Your quotation from President Goheen's address at Princeton [in which he said "the cheap and tawdry are glorified over achievements of solid worth"] is one demanding grave and immediate consideration.

Each is aware that ultimately Christ or the Commissar must back down in Poland, but each also dreads anything that might spark a nationwide uprising and thereby provoke the Soviets to give Warsaw the Budapest treatment. But in troubled Poland, the hands of both leaders are increasingly being forced...
