Nearly half of Netherlands New Guinea's 700,000 Papuans still live in primitive villages where the cowrie shell is the medium of exchange and where women often rank below pigs on the social scale. For the primitive tribesmen of the interior, the concept of government does not exist; their only political guideposts are myth and magic. Head-hunting and cannibalism are still practiced in some areas. Some Papuan natives wear no clothes save for string, have no dishes or cooking utensils. They consider death the action of a wizard, often chop off the ends of their fingers...
...feeling that I am not wasting my time when I drive." "The true painter," declares Klein, "is the one who creates nothing visible." Indeed, he calls his art "a voyage through the void of the immaterial." At times Klein's work becomes so immaterial it does not even exist. In his last Paris show he offered for $600 something called A Zone of Immaterial Sensibility, hors série. It was nothing but the "gallery atmosphere...
...Drop of Ink. From his rigorous criticism of such peace mechanisms as exist, one might expect Jaspers to lose hope for the future. Quite the contrary. Fatalism and despair, he argues, rise from certainties that are not really certain. If one atom bomb is dropped, there is no certainty that all will be dropped or that every last man will perish. If humanity is blackmailed into totalitarian slavery out of fear of the bomb, there is also no certainty that in tortuous, labyrinthine ways, man would not eventually recover his freedom...
...union's tax-free status." Probably a greater fear among most unions is voiced by Joseph T. De Silva, Los Angeles local secretary of the Retail Clerks: "These funds are even going to own some corporations before long. When that happens, the traditional union-management rivalry will exist only in negotiations." While businessmen once worried about the prospect of the wealthy unions buying in and dictating to management, some union leaders feel that investments in common stock will have just the opposite effect. The unions will become more aware that if the company suffers, so will its own members...
...reality and of God to that which does not shock me." Christ's last terrible cry on the cross ("My God. my God, why hast thou forsaken me?") strikes Murry as "the agony of foreboding that the God in whom he had believed and trusted did not exist, after all. God was beyond even his understanding. He had taken the risk and lost." Murry goes on to say that Christ had indeed won, though his reasoning is esthetic. Christ, he argues, fired mankind's imagination with the force of his own imagination, by the purity and intensity...
