Might not such theological concepts impel men toward social revolution? Indeed, yes. U.S. Theologian Richard Shaull says that only at the center of the revolution can we "perceive what God is doing." His fellow romanticist Rubem Alves, a 36-year-old Brazilian Protestant, thinks man must meet the liberating event of Christ's Resurrection halfway, as "cocreator" of his own destiny (a Teilhardian notion) through the processes of political revolution. Moltmann frankly admits that hope leads to revolution, declaring that the Christian community ought above all to favor the poor and the dispossessed. But both he and Alves suggest...
...seems very likely that in the months ahead the logic of our internal predicament will impel an accelerating withdrawal from Viet Nam that may well at some point put unbearable strains on the present fragile government in Saigon. This remains, as it has long been, the most vulnerable center of potential breakage-and we should be under no illusions that in a pervasive climate of sauve qui pent a successor government could be deterred from making a rapid deal with the North very largely on the North's own terms...
...issues as those who advocate efficient riot control as a top national priority. At least one of the objections to professor Breuning's course, and the emphasis on riot control in general, is that they ignore the more fundamental problem of the elimination of the conditions which impel people to riot and to violate the basic political rights of others.

...death for skyjacking, but few are caught-and none has been returned by Castro. A U.S. proposal to Cuba for a regular Miami-Havana charter flight for all would-be defectors has met no response as yet. In any case, it would not satisfy the pathological urges that apparently impel most skyjackers. Last week aviation rumor had it that Castro sentences skyjackers to five years' hard labor, but that is simply not the case. A few have been detained for extended questioning, and two are in psychiatric hospitals, but the rest have gone free...
...experts figure that housing, auto finance, small businesses and state and local governments will be starved for funds. This year, the Federal Reserve Board's policy of monetary ease has pushed enough money into the economy to forestall a pinch, but many argue that rising inflation may soon impel the board to switch policy. "We might see the kind of pressures on interest rates and credit markets," says Investment Banker Sidney J. Weinberg of Manhattan's Goldman, Sachs & Co., "that could require direct controls of credit and capital markets, and possibly of wages and prices...
