...prejudiced Lutherans, A Study of Generations asserts, are not authentically orthodox. They tend to be "law-oriented" rather than Gospel-oriented. Law-oriented Lutherans show a distinct need for religious absolutism and a marked intolerance for change. In the authors' stinging words, they are people who would exploit both religion and society "for personal peace and pleasure." They would also "tyrannize man, impose a Utopia, and win heaven by doing the works of the law." Such attitudes, the authors conclude, exemplify what Lutherans have historically feared as "practical atheism...
...does not seem to be Nixon's nature to offer bold leadership at home. He is too cautious, too prudent, too indebted to the interests that are satisfied with things as they are. Nixon's closest domestic advisers are forever searching for political openings that they can exploit; to some of them, the care and feeding of the nation are almost incidental. There is no White House counselor on U.S. matters with the intelligence and skill of Kissinger, a phenomenon seldom seen in U.S. Government. The President needs half a dozen domestic Kissingers...
...engineers capture sulfurous, superheated steam hissing from natural vents and drilled wells in the earth's surface and use it to drive turbines. There is some question whether such techniques would work where there are no natural vents. The Los Alamos National Laboratory is now trying to exploit the dry, hot (600° F.) granite that underlies most of the earth. Scientists plan to sink two holes 15,000 ft. deep, then pump cold water down one well and let hot steam flow up the other. If successful, the dry-rock system might provide, says one scientist...
Pete Huntsman stresses the element of pride going into today's race. "We're Harvard, and by being Harvard we have a great psychological advantage," he said. "If we exploit it we can't be beaten. But all things considered, it boils down to this: It's going to be one scraunchy race. Whoever's balls get caught in the slide first is going to lose...
...cruel irony that the Portuguese have frequently, in their pro-colonial propaganda, made the claim that they are less racially prejudiced than other European colonizers because of their demonstrably greater propensity to sexually exploit native women, and their willingness to accept the social and racial superiority of the product of their miscegenation over the pure-blooded natives. Astonishingly, white Americans have shown a marked susceptibility to this form of propaganda, but it is hardly a view of race relations which is likely to impress black Americans. And, as the dismal fate of black Brazilians clearly indicate, the social and economic...
