...overriding hurt from a change in U.S. China policy would be to the idea of a free Asia. Since 1950 the U.S. has delivered some $7 billion in aid to its key Asian allies. The U.S. has had more in mind than providing its allies with a shield against Red Communist expansion. The ultimate aim: to prove that, given security and political stability, a non-Communist Asia can simultaneously solve its economic problems and work toward improvement and independence of the individual-and thus give the lie to the Communist myth that the only answer to Asian poverty is totalitarianism...
Some of the Supreme Court's language gave color to the idea that the court was reaching beyond a rule of law in an attempt to set a pattern of social behavior. The majority opinion, written by Justice John Marshall Harlan, favorably quoted Harvard Law Dean Erwin Griswold, a leading advocate of the anything-goes school of Fifth Amendment pleading. And a concurring opinion by Justice Hugo Black (with Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justices William Douglas and William J. Brennan) argued that the use of the Fifth Amendment should neither "discredit" nor "convict" any person...
Leftists who get caught up in the Communist confession mills have a fair idea of what to expect these days. As long ago as 1940, Budapest-born Arthur Koestler in his novel Darkness at Noon explained something of the techniques used.

Picked up by the AVO security police a few days after his father's funeral, he was not altogether surprised to find...
...separate but equal "gymnastic and natatorial" facilities be installed in the new Senate Office Building for Maine's Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith. Though barred from using the Senate's all-male gym and swimming pool, Mrs. Smith, only female in the Senate, pooh-poohed the grand idea: "There is no justification for such an expense." ∙∙∙ A federal judge hung two contempt-of-Congress raps on owlish Playwright Arthur Miller for clamming on who else was present at a pro-Communist writers' palaver in 1947. Maximum sentence: a year in jail...
Tillich develops this idea in his latest book, Existence and the Christ (University of Chicago; $4.50), published last week as Volume II of his massive work-in-progress, a three-volume Systematic Theology. Apart from his lighter writing and lecturing on everything from modern art to depth psychology, Harvard's Tillich is attempting to construct a modern Protestant "system"-fitting all aspects of the Christian faith together in a single intellectual whole. To this titanic task German-born Paul Tillich brought a Teutonic ponderosity in Volume I, published six years ago. It was constructed on a plan called "correlation...
