Soviet journalists who are sent abroad, said Ehrenburg, rarely demonstrate any enterprise; they are content to feed back the cliches their editors seem to want. "How silly, for instance, to deduce 'excesses of capitalism' from the fact that in England there exist barbershops for dogs and in France there is even a restaurant for them." People who are kind to dogs, said Ehrenburg, are likely to be kind to human beings. "After all, we too are admonishing our street urchins to love cats and dogs instead of torturing them."

...Chicken Feed. In fact, though few would admit it, most Congressmen welcomed the return to Washington for at least a few days a week. Not only could they thus find a respite from the grind of campaigning, but could also explain to constituents-at every opportunity-that urgent affairs of state demanded their presence in the Capital...

The authoritarian sounds bossy, the abdicator yields in arguments, the critic criticizes, and it is all supposedly plain-often painfully plain to the subject himself-when the others' observations of him begin to "feed back." If things go well, a kind of agape results. If not, the practice can be dangerous: nervous breakdowns have occasionally resulted from the intense personal exposure. These sensitivity sessions have developed a vocabulary that is fairly typical of today's popular psychology, some of its leading terms being...
