...only thing that can make you small is to have eternity in a grain of sand, you know. Some religions would say one can strive, but Zen would say even to strive is to miss the satori. The goal is being rather than becoming. This is again where I feel that the mystical movements are the most technologically sophisticated political movements now operating. They make everything in Herman Kahn and the Club of Rome seem incredibly naive...
...Revolutionary War; one ancestor, David Shriver, was a member of the original Bill of Rights Congress, and Sargent's grandfather rode with Jeb Stuart in the Confederate cavalry. Son of a banker, Robert Sargent Shriver Jr. was born in Westminster, Md., where the nearby family homestead and grain mill, built in 1797, is now a museum run by the Shriver Foundation. Sargent prepped at Canterbury School, New Milford, Conn., went on to graduate cum laude from Yale. As editor of the Yale Daily News, Shriver, a Catholic, once proudly described himself as "Christian, Aristotelian, optimist and American." After graduating...
Extra Money. In last week's talks, the Americans were disappointed. The Japanese government agreed to buy only some $26 million worth of U.S. grain, but it might soon increase advance purchases of American uranium, soybeans and wheat.

The move would at least temporarily reduce Japan's $3.8 billion trade surplus with the U.S., but it would do nothing to alter its remaining import restrictions...
...pass unharmed through the 175 million-mile-wide asteroid belt. The greatest danger may not come from any of the 1,831 charted asteroids that range in diameter from one mile to 480 miles, but from untold numbers of tiny fragments, some of them no bigger than a grain of talcum powder. At typical asteroid speeds (30,000 m.p.h.), such minuscule bullets could easily puncture one of Pioneer's vital parts...
...Soviet purchases will boost 1972-1975 grain exports by 17% above their average for the past three years ($1.5 billion), which should bring many an expectant smile to grain-belt farmers. Moreover, since the U.S. did not agree to buy anything from the Russians in return, the deal will wipe off $250 million of the nation's horrendous balance-of-payments deficits during each of the next three years. Commerce Secretary Peter G. Peterson will try to build on the momentum later this month, when he is scheduled to visit Moscow to discuss other trade matters. He will likely...
