...That is what the court has apparently been asked to do in the pending cases that you so compellingly described. It seems particularly doubtful that the responsibility for devising fair and effective criminal processes should rest entirely on the court at a time when, as now, so many other expert bodies are grappling with the confession dilemma. The American Law Institute, the President's Crime Commission and other groups are trying to provide the information needed for intelligent decision. There surely is a strong argument against the freezing of any particular formula into the Constitution before this process...
McKenzie is that rarity among academics, the readable expert: his trim prose glitters with aphorisms-and with, for a Catholic priest, unconventional ideas. He has kind words to say for Protestant Demythologizer Rudolf Bultmann, carefully argues that parts of the Gospels are not historical in the modern sense, accepts the validity of form criticism, which assumes that certain sayings of Jesus were created by the early church. Under the circumstances, it is no surprise that the Vatican regards him as a rather disturbing thinker. Besides the normal prepublication censorship to which all priest-scholars must submit, McKenzie has to have...
What makes McKenzie's scholarly prestige all the more impressive is the fact that he is largely a self-made expert who spent only a year in doctoral studies and taught himself most of the ten languages he reads, writes or speaks.

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, John Kenneth Galbraith, the former U.S. Ambassador to India, was asked about Viet Nam. Said Galbraith: "I have said many times that if we were not involved there, I think that all of that part of the world would be enjoying the obscurity that it richly deserves...
...absolutely all white men everywhere. In his 1964 play, The Toilet, Jones gave painful promise of developing gifts as a writer. In this disjointed collection of essays, the promise is flatly withdrawn. Jones clings raptly to his privileged role as victim, and has settled for a career as blackwash expert. He modestly admits to black sexual superiority: "Most American white men are trained to be fags." Insult, in fact, is his single weapon: "The American policeman is the foulest social category in the world today." "The white man, at this point in history, is the major obstruction on the path...
