...sense of being simple and straightforward rather than complicated. We're the country of the endless frontier, of the big sky, of manifest destiny, of unlimited resources, of 'Go west, young man,' of opportunity for all, of rags to riches, mass production, nothing to fear but fear itself, technical know-how, a chicken in every pot, gung-ho and can do. We have won all the marbles-and it just isn't enough. Further, the U.S. of A. knows or feels that it is not enough. We have been primarily concerned to establish a form...
...Herbert McCabe, 40, as editor of the zesty Catholic monthly New Blackfriars. What triggered the firing was an editorial by McCabe in the magazine's February issue commenting on the defection of Theologian Charles Davis (TIME, Dec. 30). His charges that the church was "racked by fear" and dominated by authority rather than truth, said McCabe, "seem to be very well founded; the church is quite plainly corrupt." But McCabe added that it was the duty of Catholics to remain in the church and attempt to reform...
...overcome is that between itself and the bulk of the population, the working people, without whom no war can be fought, without whom nothing moves. Many workers are hostile to the anti-war movement. They often see us as a buch of cowards pretending moral opposition to disguise plain fear.

Mr. Reed wrote with skill and insight; he did a far better job than one usually finds in such sketches. But in trying to picture for us possibly the most influential figure in the turbulent Harvard community of the last quarter-century he attempted something of more than ordinary difficulty. The plain truth, I think, is that some people are too varied in their energy, their interests, their influence to be caught...
...followers but irks so many anti-McLuhanians, he compares present times with the late medieval era, when tribal thought was giving way to print-processed "linear" thought, and finds in both the medieval theme of the Dance of Death and today's Theater of the Absurd a similar fear of changing technology. Says he: "Both represent a common failure: the attempt to do a job demanded by the new environment with the tools of the old." To a degree, the same could be said of this book. It is stimulating enough, yet for best therapeutic effect, McLuhan...
