...before and after so to speak. Here is a man who lived in China for about fifteen years before the Revolution, speaks the language, and knows personally China's top leaders. Yet he is an American who admires what is most American in the Chinese Revolution--the new work ethic, social equality, and even some of the puritanism.

In the classes of Historian Aaron Abell, a Catholic, "the Christian ethic is not stressed at all." A political science course, on the other hand, devotes half its reading to Augustine and Aquinas. Papal encyclicals on social justice show up in economics. Biology and the dogma of virgin birth do not conflict because, in Hesburgh's view, "biology does not study miracles."
