While fate, said Schrade, is that which "is sent to man from above" to govern "all vicissitudes of life," it derives both from the artist's temperament and his historical situation. Any personal best can give rise to tragic expressionism, but fate limits the use of such individuality because it dictates to each age a "constellation from which the tragic is to be inferred...
...anyone would want to govern Michigan is a wonder. The state has deep-seated economic problems, and it is riven by inter-and intraparty bitterness of a sort to make any Governor look bad.

The government's life thus hangs by the thread of approval of two minor parties that hold the tender balance of power...
...dioceses. The council is expected to approve in principle procedures for suppressing small sees and gradually dividing up such cumbersome jurisdictions as Mexico City (the world's largest diocese, with 4,800,000 Catholics) and New York, where Francis Cardinal Spellman needs ten auxiliary bishops to help govern his 1,672,000 communicants...
