...Ramsey argues that traditional Christian moral principles are authoritative and that "how we do what we do is as important as our goals." In 1956 the Holy Office condemned situation ethics for Roman Catholics as an illicit brand of subjectivism. Attacking Fletcher's presentation in Commonweal, Dominican Theologian Herbert McCabe argues that the new morality has no criteria to distinguish love from what is really self-interest. "How do you know that what you are doing is loving?" he asks. McCabe also charges that situationism fails to consider that man is always acting within a community that cannot exist...
...November night in 1959 two ex-convicts named Perry Smith and Richard Hickock entered the Holcomb, Kans., home of Herbert Clutter, a well-to-do wheat farmer, and killed everyone in it: Clutter, his wife, his 16-year-old daughter and his 15-year-old son. Murder was only incidental to the design, which was theft. But murder was also essential: the visitors intended to leave no witnesses.

Probably so, but Wheeler's approach is not so much irreverent as insipid...
...sales climbed 125% (to $15.1 million) from a year earlier. Syntex expects sales in its current fiscal year, ending next July, to reach $55 million to $60 million, earnings to rise to about $19 million. All this is highly pleasing to its largest stockholders, Investment Bankers Charles and Herbert Allen. They bought 33% of Syntex's stock in 1958 from Ogden Corp., which they then controlled, for about $800,000. They still hold 21%, worth $192 million...
