...institutionalize socialism but to institutionalize revolution. To prod the country's historically passive masses into a ceaseless struggle for the new world, writes University of Michigan Political Scientist Richard Solomon, Mao made virtues of hostility and aggression, the two human characteristics most deeply suppressed by the Confucian ethic. "The more one hates the old society," Mao reasoned, "the more one will love the party and the new society." Notes Solomon: "Mao believes the intense sentiment of aggression is the only force powerful enough to sustain the involvement of China's peasants and workers in the tasks of social...
...fact, interest in candles seems to run highest among the hippier young, imbued as they are with the back-to-nature ethic. A favorite at Reflections, located in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, is a nine-inch replica of President Nixon billed as: "The Melting of the President," or "Now You Can Own the Most-Talked-About Bust in Years: Drippy Dick." For those with positive sentiments about peace, Chicago's Jack B Nimble sells candle peace symbols at $2.50 and the word peace in candle block letters for $6.

The peasant who did not labor hard simply starved, partly because medieval lords took as much as 80% of his rice crop in taxes. Necessity was transmuted into virtue: the busy man is a good...
ANOTHER reason for the machine's succes?? Daley's ability to manipulate white fears. His famous shoot-to-kill order is one example of this. His criticisms of Martin Luther King (before his death, of course) are another. Moreover, Daley firmly believes in the American ethic of upward mobility. When a nun who did social work on the West Side visited Daley to tell him of the poverty she had seen, Daley, in a long-winded reply, pointed out to the nun that their "grandparents can?? here with nothing," The blacks, he said, "should lift themselves up by their bootstraps...
