...inner conflict of the American Church has curiously been played out in the Berrigans' own lives. Sons of a working-class Irishman whose parents migrated to America to escape the potato famine, the young Berrigans were torn between conflicting aspects of their own background. On the one hand, there was the immigrant's desire to prove himself a loyal American, combined with the Catholic's tendency to play the staunch, conservative counterpart to the renegade, insurgent Protestant tradition in which America was founded. On the other hand is the fact that their father, Tom Berrigan, was a progressive...
...treatment of all those already well-known, oftretold Hornblower adventures-in quarterdeck and boudoir-that did so much to confound Great Britain's enemies in the Napoleonic Wars. It was Horatio Hornblower's peculiar character to combine brilliant seamanship and a calculating mind with such inner ravages of self-doubt that though he never lost a battle-or very rarely so-it always seemed he was about to. From a score of perilous voyages one may perhaps recall the long patrol to Latin America of the frigate Lydia (36 guns), which forced Hornblower to confront...
Precisely because he did care, Dr. Smith's book, which was written with Journalist John Luce, makes a compelling document.

In their hopes and delusions, they resemble nothing...
...contacts. And it is far easier to dump on things and people than to allow them an emotional hearing. Honest friendship allows an abandonment of the pretentious pose of self-reliance and a greater freedom to move within other people's emotional landscapes. Tenderness must be extended to the inner body. There is need in the steely eyes of a night club hooker and elegance in the bumbling adjustments of a Radcliffe freshman. Living at Radcliffe means more and more living with freshmen and sophomores and a few figity juniors. The bulk of the senior women are gone-worn...
...virtue in helping the U.S. to sell to the world. According to the current thinking, only one or two companies may be necessary in some industries. In others, mergers would help smaller producers grow bigger-and better able to meet the foreign challenge. Some men in Nixon's inner circle argue that the Sherman and Clayton antitrust acts were written for a different, simpler age. There may soon be a high-level call for a relaxation of antitrust rules and procedures, though that is certain to run into furious resistance in Congress...
