...hold the torch of leadership and carry it forward, into whose hands will it fall? I cannot think that the Divine Providence . . . has permitted us to become the responsible leaders of the world . . . only to break that hope." Then, with tears in his eyes he moved into a peroration that the Senate knew was colored by the loss of his naval-aviator son in World War II. "If the free people of this globe lose confidence in us, we shall disappoint the best hopes of mankind−and we shall utterly fail to justify the sacrifices of our heroic dead...
...Walkout. The notion that opposition political rallies are damaging not only to himself but to the New Turkey he is building, was the argument that Menderes used last week to ban them. A clause in his bill provides that in the case of people attempting to hold unauthorized meetings, the police or military should shoot three times in the air, and if the meeting does not then disperse, they may fire into the crowd.

Other creditors slapped other liens on the paper...
...general, says Brameld, there are four major philosophies that dominate educational thinking today. The perennialists, e.g., Robert Hutchins, hold that "the supreme end of education is the possession of everlasting, timeless and spaceless principles of reality, truth, and value." The essentialists emphasize the cultural heritage and traditional subject matter. The progressivists treat the schools as laboratories of experience in which students learn chiefly by pragmatic problem solving. From all these, says Brameld, the reconstructionist has borrowed, but he finds each, in its own way, inadequate. Perennialism leads to dogma and false orthodoxies; essentialism stagnates in the status quo; the progressivists...
