...peasants in this area (e.g., in the Dearly '30s, when farmers slaughtered millions of head of cattle when forced to collectivize, and in 1950, when they burned haystacks as a protest against new regimentation) led Khrushchev last year to undertake a vast switch in Soviet agricultural effort: to grow wheat on some 100 million acres of marginal and semidesert land in Siberia. Tens of thousands of young party workers and more than half the country's agricultural-machinery production are being shipped out to Kazakhstan and Altai. But the life is not easy...
...with his parents-to a similar relationship, God the Father. The child can grasp the idea that God's family includes all people everywhere, and that therefore we must behave to them as to members of our own family.

Non-militarized, the Germans could be a living example of a people who coveted, sinned, were punished, repented, and found fulfillment in living without weapons. Militarized, they may not become warmongers, but they will be precluded from playing that distinctive old. The tragedy...
...What about Christ? I don't think that it would be desirable for children to grow up in ignorance of the New Testament. We don't want a generation who don't know what Christmas and Easter mean, who have never heard of the star of Bethlehem or the angel at the door of the tomb ... All I urge is that [the child] should hear them treated frankly as legends . . . There was a real Trojan War and Hector and Achilles may well have been real people, but we don't now believe Achilles...
