...really believes that Communism in Eastern Europe is about to wither and die, but there are striking signs that there is less of the Stalinist sort of repression and a chance for a freer life (see THE WORLD). "There is a long-term trend working here," says a State Department official, "one of loosening relations between the East European countries and the Soviet Union. They are growing less dependent on Moscow, more assertive. And if relations between the West and the Soviets improve, the satellite countries are going to be able to broaden their contacts with the West...
...others. Man's aggression finds an outlet, one way or another, De Sade was convinced. Better for him to discharge his aggressions by whipping a sex partner than in repressing them, for they would reappear unconsciously in more virulent forms: legal punishment, revolution, war. In an era of freer discussion of sex and its meaning, the reasons for revival of interest in De Sade are perhaps best indicated by the opinion of Simone de Beauvoir: "Sade drained to the dregs the moment of selfishness, injustice and misery. He chose cruelty rather than indifference. This is probably why he finds...
...Common Market levy threatens to close U.S. poultry farmers' richest export market. In a broader sense, the chicken tariff has become the test of whether the Common Market really wants freer trade with the U.S. After Europeans-and chiefly the Germans-began developing a taste for chicken five years ago, U.S. exports rose spectacularly, reaching $28 million in 1962's first six months. Then the great chicken war opened when the Common Market, spurred by its own poultry raisers, last year began raising the tariff on U.S. chickens to cut the heavy flow. Result: U.S. exports have since...
...Kantian sense an end rather than a means. In this century the ideal of unity, of ecumenicity, has strongly reappeared. There is no denying that this diminishes the individual's feeling of freedom, his sense of controlling his own destiny. Much has been lost since a simpler, freer day. But no one can turn back. The U.S. cannot break up the organization any more than the 19th century could break the machines, even though the Luddites tried it. Nor is a return possible from much-denounced "mass culture" to the "folk art" of old (which, as it happens, is largely...
...rules and brightening the students, Notre Dame's President Theodore M. Hesburgh has been trying to create the liveliest Roman Catholic university in the U.S. But in the past "winter of discontent," as he and Jack Kennedy put it, Hesburgh has been repaid with student editorials crying for freer rules and for his removal in favor of "a renowned lay educator." Result: faculty censorship of three articles in the magazine Scholastic, the resignation of three student editors; and a sizzling letter from Hesburgh to all 6,700 students...
