...Pretty complicated question, too. Education ought to stop war. Milton's definition would be appropriate, with some modifications of course. "I call therefore, a complete and generous education that which fits men to perform justly, skillfully and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, of peace and war." That is one of the best definitions of education I know. One of the best things that education should do is to educate people...
Last September, non-Communist negotiators sat down with managers of the biggest nationalized industry in France, the Renault automobile company, employer of 51,000 workers.

But the travelers had no chance to put up Christmas trees of their own. Last week the Kremlin called for the complete reorganization of the building industry, ripped into Soviet architects for "neglecting the need to create conveniences for the population." Deprived of their Stalin prizes, the architects were accused of building "utterly unjustified tower superstructures, decorative colonnades and porticoes . . . as a result of which...
