doctorate of letters from the University of Paris, Jesuit McLaughlin wants Fordham to achieve "true greatness in action," even by Ivy League standards. While Fordham will always retain "the distinctive attributes of a Catholic university," he is confident that it can "move into the mainstream" of U.S. education...
...capitalism is "on the defensive" and distrusts the "North Atlantic Protestant atmosphere" that favors private initiative. "Only totalitarianism and Communist compulsion," he says, "have succeeded in lifting poverty-stricken countries onto the road of progressive improvement." Balogh's tune has hardly changed a note since the early postwar era, when he proclaimed confidently that only the long continuance of direct economic controls could restore Europe's prosperity...

The underworld economy probably grew out of the Prohibition-era bootleg liquor industry, which "may have put underworld business in the U.S. in what economic developers call the 'takeoff' into self-sustained growth...
...that we would not change our policy on armed robbery. And evidently we are changing our policy on birth control. The usury laws may to some extent be a holdover from medieval economics; and some of the laws on prostitution, abortion and contraception were products of the Victorian era and reflect the political power of various church groups. One cannot even deduce from the existence of abortion laws that a majority of the voters, even a majority of enlightened voters, oppose abortion; and the wise money would probably bet that the things that we shall be forbidding in fifty years...
