Much more relevant to this century is the antinomian facet of Gordon's thought, which Leifer rejects as being alien to the Jewish tradition. Maybe that's why I like it (some of my best friends work for Mosaic, don't forget.) The antinomian (existentialist is the current word, I suppose) bias of thinkers like Gordon and Buber clearly do clash with law-centered traditional Judaism. But the absence of an absolute ground for morality in these two writers is not, as Leifer says, evidence that Judaism today lacks vigor. Rather, it is a token that Gordon and Buber...
...parliamentarians elected by and from the members' national legislatures. But the Treaty of Rome stipulates that in time the representatives are to be elected by direct vote of the Community's populations. Though their work is often highly technical, the men who run the Common Market seldom forget ultimate purpose: "Make no mistake about it," says the European Commission's president, German Economist Walter Hallstein, "we are not in business, we are in politics.

Casals seemed unbothered; his back to the sea, he swung into Bach's Sonata in G. Performers who had been worried about the open theater's acoustics soon learned to forget their fears.

The wide-ranging plot, based on Dello Joio's own scenario, gave Designer Rouben Ter-Arutunian ample scope for lush sets that imparted a sense of grandeur to the opera's five scenes. American Soprano Mary Costa, who played Ninette, sang beautifully but seemed lost in the schmalz...
...Pulling up to the town's community center, where a Republican women's federation waited to hear him, Goodie turned for a moment to his wife Virginia, who had accompanied him. "Honey." he asked, "why don't I just take the salary and the pension and forget about all this?" Without pausing, he continued: "I'll tell you why. In two days I'd have itchy feet again. I can't keep out of it. I love this state and I loved being Governor, and I'm going to make another push...
